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 21,677 EUR/100 kg.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 10 December 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 322/93 of 12 February 1993 fixing for the period 1992/93 certain coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of certain spirituous beverages
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 states that the quantity of cereals on which the refund shall be granted shall be that placed under control weighted by a coefficient, fixed annually for each Member State concerned, expressing the ratio for the spirituous beverage in question between the total quantity exported and the total quantity marketed; whereas, further to information provided by Ireland concerning the period 1 January to 31 December 1991, the coefficients for the period 1 July 1992 to 30 June 1993 should now be fixed;
Whereas the second indent of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 provides for adjustment of the coefficient where foreseeable trends for exports of spirituous beverages show a tendency to change significantly in one of the Member States concerned; whereas such an assessment may be made by taking account of a reference period of sufficient length to eliminate insignificant short-term fluctuations; whereas a period of seven years prior to the year in question seems to comply with this criterion; whereas, moreover, an annual difference of less than 1 % between the respective trends in exports and total quantities sold cannot show a tendency towards significant change;
Whereas the coefficients should be adapted accordingly, to take account of a tendency for Irish exports to decrease;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
For the period 1 July 1992 to 30 June 1993, the coefficients referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 and applicable to cereals used in Ireland for the manufacture of Irish whiskey shall be as shown in the Annex.
