COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3191/82
of 29 November 1982
laying down detailed rules for the application of the reference price system for fishery products
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), and in particular Article 21 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 21 (3) of said Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 provides that Member States are to notify the Commission regularly of the prices for imports into the Community of the products for which a Community reference price has been fixed;
Whereas, in order to ensure rapid and effective application of these provisions, it is necessary that the Member States establish the free-at-frontier price of imported products, and communicate that price to the Commission;
Whereas it is necessary to lay down the frequency and nature of Member States' notifications, and the representative markets or ports at which import prices for fresh and chilled products are to be recorded;
Whereas due account must be taken, in monitoring the price levels of imported fishery products, of the use of the margin of tolerance below the Community withdrawal price provided for in Article 13 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81;
Whereas in view of the wide range of imported fishery products to which the reference price system applies, it is necessary to define the reference to 'market days' used in Article 21 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the measures provided for in Article 21 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 are applied uniformly, the margin of tolerance for withdrawal prices referred to in Article 13 (1) of the said Regulation may not be used in respect of the species from which the product subject to such measures is derived;
Whereas this Regulation replaces Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1109/71 (2); whereas the said Regulation should therefore be repealed;
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:

- in respect of frozen products not landed from fishing vessels, the customs value fixed in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 1224/80 (3); in exceptional cases, however, where the declared customs value also includes the cost of transport within the customs territory of the Community, the latter costs shall be deducted.

Article 4
Where the measures referred to in Article 21 (4) (b) and (c) of the basic Regulation are applied to imports of a given fishery product, producers' organizations shall not apply, with respect to the species from which that product is derived, the margin of tolerance for withdrawal prices referred to in Article 13 (1) (a) of that Regulation.
