COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1772/82

of 29 June 1982

laying down general rules concerning the extension of certain rules adopted by producers' organizations in the fisheries sector

THE COUNCIL 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 7 (7) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas, under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81, Member States may extend to non-members who market products in a given area certain rules adopted for its members by the producers' organization considered to be representative of production and marketing in that area;

Whereas the representative nature of an organization must be determined from the scale of its production and marketing activities on the market of the area concerned;

Whereas, in order to harmonize the implementation in Member States of the arrangements described above, the marketing rules which may be extended to non-members should be defined; whereas, for the same purpose, the stage to which such extended rules apply should be specified;

Whereas, in order that the arrangements in question should have the necessary flexibility, the period for which such extended rules may apply should be limited; whereas, on the other hand, if the aims of these arrangements are to be achieved, the extended rules must apply for a minimum period to be determined,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
