of 11 February 2011

A Union selling price is to be fixed for each of the products listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 before the beginning of the fishing year, at a level at least equal to 70 % and not exceeding 90 % of the guide price.

(5)

In order not to hinder the operation of the intervention system in the year 2011, this Regulation should apply retroactively from 1 January 2011.
