COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 575/92  of 6 March 1992  making imports of yellowfin tuna for industrial processing into products of CN code 1604 subject to 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 3687/91 of 28 November 1991 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), and in particular Article 24 (6) thereof,
Whereas the ban introduced by the United States of America on imports of yellowfin tuna caught along with dolphins in the eastern Pacific has considerably destabilized the international market; whereas as a result Community imports of yellowfin tuna for  industrial processing have been at abnormally low prices; whereas the free-at-frontier price of significant quantities of this product remained below the reference price for more than three consecutive working days;
Whereas this situation is liable to persist, the United States having in fact decided to extend the ban to all yellowfin tuna irrespective of catch zone; whereas as a result the Community market is undergoing serious disturbance owing to supplies made  available by third countries at abnormally low prices liable to jeopardize market recovery; whereas it is accordingly necessary to make imports of yellowfin tuna subject to observance of the reference price;
Whereas, pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 24 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 3687/91, the Commission may adopt the measure provided for in this Regulation in the intervals between the periodic meetings of the Management Committee for Fishery  Products,
