Commission Regulation (EC) No 196/2003

of 31 January 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 25,533/100 kg.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 February 2003.

amending Regulation (EC) No 1940/2001 on the opening of a standing invitation to tender for the resale on the Community internal market of some 39000 tonnes of rice held by the Italian intervention agency for use in animal feed

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(2), and in particular Article 8(b) thereof,

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 75/91 of 11 January 1991 laying down the procedures and conditions for the disposal of paddy rice held by the intervention agencies(3) lays down the procedures and conditions for such disposals.

(2) The current invitation to tender under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1940/2001(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2089/2002(5), has almost completely disposed of the quantity initially authorised for sale by the intervention agency. Italy still has intervention stocks of paddy rice from harvests earlier than 1999, the quality of which is in danger of deteriorating if kept in prolonged storage. The quantities initially planned for this invitation to tender should therefore be increased by authorising the sale of this at-risk quantity.

(3) 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

Regulation (EC) No 1940/2001 is hereby amended as follows:

1. Article 1 is replaced by the following text:

"Article 1

The Italian intervention agency shall offer for sale by standing invitation to tender on the Community internal market some 39000 tonnes of rice as referred to in Annex I from the 1997 and 1998 harvests and an additional quantity of some 20000 tonnes referred to in Annex Ia from the 1998 harvest, for use in preparations of a kind used in animal feeding (CN code 2309 )."
