COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1831/92 of 3 July 1992 amending Regulation (EEC) No 667/92 laying down detailed rules for the application of specific measures adopted in respect of fruit, vegetables, plants and flowers for the benefit of the French overseas departments

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 of 16 December 1991 introducing specific measures in respect of certain agricultural products for the benefit of the French overseas departments (1), and in particular Article 16 thereof,

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 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2205/90 (3), and in particular Article 2 (4) thereof,

Whereas Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 667/92 (4) sets out the detailed rules applicable to a study on processed fruit and vegetables; whereas Article 10 (2) of that Regulation stipulates the conversion rate for payment of the Community's financial contribution to the study; whereas to prevent any distortion of monetary origin a rate corresponding more closely to actual economic circumstances should be used but with due respect for application of the conversion rate indicated in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85; whereas Article 3a of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3152/85 (5) laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3237/90 (6), provides for publication of such a rate; whereas Article 10 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 667/92 should therefore be amended accordingly;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables and Live Plants,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
