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 of 19 January 1976 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2560/77 (2),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 110/76 of 19 January 1976 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on fishery products and criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3), and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof,
Whereas it has been found that products of Community origin are frozen and/or processed on board a vessel flying the flag of a non-member country ; whereas such products are exported after having been frozen or processed;
Whereas the economic conditions under which such operations are carried out are comparable to those of operations carried out in non-member countries where production costs are substantially lower than in the Community ; whereas the granting of export refunds on products frozen and/or processed under such conditions gives these products an unjustified economic advantage;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
