COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1962/93 of 20 July 1993 providing for the grant of compensation to producers' organizations in respect of tuna delivered to the canning industry during the period 1 October to 31 December 1992
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 697/93 (2), and in particular Article 18 (8) thereof,
Whereas the compensation referred to in Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 is granted, under certain conditions, to Community tuna producers' organizations in respect of quantities of tuna delivered to the canning industry, during the calendar quarter for which prices were recorded, where the average quarterly price recorded on the Community market and the free-at-frontier price, plus, if necessary, the countervailing charge, are both lower than 93 % of the Community producer price for the product in question;
Whereas examination of the situation of the Community market has shown that for two species of the product in question, for the period 1 October to 31 December 1992, both the average quarterly market price and the free-at-frontier price referred to in
Article 18
of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 were lower than 93 % of the Community producer price in force as laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3570/91 of 28 November 1991 fixing, in respect of the 1992 fishing year, the Community producer price for tuna intended for the industrial manufacture of products falling within CN code 1604 (3);
Whereas the quantities eligible for compensation, within the meaning of Article 18 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92, shall not under any circumstances exceed, for the quarter concerned, the limits laid down in paragrph 4 of that Article;
Whereas during the quarter concerned the quantities sold and delivered to canning industries established in Community customs territory are, in the case of two presentations of yellowfin tuna, higher than those sold and delivered during the same quarter of the last three fishing years; whereas these quantities exceed the limits set in the first indent of Article 18 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92, the total quantities of these products should therefore be limited to those eligible for compensation and the quantities granted to each producers' organization concerned should be determined in accordance with their respective output during the same quarter of the 1984 to 1986 fishing years;
Whereas, the granting of compensation for the products in question should be decided for the period from 1 October to 31 December 1992;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
