PROCEDURE 
 
(1) On 4 February 2005, the Commission imposed  definitive safeguard measures by Commission 
Regulation (EC) No 206/2005
3 (the definitive Regulation).  Pu rsuant to its Article 2, the 
measures include the application of a minimum import price (MIP). 
 
(2) In particular, Article 2(3) of the definitiv e Regulation sets the level of the MIP applicable 
until 15 April 2005. 
 (3) Recital (112) of the definitive Regulation calls for an early review before the entry into force 
of the revised MIP, should this be warranted.

monitoring of the market and the development of prices.  At this stage, it has not yet been possible to reach a conclusion on the appropriateness of a definitive minimum import price.  Under the circumstances, and in order to pe rmit the Commission to come to a definitive 
conclusion, while at the same time not undul y disturbing the market, it is considered 
appropriate to prolong the ph ase-in period until 24 May 2005,
