THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 100/76 on the common organization of the markets in fishery products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3443/80 (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas common marketing standards for certain fresh or chilled fish were laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 103/76 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3049/79 (4);
Whereas application of these standards should have the effect of keeping products of unsatisfactory quality off the market and facilitating trade relations based on fair competition, thus helping to improve the profitability of production;
Whereas, under Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 100/76, these standards may be adjusted to take account of the requirements of production techniques ; whereas changes have been noted especially in respect of redfish and sardines ; whereas, therefore, the sizing of these products should be adjusted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
