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 27 (2) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1658/91 (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3629/91 (3), introduced arrangements applicable to 30 June 1992 for retrospective Community surveillance of Atlantic salmon imports;

Whereas because of serious disturbance of the Community market for salmon the Commission has, by Regulation (EEC) No 3270/91 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 992/92 (5), made Atlantic salmon imports subject to observance of a minimum price;

Whereas so that proper monitoring of the trend of Atlantic salmon imports can be continued and action taken to forestall any further deterioration in the market, the period of validity of the surveillance arrangements introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1658/91 should be extended for six months,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
