COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 789/83

of 5 April 1983

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2742/82 on protective measures applicable to imports of dried grapes

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

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 1118/81 (2), and in particular Article 14 (2) 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,

Whereas Article 2 (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2742/82 of 13 October 1982 (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 330/83 (6), provides that the minimum price and the countervailing charge shall after having been converted into national currency be multiplied by a coefficient;

Whereas that multiplication is made to ensure that the minimum price expressed in national currency should not lead to distortion of trade;

Whereas the conversion rate of the currencies of the Member States has been adjusted with effect from 22 March 1983;

Whereas that fact could lead to distortion of trade; whereas, to avoid that risk, the coefficients in force should be adapted,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
