COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 869/2007
of 23 July 2007
on the release of securities linked to the import rights within certain import tariff quotas in the beef sector by reason of the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular of Article 41 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Until 31 December 2006, imports in the Community of certain live bovine animals within import tariff quotas opened with Bulgaria or Romania on a multi-annual basis by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1217/2005 of 28 July 2005 laying down detailed rules for the application of a tariff quota for certain live bovine animals originating in Bulgaria, provided for in Council Decision 2003/286/EC (1) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1241/2005 of 29 July 2005 laying down detailed rules for the application of a tariff quota for certain live bovine animals originating in Romania, provided for in Council Decision 2003/18/EC (2), were subject to the allocation of import rights managed through import licences. As of 1 January 2007, those import licences could no longer be used for such trade.
(2)
Certain import rights granted in July 2006 and valid normally until 30 June 2007 have not been used at all or have been used only partially. Failure to fulfil the commitments made in connection with those import rights should result in the forfeiture of the security lodged. Given that such commitments can no longer be fulfilled after the accession of Bulgaria and Romania, it is necessary to adopt, with effect from the date of accession of those two countries, a measure providing for the release of the securities related to the import rights within those import tariff quotas.
(3)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. At the request of the interested parties, the securities related to import rights lodged in application of Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2005 and of Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1241/2005 shall be released, under the following conditions:
(a)
the applicant has applied for and obtained import rights under the quota:
(i)
referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2005, or
(ii)
referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1241/2005;
(b)
the import rights have been used only partially or not at all by 1 January 2007.
2. The securities referred to in paragraph 1 shall be released proportionally to the import rights which have not been used by 1 January 2007.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1759/88 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3934/92 (4), provides that import licences applied for in respect of the products in question shall be issued by the Member States on the fifth working day following that on which the application is lodged; whereas experience shows that this provision is likely to cause delays in the issue of such import licences, prejudicial to the smooth performance of business transactions; whereas it is therefore preferable that the Member States be able to issue import licences upon receipt of the communication from the Commission;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Articles 8 and 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 1759/88, the first subparagraph of paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
'2. Upon receipt of the communication from the Commission, the Member States may issue the import licences'.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 181/2004
of 30 January 2004
determining the world market price for unginned cotton
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1486/2002(4). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 31,905/100 kg.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 31 January 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
