Whereas Article 6 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85 provides that a correcting factor is to be applied for the purposes of calculating the monetary compensatory amounts; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2502/86 fixed this coefficient at 1,097805; whereas, as provided for in the last subparagraph of the said paragraph, this factor must be altered whenever parities are realigned within the European Monetary System, on the basis of the revaluation of the central rate of that currency among the currencies maintained among themselves within a maximum spread at any given time of 2,25 %, the revaluation of which vis-à-vis the ECU is the highest;

Whereas a realignment of central rates under the European Monetary System has occurred with effect from 12 January 1987;

Whereas the greatest revaluation against the ECU is 2,54 %; whereas the correcting factor should be adjusted accordingly;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the relevant Management Committees,
