Whereas Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 411/88 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1644/89 (4), lays down that the uniform interest rate used for calculating the costs of financing intervention measures is to correspond to the interest rates for the ecu for three months' and 12 months' forward rates recorded by the Statistical Office of the European Communities on the Euromarkets with a weighting of one-third and two-thirds respectively;
Whereas the Commission fixes this rate before the beginning of each EAGGF Guarantee Section accounting year on the basis of the rates recorded in the six months preceding fixing;
