COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2387/95 of 11 October 1995 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 as regards certain amounts fixed in ecus following the adjustment to the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy
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 7 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 23 January 1995, the agricultural conversion rate applicable to measures Community financing of which is covered entirely from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), Guidance Section, is equal to the rate applying for the entry in the accounts of expenditure against the general budget of the European Communities; whereas the rate to be used is that in force on 1 January of the year in which the aid decision is adopted; whereas the revaluation of the German mark in 1994 resulted in a reduction in the agricultural conversion rate for Germany on 1 January 1995;
Whereas certain amounts provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 of 15 July 1991 on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures (3), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, were increased by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2631/94 (4) following the adjustment of the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy;
Whereas the aids laid down in ecus in Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 were increased by Council Regulation (EC) No 2843/94 (5) to take account of inflation, with the exception of the amounts specified in Article 38 which relate to specific measures in the new German Laender;
Whereas, since the rate to be applied was further adjusted on 1 January 1995 by comparison with the 1 January 1994 rate pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91, Germany has requested, pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92, an increase in certain amounts fixed in ecus by Article 38 of Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 in order to prevent their reduction in terms of national currency;
Whereas measures applied pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 are to be adopted by the Commission in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 12 of that Regulation; whereas, therefore, the procedure referred to in Article 29 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3193/94 (7), should apply;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Agricultural Structures and Rural Development,
