Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing the agrimonetary arrangements for the euro (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 abolishes the agricultural conversion rates; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1756/93 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 420/98 (3), fixes the operative events for the agricultural conversion rate to be applied to all the amounts fixed in ecus in the milk and milk products sector; whereas the reference to the agricultural conversion rate should therefore be replaced by a reference to the operative event;
Whereas the operative events for the aid referred to in Article 16(3)(d) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2571/97 on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 494/1999 (5), are defined in points 4A (i), (ii) and (iii) of part B.III of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1756/93; whereas the increase introduced by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1061/98 (6) in the tendering security referred to in Article 17(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2571/97 implies that the economic aim is achieved at the moment of tender and thus the dates mentioned above must be replaced by the final date on which tenders for a particular invitation to tender are to be submitted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
