THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 83/91/EEC (2), and in particular Articles 4 (1), 16 and 18 (1) (a) and (b) thereof,
Whereas a list of establishments in New Zealand, approved for the purpose of importing fresh meat into the Community, was drawn up initially by Commission Decision 83/402/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 83/499/EEC (4);
Whereas a routine inspection under Article 5 of Directive 72/462/EEC and Article 3 (1) of Commission Decision 83/196/EEC of 8 April 1983 concerning on-the-spot inspections to be carried out in respect of the importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from non-member countries (5) has revealed that the level of hygiene of certain establishments has altered since the last inspection; whereas, consequently, it is advisable to inscribe or maintain certain of those establishments on the said list and in respect of another establishment, for reasons of hygiene, to take special measures regarding entry into the Community of meat which has been stored therein;

Whereas in order to take account of the existing import arrangements in the cereals sector and those resulting from the Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, transitional measures are needed to adjust the preferential concessions in the form of exemption from the import levy on certain cereal products from the ACP States and the OCT;
Whereas the period for the adoption of transitional measures was extended until 30 June 1998 by Regulation (EC) No 1161/97; whereas, pending the adoption by the Council of definitive measures, application of the measures provided for by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 865/90 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1226/96 (4), should be extended until 30 June 1998;

(Only the Italian text is authentic)
(90/123/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 857/84 of 31 March 1984 adopting general rules for the application of the levy referred to in Article 5c of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3880/89 (2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 3b (1) thereof,
Whereas the abovementioned provision stipulates that Member States are to notify to the Commission their draft national measures for the implementation of the said Article 3b and that these must first be approved by the Commission;
Whereas the draft measures notified by Italy on 8 February 1990 should be approved,

COMMISSION DECISION of 6 October 1994 amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 571/88 as regards Community surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings in the period 1995 to 1997 (94/677/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 571/88 of 29 February 1988 on the organization of Community surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings between 1988 and 1997 (1), as last amended by Commission Decision 93/156/EEC (2), and in particular Article 8 (1) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 on introducing support measures for the producers of certain agricultural crops (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 232/94 (4), provides for compensatory payments to be made to the producers of certain agricultural crops; whereas only those producers who have set aside a fixed percentage of their arable land have a claim to such payments; whereas those provisions thus create new forms of land use, in that agricultural utilization is linked with legal status, depending on whether or not the land qualifies for the aid;
Whereas the structure of agricultural holdings has a major influence on farmers' potential income, so that the effects of the new common agricultural policy measures on land use, production and economic potential of agricultural holdings need to be monitored;
Whereas the Community surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 571/88 for the period 1988 to 1997 are the most appropriate means of monitoring and analysing trends in statistical terms by relating the arable land set aside to other structural characteristics such as the age of the holder, the type of farming and holding size, the other crops and the number of livestock;
Whereas it is necessary, in view of the increasing demand for environmental information, to record set-aside arable land on the basis of an appropriate and harmonized classification, binding on all Member States, in order to obtain statistical information which is comparable between Member States and over time; whereas it is therefore appropriate to add to the list of characteristics new survey characteristics concerning the agricultural areas for which farmers have obtained a compensatory payment;
Whereas the general structure of the list of characteristics should not be changed; whereas the areas for which a compensatory payment is granted may therefore need to be recorded both in the category corresponding to their agricultural use and in a separate category;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
For the period 1995 to 1997, Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 571/88 is hereby amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.

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 17,971 EUR/100 kg.
