COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 420/93 of 25 February 1993 making imports of certain fishery products subject to observance of the reference price
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), and in particular Article 22 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 22 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 envisages, inter alia, that where the free-at-frontier price of a specified product, imported from a third country, stays below the reference price and where considerable quantities of that product  are imported, imports of products listed, inter alia, in Annex I (Section A), Annex IV (Section B) and Annex V may be made subject to the condition that the free-at-frontier price is at least equal to the reference price;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3191/82 (2) laid down detailed rules for the reference price system in the fishery products sector and in particular for the determination of the free-at-frontier price referred to in Article 22 (3) of Regulation  (EEC) No 3759/92;
Whereas the reference prices for fishery products for the 1993 fishing year were fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3893/92 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 351/93 (4);
Whereas for the last months it has been established that on the Community market the free-at-frontier price of significant quantities of certain fishery products remained below the reference price for these products; whereas, in view of this, there is a  danger that the stabilization measures on the Community market could be threatened; whereas, in order to avoid disturbances due to offers at abnormally low prices, it is necessary to require imports for the products in question to observe the reference  price;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
