Whereas, under Council Regulation (EEC) No 974/71 of 12 May 1971 on certain measures of conjunctural policy to be taken in agriculture following the temporary widening of the margins of fluctuations for the currencies of certain Member States (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 855/84 (9), and in particular Article 2b thereof, the central rates and the market rates are, with effect from the 1984/85 marketing year, to be adjusted by a corrective factor; whereas following the realignment of central rates under the European monetary system effective from 22 July 1985 this corrective factor was, by Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2055/85 (10), set at 1,035239,
