Commission Regulation (EC) No 677/2003
of 14 April 2003
establishing emergency measures for the recovery of the cod stock in the Baltic Sea
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy(1) and in particular Article 7(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The International Baltic Sea Fishery Commission at its annual meeting in September 2002 recommended a number of technical measures to minimise the catch of under-sized cod with the overall aim of rebuilding the cod stocks in the Baltic Sea. These measures were implemented by Council Regulation (EC) No 2341/2002 of 20 December 2002 fixing for 2003 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Community waters and, for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required(2).
(2) During the period of application of these measures, further scientific work has been completed and practical experience has been gained which imply that the measures adopted for the trawl fisheries for cod and flatfish do not have the effect foreseen and cod below the minimum size is caught and discarded to an extent that will reduce the cod stock.
(3) Current fishing practice constitutes a serious threat to the conservation and the rebuilding of the cod stocks in the Baltic Sea and requires immediate action. It is therefore appropriate for the Commission to take, on its own initiative, emergency measures to protect the incoming year-classes of cod in the Baltic. These measures should apply from 15 April 2003 until 31 May 2003 in addition to the ban on fishing for cod between 1 June and 31 August laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2341/2002,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Fishing for cod with trawls, Danish seines and similar nets shall be prohibited from 15 April to 31 May 2003 for Community fishing vessels in ICES Division III b, c and d and fishing vessels flying the flag of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in the Community waters of ICES Division III b, c and d.
Fishing for flatfish with trawls, Danish seines and similar nets shall be prohibited from 15 April to 31 May 2003 for Community fishing vessels in ICES Division III b, c and d.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 15 April 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/33/EEC of 28 April 1992 on the marketing of vegetable propagating and planting material other than seed (1), as last amended by Decision 95/25/EC (2), and in particular Article 20 (2) thereof,
Whereas under this Directive trials, or, where appropriate, tests shall be carried out in the Member States on samples to check that vegetable propagating or planting material other than seed listed therein comply with the requirements and conditions of the said Directive;

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.

The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
