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 988/84 (2), and in particular Article 14 (2) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation No 129 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 (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2742/82 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3009/84 (6), provides that the minimum price and the countervailing charge shall, after having been converted into national currency, be multiplied by a coefficient;

Whereas that multiplication is made to ensure that the minimum price expressed in national currencies should not lead to distortion of trade;

Whereas the representative rate of the German mark and the Dutch guilder will be changed on 1 January 1985 pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 855/84 (7);

Whereas that fact could lead to distortion of trade; whereas to avoid that risk the coefficient in force for the German mark and the Dutch guilder should be adapted,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The coefficient for the German mark and the Dutch guilder referred to in Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2742/82 is hereby replaced by:

- 0,972 for the German mark, and

- 0,972 for the Dutch guilder.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1985.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 7 December 1984.
