Commission Regulation (EC) No 252/2003
of 10 February 2003
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),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
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(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1486/2002(4). 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 EUR 25,659/100 kg.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 February 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1581/96 (2), and in particular Article 20d(3) and (4) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 94/98 (3) opens the possibility of concluding olive oil storage contracts in Italy and Greece; whereas it has been established that market prices in Spain and Portugal, at the production stage and primarily for the quality of olive oil which is of greatest importance in terms of the prices of most of the olive oils consumed in the Community, are close to the intervention prices; whereas, as a result, the conditions provided for in Regulation No 136/66/EEC and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 314/88 (4) are also met in those Member States; whereas, as a result, the conclusion of storage contracts for this marketing year should also be permitted in Spain and Portugal;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 94/98 is hereby replaced by the following:

COMMISSION DECISION of 23 July 1997 calling on the Kingdom of the Netherlands to withdraw certain provisions on labelling from its draft regulations on spreadable fats (Only the Dutch text is authentic) (Text with EEA relevance) (97/578/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 79/112/EEC of 18 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs for sale to the ultimate consumer (1), as last amended by Directive 97/4/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), and in particular Articles 16 and 17 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with the procedure provided for by Article 16 (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC, the Netherlands authorities have notified the Commission that they intend to adopt a draft order on spreadable fats;
Whereas Article 3 (1) of this draft lays down the minimum and maximum contents of vitamins A and D to be added and paragraph 2 of the same Article stipulates that if the spreadable fats do not contain the nutrients referred to in paragraph 1 or contain a different quantity thereof this must be indicated on the label;
Whereas the draft was discussed with the other Member States at the meeting of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs on 27 February 1997;
Whereas imposition of further details on the label, going beyond those already provided for in Directive 79/112/EEC, is not necessary in order to keep the consumer informed of the exact composition of the products concerned;
Whereas this conclusion has led the Commission to issue a negative opinion, as provided for by the second subparagraph of Article 16 (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC;
Whereas unilateral imposition of such an obligation by the Netherlands authorities would create new barriers to the free movement of foodstuffs;
Whereas the Netherlands authorities must therefore be asked to withdraw this provision on labelling from the draft order on spreadable fats;
Whereas the measures provided for by this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The Kingdom of the Netherlands is called on to withdraw from its draft order on spreadable fats the provisions of Article 3 (2) requiring specific indication on the labelling for products containing no vitamin A and D or containing a quantity different from the quantity specified in Article 3 (1).
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

(1)
Directive 2002/56/EC provides that, with effect from certain dates, Member States may no longer determine for themselves the equivalence of seed potatoes harvested in third countries with seed potatoes harvested within the Community and complying with that Directive.
