               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 reduce temporarily the Common Customs tariff duties for the importation of these products.

               (4)
            
            
               Since this Regulation is to apply from 1 August 2005, it should enter into force immediately,
