THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

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), and in particular Article 18 (7) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation No 129 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 the opinion of the Monetary Committee,

Whereas pursuant to Article 1a (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1393/76 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3104/80 (6), special rates are used to convert into national currency the free-at-frontier reference prices for imported liqueur wines; whereas the same Article lays down that, for currencies other than those which are maintained, at any given moment, within a maximum spread of 2,25 %, the special rates must be adjusted at least twice a year on fixed dates, one of which must coincide with the beginning of the price system applicable in the wine-growing sector; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 337/79, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1595/83 (7), lays down that the price system shall apply for the same period as the marketing year, which begins on 1 September every year and ends on 31 August the following year;

Whereas Article 1a (3) (a) and (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1393/76 should therefore be amended in a manner which brings it into line with the amendments made to Regulation (EEC) No 337/79;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1a (3) (a) and (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1393/76 is hereby replaced by the following:

(b) shall be equal to the conversion rate in relation to all the currencies referred to in paragraph 2 resulting from the average rate taken into consideration for the purpose of calculating the monetary compensatory amounts valid, as regards the special rate taking effect on:

- 1 September: on 1 August of the current year,

- 1 March: on 1 February of the current year.'

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 September 1984.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
