Whereas the quantities sold and delivered during the quarter concerned to the canning industry established in the customs territory of the Community were higher overall than 62,8 % of the quantities of tuna used by the industry during that quarter and, in the case of albacore, higher than those sold and delivered during the same quarter of the last three fishing years and, in the case of Yellowfin tuna (the two presentations, i.e. weighing less than and more than 10 kg), higher than 110 % of those sold and delivered during the same quarter of the 1984, 1985 and 1986 fishing years; whereas these quantities exceed the limits laid down in the first indent of Article 18 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 for skipjack and bigeye tuna, in the second indent for albacore tuna and in the third indent for Yellowfin tuna (the two presentations); whereas the total quantities of these products that may be eligible for the allowance should be limited and the quantities allocated to the producers' organization concerned should be determined in proportion to their respective production during the same quarter of the 1984, 1985 and 1986 fishing years;
