THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 of 29 December 1981 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), and in particular Article 7 (7) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81, Member States may extend to non-members who market products in a given area certain rules adopted for its members by the producers' organization considered to be representative of production and marketing in that area;
Whereas the representative nature of an organization must be determined from the scale of its production and marketing activities on the market of the area concerned;
Whereas, in order to harmonize the implementation in Member States of the arrangements described above, the marketing rules which may be extended to non-members should be defined; whereas, for the same purpose, the stage to which such extended rules apply should be specified;
Whereas, in order that the arrangements in question should have the necessary flexibility, the period for which such extended rules may apply should be limited; whereas, on the other hand, if the aims of these arrangements are to be achieved, the extended rules must apply for a minimum period to be determined,
