COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1663/92 of 26 June 1992 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 1991
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3687/81 of 28 November 1991 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), and in particular Article 20 (10) thereof,
Whereas the compensation referred to in Article 20 of Regulation (EEC) No 3687/91 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 are both lower than 93 % of the Community producer price for the product in question;
Whereas examination of the situation on the Community market has shown that for some species and presentations of the product in question, for the period 1 October to 31 December 1991, both the average quarterly market price and the free-at-frontier price referred to in Article 20 of Regulation (EEC) No 3687/91 were lower than 93 % of the Community producer price in force as laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3551/91 of 20 November 1990 fixing, for the 1991 fishing year, the Community producer price for tuna intended for the industrial manufacture of products falling within CN code 1604 (2), amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3896/90 of 19 December 1990 (3);
Whereas the quantities eligible for compensation, within the meaning of Article 20 of Regulation (EEC) No 3687/91, may not under any circumstances exceed, for the quarter concerned, the limits laid down in paragraph 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 skipjack and yellowfin weighing not more than 10 kg, higher than those sold and delivered during the same quarter of the preceding three fishing years; whereas these quantities exceed the limits set in Article 20, second indent of paragraph 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3687/91, 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, in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2381/89 of 2 August 1989 laying down detailed rules for granting compensation for tuna for the canning industry (4), the granting of compensation for the products in question should be decided for the period from 1 October to 31 December 1991;
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:
