THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 of 14 March 1977 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1088/83 (2), and in particular Article 14 (2) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation No 129 of 23 October 1962 on the value of the unit of account and the exchange rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2543/73 (4), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Whereas Article 2 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2742/82 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3099/83 (6), provides that on import into the Community of dried grapes, other than currants, a minimum import price must be respected; whereas Article 2 (2) of the same Regulation provides that if the minimum import price is not respected a countervailing charge of 16,0 ECU per 100 kilograms shall be applied;

Whereas the countervailing charge is calculated on the basis of prices applied by the main non-member supplier countries; whereas these prices justify a change of the countervailing charge;
