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 (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,

Whereas Article 4 (1) 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 for more than 2,5 percentage points;

Whereas Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2237/85 provides that the monetary coefficient shall be fixed before the commencement of the marketing year and, subsequently, on the first Monday of the months of November, January, March, May and July;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2238/85 (3) as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2879/85 (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,
