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 746/85 (2), and in particular Article 4a (7) thereof,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2237/85 of 30 July 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the minimum import price system for dried grapes (3), and in particular Article 4 thereof,

Whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2237/85 provides that the Commission shall fix a monetary coefficient equal to the real monetary gap between the agricultural conversion rate for the currency of a Member State and the central rate, or, where applicable, the market rate when that gap is equal to or more than 2,5 percentage points;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2238/85 (4) fixes the minimum import price applicable to dried grapes during the marketing year 1985/86 as well as the countervailing charges to be imposed where that price is not observed; whereas the import prices as set out in Annex II of that Regulation are calculated as specific percentages of the minimum import price; whereas as a result the monetary coefficient should apply both to the minimum import prices and the import prices,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

- for the German mark: 0,972,

- for the Dutch guilder: 0,972,

- for the Greek drachma: 1,075,

- for the Italian lire: 1,049,

- for the pound sterling: 0,968.
