THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to the opinion of the Monetary Committee,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 1a of Regulation (EEC) No 1393/76, special rates are used to convert the free-at-frontier reference prices for imported liqueur wines into national currency; whereas the special rates applicable at present were fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1292/86 (6);

Whereas for the currencies of the Member States maintained at any given moment within a maximum spread of 2,25 %, the special rate is the conversion rate resulting from the central rate; whereas, for the other currencies, the special rate for the period 1 September 1986 to 28 February 1987 is equal to the conversion rate in relation to all the currencies of the Member States maintained at any given moment with a maximum spread of 2,25 % resulting from the average rate taken into consideration for the purposes of calculating the monetary compensatory amounts valid on 1 August 1986;

Whereas, under the terms of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85 of 11 June 1985 on monetary compensatory amounts in agriculture (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2502/86 (8), and in particular of Article 6 (2) thereof, the central rates and the market rates are to be multiplied by a corrective factor,
