Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2700/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1602/2000(4), and in particular Article 173 (1) thereof,

(2) The result of applying the rules and criteria laid down in the abovementioned Articles to the elements communicated to the Commission in accordance with Article 173 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 is that unit values set out in the Annex to this Regulation should be established in regard to the products in question,

Whereas the Commission, acting in accordance with Article 24 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92, adopted, by Regulation (EEC) No 695/93 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1672/93 (4), safeguard measures applicable to the placing in free  circulation of fishery products landed in the Community by fishing vessels from third countries; whereas theses measures were justified by the serious disturbances on the Community market for a number of fishery products caused by the volume of direct  landings of those products and the difficulties of disposing of the Communigy production which the situation caused;
Whereas the information available to the Commission suggests that the Community market equilibrium for the products concerned continues to be precarious; whereas in that context a renewed increase in the volume of direct landings could cause serious  disturbances likely to jeopardize the objectives of Article 39 of the Treaty;
Whereas it is necessary, therefore, to extend the application of Regulation (EEC) No 695/93,
Regulation (EEC) No 695/93 is hereby amended as follows:
