THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 150/95 (2), and in particular Article 13 (1) thereof,

Whereas the value in ecus of certain prices and amounts was modified, with effect from 1 February 1995, by virtue of Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92, in order to cancel the effects of abolishing the correction factor of 1,207509, which applied until 31 January 1995 to conversion rates used in agriculture; whereas the new ecu values of the prices and amounts concerned were established from 1 February 1995 in accordance with the rules laid down in Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 and Article 18 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 of 30 April 1993 on detailed rules for determining and applying the agricultural conversion rates (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1053/95 (4);

Whereas, in accordance with Article 18 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate the application of the common agricultural policy, it is necessary to replace the value in ecus of the prices and amounts concerned where they are not of periodic application, and where they are applicable at least from:

- 1 January 1996 in respect of the amounts not concerned by a marketing year,

- the beginning of the 1995/96 marketing year in the other cases;

which appear in Regulations that came into force before 1 February 1995; whereas the Regulations concerned should therefore be amended:
