             THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
             Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
             Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3578/88 of 17 November 1988 laying
             down detailed rules for the application of the system for the automatic dismantlement of
             negative monetary compensatory amounts ('), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No
             287/91 (2), and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof,
            Whereas Article 6a of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85 of 11 June 1985 on monetary
             compensatory amounts in agriculture (*), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No
             2205/90 (4), lays down that the agricultural conversion rates of a Member State should be
             adjusted so as to avoid the application of monetary compensatory amounts in the pigmeat
             sector :
            Whereas the movement of the market rate for the pound sterling and Portuguese escudo
             during the reference period 12 to 18 June 1991 should, given the adjustment of the agricultural
            conversion rate determined by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1678/85 (5), as last amended by
            Regulation (EEC) No 1644/91 (*), entail, in accordance with Article 2 of Commission Regu­

            increase in the monetary differences applicable in the pigmeat sector in the United Kingdom
            and Portugal effective from 24 June 1991 ; whereas in order to prevent the risk of frequent and
            economically unjustified adjustments in monetary compensatory amounts it is necessary to
            adjust the agricultural conversion rate so as to avoid the creation of new monetary differences
            having regard to the criteria in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3578/88 ,
            HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
