COMMISSION  REGULATION (EC) No 797/95 of 7 April 1995 fixing the compensatory aid for Community bananas  marketed in 1994 and the advance for 1995 and derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93 as  regards the time limit for the payment of the balance of aidTHE COMMISSION OF THE  EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organization  of the market in bananas  (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94  (2), and in  particular Articles 12 (6) and 14 thereof, 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  (3), as last  amended by Regulation (EC) No 150/95  (4), and in particular Articles 12 and 13 (1) thereof, Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93  (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 796/95   (6), lays down detailed rules for applying Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as regards the aid scheme to  compensate for loss of income from marketing in the banana sector; Whereas, pursuant to Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, compensatory aid is to be calculated  on the basis of the difference between the flat-rate reference income for bananas produced and  marketed within the Community and the average production income obtained on the Community market  during the year in question; whereas additionnal aid is granted in favour of a production region if  the average production income there is significantly lower than the Community average; Whereas prices for bananas produced and marketed in the Community during 1994 were such that the  average of the prices at the stage of delivery at the first port of unloading in the rest of the  Community, less the average costs of transport and delivery fob, is less than the reference income  fixed in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93; whereas the compensatory aid for 1994 should  therefore be fixed; Whereas, due to very unfavourable production conditions, the average production income obtained  from marketing bananas produced in Madeira was significantly lower than the Community average  during 1994; whereas, therefore, additional aid should be granted for bananas produced in Madeira; Whereas, moreover, advances and securities for quantities of bananas marketed during a given year  depend on the amount of aid paid in respect of the preceding year pursuant to Article 4 (2) of  Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93; Whereas, pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93, the rates to be used for converting  advances and the balance of aid into national currency are the agricultural conversion rates  applicable on the first day of each of the marketing periods for which the amounts are paid;  whereas, the operative event for the conversion rate for both the balance of aid to be paid for  1994 and the first advance for 1995 occurs before 1 February; whereas, therefore, in fixing the  amounts, account should be taken of a correcting factor of 1,207509 to be applied to the conversion  rate; Whereas the final amount of compensatory aid for 1994 could not be fixed in time to permit payment  within the time limits laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93; whereas, therefore,  the time limit for the payment of the balance of compensatory aid should be two months from the  date of publication of this Regulation; Whereas this Regulation must enter into force on the day of its publication to be fully effective; Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Bananas, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 1.  The compensatory aid referred to in Article 12 of Regulation  (EEC) No 404/93 for Community bananas falling within CN code ex 0803, excluding plaintains,  marketed fresh during 1994 shall be ECU 17,2 per 100 kg. 2.  The amount of aid referred to in paragraph 1 shall be increased by ECU 4 per 100 kg for bananas  produced in the region of Madeira. 3.  The advance for Community bananas marketed during January and February 1995 shall be ECU 12 per  100 kg. The security relating thereto shall be ECU 6 per 100 kg. For bananas marketed during the rest of 1995, the advance and the security shall be ECU 14,49 per  100 kg and ECU 7,24 per 100 kg respectively. Article 2 Notwithstanding Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93, the competent authorities of  the Member States shall pay the balance of compensatory aid for 1994 within two months of  publication of this Regulation. Article 3 This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official  Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all  Member States. Done at Brussels, 7 April 1995. For the Commission Franz FISCHLER Member of the Commission
