The average period for which the capital made available to the paying agencies by the Member States is tied up shall be considered to be one month and a half.  Article 2  1. For determining the total amount of interest for which the Community is to be responsible in respect of a given financial year, the following formula shall be used:  M × 1,5 × i  12  1.2 // M   // = total expenditure for the financial year  // 1,5   // = average period for which capital is tied up  // i   // = annual rate of interest (0,068).  2. The interest may be calculated monthly in the course of a financial year with the aid of the coefficient 0,0085, but the total amount eligible in respect of a financial year shall be determined by the formula given in paragraph 1.  Article 3  This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
