Whereas the measures provided for in Article 6 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85 are motivated by the need to control the equilibrium of the agricultural markets; whereas in order to simplify the administrative implementation of the automatic dismantlement arrangements, the coefficient reducing agricultural prices should not be applied to amounts fixed in ecus which, by their nature or value, have no significant or direct effect on production, such as amounts fixed within the framework of the agricultural structural policy, amounts relating to storage costs and technical or administrative amounts;
