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 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1053/95 (6);

- the beginning of the 1996 marketing year in the case of the prices or amounts for which that marketing year starts in January 1996,

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