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,
1. Release for free circulation in the Community of yellowfin tuna as specified in the Annex shall be subject to observance of the reference price as set out in the Annex.
2. Where the free-at-frontier price is lower than the aforementioned reference price, a countervailing charge shall be levied.
