That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(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.

TENTH COUNCIL DIRECTIVE

Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 (2) of the aforementioned Directive, the hiring out of movable tangible property may constitute an economic activity subject to value added tax;
Whereas application of Article 9 (1) of the aforementioned Directive to the hiring out of movable tangible property may lead to substantial distortions of competition where the lessor and the lessee are established in different Member States and the rates of taxation in those States differ;

Whereas, however, as regards the hiring out of forms of transport, Article 9 (1) should, for reasons of control, be strictly applied, the place where the supplier has established his business being treated as the place of supply of such services,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
Directive 77/388/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 9 (2) (d) is deleted;
2. in Article 9 (2) (e) the following indent is added:

2. Member States shall inform the Commission of the provisions which they adopt for the purpose of applying this Directive. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.
