EC increases guide prices for most fish

17 November 2011

The European Commission has tabled its annual proposal on next year's guide prices for fresh and frozen fisheries products, and the EU producer price for tuna processing. The Commission proposes increases between 1% and 3% for most pelagic and whitefish species, except hake, plaice, dab and monkfish, for which decreases between 1.5 % and 2.5 % are proposed. For frozen fish the Commission proposes increases between +1% and +3%. When adopted, the regulation will ensure the functioning of the price support and intervention mechanisms laid down in Council Regulation 104/2000.
