Recital 7
(7) Producer organisations are the key actors for the appropriate application of the Common Fisheries Policy and the Common Market Organisation. It is therefore necessary to strengthen their objectives to ensure that their members carry out fishing and aquaculture activities in a sustainable manner, improve the placing on the market of products, and collect economic information on aquaculture. When realising these objectives, producer organisations should take account of the different conditions of the fishery and aquaculture sectors prevailing in the Union, in particularespecially as regards the outermost regions, which should be accorded differentiated treatment tailored to their specificities, and of the specificities of small-scale fisheries.

(11) The unpredictability of fishing activities makes it appropriate to set up acontinue applying market intervention support measures, for example ‘fish withdrawals’, and the mechanism of storing fishery products for human consumption with a view to fostering greater market stability and to increaseing the return on products, in particular by creating added value. This mechanism should contribute to the stabilisation and convergence of the Union local markets with a view to achieving the single market.

Recital 18
(18) It is appropriate to lay down competition rules applicable to the production and marketing of fishery and aquaculture products, taking into account the specific features of the fishery and aquaculture sector, including fragmentation of the sector, the fact that fish is a shared resource and the large extent of imports, which should be governed by the same rules as Union fishery and aquaculture products. For the sake of simplification, the relevant provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1184/2006 of 24 July 2006 applying certain rules of competition to the production of and trade in certain agricultural products should be incorporated into the present ris Regulation. Regulation (EC) No 1184/2006 should therefore no longer apply to fishery and aquaculture products.
