COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 870/93 of 14 April 1993 amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 by adjusting certain amounts fixed in ecu following the alteration of the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common  agricultural policy
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
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 (1), and in particular Article 13 (1),
Whereas, pursuant to Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92, the agricultural conversion rate applicable to measures in respect of which Community financing comes solely from the Guidance Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee  Fund (EAGGF) shall be equal, as from 1 January 1993, to the rate applicable for the entry into the accounts of expenditure to the general budget of the European Communities; whereas this leads to a lowering of the conversion rate previously applicable;
Whereas, following the lowering of the conversion rate, certain Member States requested an increase in the amounts laid down by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 of 15 July 1991 on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures (2), as amended by  Regulation (EEC) No 2080/92 (3);
Whereas the increase in certain amounts fixed in ecus under Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 prevents the lowering of the conversion rate from causing a reduction in national currency of the amounts concerned; whereas such an increase constitutes a necessary  measure pursuant to Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 in order to facilitate the initial application of the Regulation;
Whereas the measures taken pursuant to Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 shall be adopted by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 12 thereof; whereas the procedure laid down in Article 29 of Commission  Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 (4) shall apply accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development,
