Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 of 5 February 1979 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1208/84 (2),
Having regard to Council Regulation No 129 of 23 October 1962 on the value of the unit of account and the exchange rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2543/73 (4), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1393/76 of 17 June 1976 laying down detailed rules for the importation of products in the wine-growing sector originating in certain third countries (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2135/84 (6), and in particular Article 1a (4) thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Monetary Committee,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 1a of Regulation (EEC) No 1393/76, special rates are used to convert the free-at-frontier prices for imported liqueur wines into national currency; whereas the special rates applicable at present were fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1778/84 (7);
Whereas, for the currencies of the Member States maintained at any given moment with a maximum spread of 2,25 %, the special rate is the conversion rate resulting from the central rate; whereas, for the other currencies, the special rate for the period 1 September 1984 to 28 February 1985 is equal to the conversion rate in relation to all the currencies of the Member States, maintained at any given moment with a maximum spread of 2,25 %, resulting from the average rate taken into consideration for the purposes of calculating the monetary compensatory amounts valid on 1 August 1984;
Whereas, pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 855/84 of 31 March 1984 on the calculation and dismantlement of the monetary compensatory amounts applying to certain agricultural products (8), the central rate and the market rate used under the common agricultural policy have been subjected to a corrective factor of 1,033651 with effect from the 1984/85 marketing year; whereas application of these provisions makes it necessary to alter the special rates currently in force,
