The Community is a major consumer of certain tropical
fishery products. It has to import large quantities of such
products in order to satisfy its needs. In order to avoid
disruptions of trade, it is in the Community’s interest to

Having regard to the economic importance of this Regu-
lation, it is necessary to rely on the grounds of urgency
provided for in point I.3 of the Protocol annexed to the
Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties estab-
lishing the European Community on the
role of
