COMMISSION DECISION of 8 September 1997 on the temporary suspension of imports of pistachios and certain products derived from pistachios originating in or consigned from Iran (Text with EEA relevance) (97/613/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 93/43/EEC of 14 June 1993 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas pistachios originating in or consigned from Iran are in many cases contaminated with excessive levels of Aflatoxin B1;
Whereas the Scientific Committee for Food has noted that Aflatoxin B1, even at extremely low doses, causes cancer of the liver and in addition it is genotoxic;
Whereas this constitutes a serious threat to public health within the Community and it is imperative to adopt urgently protective measures at Community level;
Whereas, in the absence, at this time, of sanitary guarantees from the Iranian authorities, it is necessary to suspend imports of pistachios and certain products derived from pistachios originating in or consigned from Iran;
Whereas this measure has to be limited initially to a short period, and shall be reexamined during this period, in order to verify with the Iranian authorities, whether they are in a position to offer, in the future, guarantees permitting the replacement of the suspension of imports with the establishment of special conditions, in accordance with Article 10, paragraph 1, second indent of Directive 93/43/EEC;
Whereas it is necessary to submit for systematic analyses lots of pistachios originating in or consigned from third countries other than Iran, in order to determine if these are also contaminated with Aflatoxin B1 and require safeguard measures; whereas co-ordinated official control programmes for foodstuffs shall be completed to this end;
Whereas Member States have been consulted,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Member States shall suspend imports of:
- pistachios falling within CN code 0802 50 00,
- roasted pistachios falling within CN codes 2008 19 13 and 2008 19 93
originating in or consigned from Iran.
Article 2
The present decision shall be re-examined:
- within one month,
- and, if necessary, again after two months
from the adoption of the present decision, in order to verify whether special conditions for imports of the goods referred to in Article 1, can replace the temporary suspension of imports maintaining the protection of public health within the Community.
Article 3
Member States shall amend the measures concerning imports necessary to comply with this Decision. They shall inform the Commission thereof.
Article 4
This Decision is applicable until 15 December 1997.

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). 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,
