Article 2 For the purposes of assessing whether the products listed in Article 1 (2) (a) and (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC are being imported in such quantities and under such conditions as might seriously prejudice or threaten to prejudice the interests of Community producers of the products listed in Article 1 (2) of that Regulation, the following in particular shall be taken into account:    (a) the prices on importation into the Community for one or more of the products or the foreseeable trend of such prices with particular reference to any tendency towards an excessive decline as compared with prices for the products listed in Article 1 (2) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC which they might replace on the Community market;       (b) the volume of actual or foreseeable imports of products showing a tendency towards an excessive decline as compared with prices for substitute products, particularly if these imports are not in line with the trend of requirements on the Community market for those products and the products which they might replace;       (c) prices recorded on the Community market, or the foreseeable trend of such prices, and any tendency towards an excessive decline in these prices;       (d) the foreseeable effects of an excessive decline in prices and an increase in actual or foreseeable imports of the products in question on the position of Community producers of those products or the products which they might replace.          Article 3 The compensatory amount may be fixed only at the  1OJ No 172, 30.9.1966, p. 3025/66. 2OJ No L 275, 19.12.1970, p. 5.   level and for the length of time strictly necessary to prevent prejudice or the threat of prejudice to the interests of Community producers.
