fixing, for December 1998, the specific agricultural conversion rate for the
amount of the reimbursement of storage costs in the sugar sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81
of 30 June 1981 on the common organisation of the
markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regula-
tion (EC) No 1148/98 (2),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No
1713/93 of 30 June 1993 establishing special detailed
rules for applying the agricultural conversion rate in the
sugar sector (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
59/97 (4), and in particular Article 1(3) thereof,

Whereas Article 1(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1713/93
provides that the amount of the reimbursement of storage

specific agricultural conversion rate equal to the average,
calculated pro rata temporis, of the agricultural conver-
sion rates applicable during the month of storage; whereas

that specific rate must be fixed each month for the
previous month;

Whereas application of these provisions will lead to the
fixing, for December 1998, of the specific agricultural
conversion rate for the amount of the reimbursement of
storage costs in the various national currencies as indi-
cated in the Annex to this Regulation,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
