The Commission has installed a telex with an automatic answering device which gives the conversion rates 
in a number of currencies. This service is available every day from 3.30 p.m. until 1 p.m. the following day. 
Users of the service should do as follows: 
— call telex number Brussels 23789; 
— give their own telex code; 
— type the code 'cccc' which puts the automatic system into operation resulting in the transmission of the 
conversion rates of the ECU; 
— the transmission should not be interrupted until the end of the message, which is marked by the code 
'ffff. 
Note: The Commission also has an automatic telex answering service (No 21791) providing daily data on 
calculation of monetary compensatory amounts for the purposes of the common agricultural policy.
