Article 2  The minimum import price shall be deemed not to have been observed where, for a three-month period during the marketing year, which begins on 1 June and ends on 31 May the following year, the average unit value of each of the products  concerned imported into the Community during that same period is lower than the minimum import price for that product.  Article 3  If, within each three-month period, the unit value as referred in Article 2 is, for a two-week period, less than 90 % of the minimum import price, subject to the quantity imported during that period being at least equal to 4 % of the quantity  imported into the Community from the same country during the previous year, the Commission shall inform the competent authorities of the third country in question as well as the Member States.  Article 4  In cases where verification under Article 2 shows that the minimum import price is not observed, the Commission shall apply the measures provided for in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1333/92 for a period not exceeding three months.  Article 5  1. For the period ending on 31 May 1993, the minimum import prices for each of the products listed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1333/92 originating in Hungary, Poland and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic shall be as set out in the  Annex to this Regulation.  2. The minimum import price shall be converted into the national currency of the Member State in which the products are released for free circulation using the conversion rate referred to in Article 3a of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3152/85 (4) valid  on the date on which the certificate of release for free circulation is accepted.
