adjusted onthebasis ofthecoefficients ofequivalence
shown intheAnnex tothat Regulation ;whereas ,in
thecase ofoffers ontheworld market forqualities of
colza and rape seed other than those listed inthat
Annex ,coefficients ofequivalence derived from those
listed inthat Annex may ,pursuant toArticle 4of
Regulation No 225/67/EEC ,beapplied ;whereas ,
when derived coefficients are being calculated ,
account must betaken ofthe differences between
prices forthequalities ofseed inquestion and prices

consideration forthepurposes ofthecalculation are
fixed inArticle 5ofRegulation No 225/67/EEC ;
