Prices relating to offers which are not representative shall be excluded.  Article 2  The additional amount shall be the same per unit of quantity for all imports of a given product, originating in or imported from third countries, as the case may be, in respect of which the same offer price has been determined.  Article 3  An additional amount shall be fixed when it is found that the offer price has fallen below the sluice-gate price. It shall be altered when it is found that the offer price has altered. It shall cease to apply when it is found that the offer price has reached or has exceeded the sluice-gate price.  Article 4  The Commission shall regularly examine the elements on the basis of which additional amounts are fixed.  Member States shall regularly communicate to the Commission statistics of imports together with the information required to enable it to assess price trends on Community and third country markets.  Article 5  Regulation No 202/67/EEC is hereby repealed.  Article 6  This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
