Commission Regulation (EC) No 2194/2002
of 10 December 2002
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 25,618/100 kg.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 December 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Council Decision
of 28 November 2002
authorising the Greek Government to grant aid to cotton growers in Greece
(2002/972/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 88(2), third subparagraph, thereof,
Having regard to the request made by the Greek Government on 14 October 2002,
Whereas:
(1) In 2001 the Community aid scheme for cotton was amended by the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(1), which henceforth allows Member States to take measures limiting the production of cotton for environmental reasons. This new scheme introduced a stricter co-responsibility mechanism than before. This gave rise to serious problems in applying the scheme, the detailed implementing rules of which are laid down in Commission Regulations (EC) No 1591/2001(2) and (EC) No 1398/2002(3).
(2) The implementation of the new scheme for cotton harvested in 2001, for which yields per hectare were extremely high, has meant that the total cotton production levels for the 2001/2002 marketing year are very high, which has brought about a sharp cut in the compensation paid pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001.
(3) The Greek authorities excluded 206365 tonnes of unginned cotton from the quantity eligible for aid for the period 2001/2002. However, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1398/2002 set the quantity of unginned cotton at 1246839 tonnes. Hence, application of the stabiliser mechanism resulted in a reduction of Community aid.
(4) This reduction in aid consequently affected the incomes of 93405 farmers. Many of these farmers had made considerable investments to meet the environmental requirements and observe good agricultural practice. The loss of income jeopardises the viability of many cotton farms in Greece and could have a very negative social impact in the regions concerned.
(5) In order to offset the reduction in income of the families affected by the application of the stabiliser mechanism, the Greek Government has envisaged granting aid to those cotton producers who have complied with good agricultural practice to meet the environmental requirements. The maximum amount of the aid concerned will not exceed EUR 90000000.
(6) Exceptional circumstances exist, making it possible to consider, by way of derogation and to the extent strictly necessary in order to remedy the situation of imbalance recorded, such aid to be compatible with the common market, on the terms specified in this Decision,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Exceptional aid by the Greek Government in the form of payment for the 2001/2002 marketing year to cotton growers in Greece who have observed good agricultural practices of national compensation totalling not more than EUR 90000000 for the quantities produced recognised by the Commission as eligible for aid under Regulation (EC) No 1398/2002 shall be considered compatible with the common market.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Hellenic Republic.
