The introduction of the Euro will end the need for a system to dampen currency fluctuations in the agri-food sector : the [European] Commission has thus decided to propose a reform of the agrimonetary system which includes in particular abolishing... the current agricultural conversion rate, the "green rate", which is distinct from the official exchange rate. This complex mechanism, which was originally introduced to spread the adjustment of national agricultural prices to currency fluctuations over time, will lose its raison d’être. Since the Member States using the Euro will no longer have different exchange rates, there will be no need for such green rates. 3, record 1, English, - agricultural%20conversion%20rate

Currency used by each and every European Economic Community member country, expressed in units of account at the beginning of the agricultural year. Farmers are therefore protected from variations in exchange rates. The artificial and stable nature of the currency created business opportunities for international dealers, however were eventually avoided by means of a monetary compensation system. 1, record 2, English, - green%20currency
