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:

(5)
In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 26 March 1981 amending Directive 78/631/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous preparations (pesticides) (81/187/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 12 of Council Directive 78/631/EEC of 26 June 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous preparations (pesticides) (1), Member States shall bring into force on 1 January 1981 the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with that Directive;
Whereas Article 11 (1) of the said Directive provides that the list of active substances with indications of their conventional LD50 and LC50 values (Annex III) and the revised list of active substances in Annex II thereto shall be drawn up in accordance with the "committee procedure" referred to in Article 21 of Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (2), as last amended by Directive 79/831/EEC (3);
Whereas, when Annex II was being revised and Annex III drawn up, it was ascertained that the number of chemical substances to be considered was considerably greater than envisaged and the study of the various dangerous characteristics of these substances would take longer than had originally been assumed;
Whereas, although work progressed smoothly, it proved impossible to complete it before 1 January 1981;
Whereas, as long as there is no Annex III to Directive 78/631/EEC, the Member States are unable to adopt the measures required to bring into force the entirety of the Directive ; whereas, similarly, as long as the list of active substances contained in Annex II has not been brought up to date, it is not appropriate to require the Member States to adopt the necessary measures to comply with the Directive;
Whereas, therefore, the date on which Member States are required to bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Directive 78/631/EEC must be postponed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof."
