COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2415/78
of 17 October 1978
on the statistical threshold in the external trade statistics of the Community and statistics of trade between Member States
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1736/75 of 24 June 1975 on the external trade statistics of the Community and statistics of trade between Member States (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2845/77 (2), and in particular Articles 24 and 41 thereof,
Whereas, since Council Regulation (EEC) No 2845/77 of 19 December 1977 has now entered into force and fixed the new statistical threshold at 300 European Units of Account (EUA), this latter should be converted into national currencies;
Whereas the rate of conversion for each currency in relation to the EUA varies from day to day; whereas to determine the value of the statistical threshold the application of a fixed rate of conversion is required; whereas this latter rate may be based on the average exchange rates during the period January to December 1977;
Whereas in the interests of simplification the amounts so obtained should be rounded off;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on External Trade Statistics,
