Whereas pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1554/95 the world market price for ginned cotton is determined for a product meeting certain characteristics and by using the most favourable offers and quotations of those considered representative of the real market trend; whereas for this purpose an average is to be established of the offers and quotations on one or more European exchanges for deliveries cif to north European ports of cotton from the various supplier countries considered most representative as regards international trade; whereas these rules for determination of the world market price for ginned cotton provide for adjustment to reflect differences in product quality and the nature of offers and quotations; whereas these adjustments are specified in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1201/89;
