COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3270/91  of 8 November 1991  making imports of Atlantic salmon subject to observance of the minimum price
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 of 29 December 1981 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3571/90 (2), and in particular Article 24 (2) thereof,
Whereas, in view of the risk of a disturbance of the Community market caused by imports of Atlantic salmon, the Commission adopted Regulation (EEC) No 1658/91 establishing arrangements for retrospective Community surveillance in respect of imports of  Atlantic salmon (3);
Whereas these arrangements have revealed that Community imports of Atlantic salmon falling within CN codes ex 0302 12 00 and ex 0303 22 00 have been taking place at abnormally low prices; whereas the Community market in these products is liable in  consequence to be severely disrupted thus jeopardizing the objectives of Article 39 of the Treaty, in particular with regard to producers earnings;
Whereas, given the foreseeable volume of imports and their prices, there is reason to fear that this situation will persist or become worse in the coming months; whereas, in order to avoid this prospect, imports of the products in question should be  made subject to observance of a minimum import price,
