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 6 (2) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1756/93 (2) accidentally failed to repeal the last sentence of the last subparagraph of Article 1 (5) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 625/78 of 30 March 1978 on detailed rules of application for public storage of  skimmed-milk powder (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2270/91 (4), and the last part of the sentence in the third subparagraph of Article 24 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 685/69 of 14 April 1969 on detailed rules of application for  intervention on the market in butter and cream (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1756/93 (6); whereas those omissions should therefore be rectified;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1756/93 seeks to fix precisely the agricultural conversion rate to be applied for all amounts fixed in ecus in the milk and milk products sector; whereas that Regulation should therefore be amended so as to fix the operative  events for the amounts specified in Article 3 (3) (a) and (b) and in Article 8 (2) (c) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1107/68 of 27 July 1968 on detailed rules of application for intervention on the market in Grana Pardano and Parmigiano-Reggiano  cheeses (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2441/93 (8);
Whereas the operative event for the agricultural conversion rate to be used for the conversion into national currency of the sum referred to in Article 4 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2742/90 of 26 September 1990 laying down detailed rules for  the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2204/90 (9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2146/92 (10), referred to in item 5 of Part D of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1756/93 is the date of payment of the amount in question; whereas the  aim of that provision is to penalize the unauthorized use of caseines and caseinates; whereas that aim should be considered to have been achieved at the time the infringement is discovered; whereas the operative event should therefore be amended  appropriately;
Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
