COMMISSION DECISION
of 6 March 1986
amending Decision 85/634/EEC authorizing certain Member States to provide for derogations from certain provisions of Council Directive 77/93/EEC in respect of oak wood originating in Canada or the United States of America
(Only the French, Dutch, Danish, German and Italian texts are authentic)
(86/114/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Member States of organisms harmful to plants or plant products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (2), and in particular Article 14 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the requests made by Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands,
Whereas under the provisions of Directive 77/93/EEC, oak wood with bark attached, originating in North America, may in principle not be introduced into the Community because of the risk of introducing Ceratocystis fagacearum, the cause of oak wilt;
Whereas, however, Article 14 (3) of the abovementioned Directive permits derogations from that rule, provided that it is established that there is no risk of spreading harmful organisms;
Whereas by Commission Decision 85/634/EEC (3), the Commission granted such derogations under revised conditions in respect of oak logs originating in Canada or the United States of America;
Whereas that Decision stipulated that the revised conditions should become mandatory by 1 January 1986 at the latest;
Whereas it has been established that late publication of the Decision in the Official Journal of the European Communities has caused difficulties to the factual publicizing of the conditions to all circles concerned in the Community as well as in Canada and the United States of America;
Whereas it has also been established that these difficulties have delayed the setting up of the necessary administrative and technical arrangements, in particular in respect of fumigation facilities and related structures;
Whereas therefore the aforementioned date of 1 January 1986 should be replaced by a later date;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
1. In Article 6 of Decision 85/634/EEC, '1 January 1986' is hereby replaced by '15 March 1986'.
2. Until that date, the Member States concerned shall make use of the provisions laid down in Article 1 (2) (d), third indent of Decision 85/634/EEC.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the French Republic, the Italian Republic, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

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 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3). 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 22,624 EUR/100 kg.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 3 March 2006.
