Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3864/91 of 16 December 1991 fixing, for the 1992 fishing year, the withdrawal and selling prices for fishery products listed in Annex I (A), (D) and (E) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3864/91  of 16 December 1991  fixing, for the 1992 fishing year, the withdrawal and selling prices for fishery products listed in Annex I (A), (D) and (E) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81
THE  COMMISSION 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), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3571/90 (2), and in particular Article 12 (3) thereof,
Whereas Article 12 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 provides that the Community withdrawal and selling prices for each of the products listed in Annex I (A), (D) and (E) are to be fixed 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;
Whereas changes in production and marketing structures in the Community make it necessary to alter the basis for calculating the withdrawal and the sale prices in the Community as compared with those of the preceding fishing year;
Whereas Article 12 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 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;
Whereas, with regard to sardines of the species Sardina pilchardus, special conditions have been adopted in the Act of Accession in order to ensure a progressive alignment of prices of sardines from the Atlantic on price levels of sardines from the  Mediterranean; whereas the production structure and access to the market of Atlantic sardines are different to those for Mediterranean sardines and meet the special needs of the processing industry; whereas, with a view to the smooth application of the  alignment of prices which does not artificially disturb market supply conditions, it is necessary to fix a special adaptation coefficient for size 3 of this product in the landing areas concerned in Spain and Portugal;
Whereas the guide prices for the 1992 fishing year were fixed for all the products in question by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3569/91 (3);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
