COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1865/82

of 29 June 1982

suspending certain provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 on the common organization of the market in fishery products

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 of 29 December 1981 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (2) has been applicable since 1 June 1982, but whereas certain provisions that are necessary for its effective application have up to the present been unable to operate owing to the complexity of the problems to be resolved, which causes serious difficulties in the functioning of the market organization;

Whereas this concerns in particular the system of financial compensation provided for in Article 13 and the system of the carry-over premium provided for in Article 14 of the said Regulation;

Whereas in order to ensure the smooth functioning of the common organization of the markets, it is important, in the irrefutable public interest of the Community, to suspend until 31 December 1982 the application of Articles 13 and 14 of that Regulation and to make provision on a temporary basis, so that the fisheries sector can adapt to the new arrangements within the desired time limits, for reinstituting the system of financial compensation provided for in Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 100/76 (3);

Whereas provision should be made in so far as is at all possible to apply this measure as from 1 June 1982,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The application of Articles 13 amd 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 shall be suspended until 31 December 1982.

Article 2

The provisions of Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 100/76 and those of all the acts adopted for the execution thereof shall remain applicable until 31 December 1982.

Article 3

Articles 1 and 2 shall apply to all withdrawal operations undertaken as from 1 June 1982, provided that this does not prejudice any individual rights that may have been acquired by the day of the entry into force of this Regulation.

Article 4

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 29 June 1982.

For the Council

The President
