THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on the common organisation of the market in fishery and aquaculture products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3318/94(2), and in particular Article 11(3) and Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 11(1) and Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 provide that the Community withdrawal and selling prices for each of the products listed, respectively, in Annex I(A), (D) and in Annex I(E) shall be fixed on the basis of the freshness, size or weight and the presentation of the product by applying the conversion factor for the product category concerned to an amount equal to at least 70 % but not more than 90 % of the relevant guide price.
(2) Article 11(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 provides that the withdrawal price may be multiplied by conversion factors in landing areas which are very distant from main centres of consumption in the Community.
(3) Article 6(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2406/96 of 26 November 1996 laying down common marketing standards for certain fishery products(3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 323/97(4), provides that when a lot is placed in category B, that lot is ineligible for the financial assistance granted in respect of intervention from 1 January 2000. Therefore, withdrawal prices for "B" quality products need no longer be fixed.
(4) The guide prices for the 2000 fishing year were fixed for all the products in question by Council Regulation (EC) No 2746/1999(5).
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for fishery products,
