amending Regulation (EEC) No 1569/72 laying down special measures for colza and rape seed and Regulation (EEC) No 2036/82 adopting general rules concerning special measures for peas, field beans and sweet lupins

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2902/89 (2), and in particular Article 36 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1431/82 of 18 May 1982 laying down special measures for peas, field beans and sweet lupins (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1104/88 (4), and in particular Article 3 (5) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1569/72 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2216/88 (6), and Regulation (EEC) No 2036/82 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1190/90 (8), provide for the monetary differential amounts to be calculated using the market rates which refer to the central rates of certain Member States;

Whereas, in order to clarify the provisions on the calculation of the monetary differential amounts, on the one hand, and to take account of the growing importance of the ecu, on the other hand, the ecu should be used directly as a reference basis to determine the market rate for currencies not complying with the margin of fluctuation of 2,25 % in the European Monetary System,
