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),

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 19,450 EUR/100 kg.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 August 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1292/2009
of 21 December 2009
derogating from Regulations (EC) No 675/2009, (EC) No 676/2009 and (EC) No 677/2009 relating to the opening of invitations to tender for the reduction in the duty on sorghum imported into Spain, the reduction in the duty on maize imported into Spain, and the reduction in the duty of maize imported into Portugal from third countries, regarding the closing date of the invitations to tender
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 144 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Regulations (EC) No 675/2009 (2), (EC) No 676/2009 (3) and (EC) No 677/2009 (4) opened invitations to tender for the reduction in the duty referred to in Article 136 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 on sorghum imported into Spain, maize imported into Spain, and maize imported into Portugal, respectively.
(2)
Between the date of the opening of the invitations to tender and 17 November 2009 the quantity of maize imported into Spain which can be classified as part of the reduced import duty quota, less the quantities of cereal substitutes referred to in Article 2(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1296/2008 of 18 December 2008 laying down the detailed rules for the application of tariff quotas for imports of maize and sorghum into Spain and imports of maize into Portugal (5), covers only 13 % of the quota. The quantity of sorghum imported into Spain which can be classified as part of the reduced import duty quota is negligible. The quantity of maize imported into Portugal which can be classified as part of the reduced import duty quota covers only 13 % of the quota. In view of the market conditions in Spain and Portugal, opening invitations to tender until 17 December 2009 is not likely to enable sufficient quantities to cover the quotas to be imported.
(3)
Therefore the invitations to tender for the reduction in the duty on maize and sorghum imported into Spain and maize imported into Portugal should be extended until the end of May 2010 to enable import quotas to be fully used up.
(4)
The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1

Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall expire on 28 May 2010.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
