COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 315/87

of 30 January 1987

fixing the special rates for converting the free-at-frontier reference prices of imported liqueur wines into national currency

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 of 5 February 1979 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3455/86 (2),

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 of 11 June 1985 on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (3), and in particular Article 2 thereof,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1393/76 of 17 June 1976 laying down detailed rules for the importation of products in the wine-growing sector originating in certain third countries (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2135/84 (5), and in particular Article 1a (4) thereof,

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 2628/86 (6);

Whereas Article 1a (3) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1393/76 provides that the special rate for a currency other than those maintained at any given moment within a maximum spread of 2,25 % is to be revised when, for a period of 20 working days, its conversion rate moves away by an average of not less than 10 % from the special rate previously fixed for it; whereas this has occurred for both the pound sterling and the Greek drachma; whereas application of these provisions makes it necessary to alter the special rate for the pound sterling and that for the Greek drachma;

Whereas for the currencies maintained at any given moment within a maximum spread at 2,25 % the special rate is the conversion rate given by the central rate; whereas following the monetary realignment effective from 12 January 1987 new central rates must be used;

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 90/87 (8), and in particular of Article 6 (2) thereof, the central rates and the market rates are to be multiplied by a corrective factor,
