THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 of 14 March 1977 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 746/85 (2), and in particular Articles 2 (9) and 5 (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 of 11 June 1985 on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (3), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas the agricultural conversion rates to be applied in the framework of the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables are fixed in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1678/85 (4);
Whereas the agricultural conversion rate applicable for a currency is generally the same for all sectors; whereas, however, certain exceptions exist, in particular when an amendment to the rate enters into force at the beginning of the various marketing years for agricultural products; whereas this situation may create problems for some composite products whose import levies or export refunds are determined on the basis of their components;
Whereas in the framework of the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables, the export refunds on sugars added to certain preserved fruit are those fixed in either the sugar or the cereals sector; whereas the import levy on sugars added to certain preserved fruit is calculated on prices established in the sugar sector; whereas under these circumstances it is appropriate to provide that the agricultural conversion rates for such amounts should be those applicable in the agricultural sectors covering the relevant basic products;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
