2008 guide prices for fisheries products: increases for white fish but decreases for most pelagic species and frozen products

ANNONCER

Today, the European Commission has adopted its annual proposal on next year’s guide prices for fresh and frozen fisheries products as well as the Community producer price for tuna for processing. The Commission proposes to raise guide prices for the majority of white fish species including cod, redfish, saithe and haddock by between 0.5 % and 3 %. The market for white fish has recovered from the downward trend observed in 2002 and 2003 when there were considerable drops in prices and increased withdrawals. The market environment has been favourable in 2006 and the first half of 2007, resulting in moderate price rises for products originating in the EU. There will also be slight increases in guide prices for crustaceans. However, the market situation for pelagic species is less favourable. The upward trend observed during 2004 and 2005 came to an end in 2006, with prices dropping for most species except herring. As a result, guide prices for most pelagic species will be decreased by between 1.5% and 3%. For frozen products, the proposal mainly reflects decreasing prices on the international markets with decreases of between -0.5% and -3% for Greenland halibut, whole hake, swordfish, prawns and squid. Finally, the Commission proposes to increase the Community producer price for tuna products by 2 %. The Commission proposals are based on Member States’ average market prices over the previous three years. Other important factors also taken into account include trends in production and market demand, the interests of consumers and the need to avoid withdrawals of fisheries products from the market.
