COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2963/91 of 9 October 1991 fixing definitively the aid for cotton applicable from 1 May to 23 September 1991 for the 1991/92 marketing year

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular paragraphs 3 and 10 of Protocol 4 on cotton, as amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Protocol 14 annexed thereto, and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4006/87 (1),

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81 of 27 July 1981 laying down the general rules for the system of aid for cotton (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 791/89 (3), and in particular Article 5 (1) thereof,

Having regard to the opinion of the Monetary Committee,

Whereas, in the absence of a Regulation fixing the reduction in the aid resulting, where applicable, from the system of maximum guaranteed quantities for the 1991/92 marketing year, the aid for May to August 1991 has been calculated using a provisional reduction as a basis;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2606/91 (4) fixes the reduction in the aid for the 1991/92 marketing year;

Whereas certain of those provisional amounts of aid were fixed taking account of the guide price proposed by the Commission to the Council for the 1991/92 marketing year; whereas those amounts, fixed subject to decisions by the Council, needed to be so fixed owing to the absence of a regulation fixing the guide price for the 1991/92 marketing year; whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1730/91 (5) fixes the guide price for cotton for the 1991/92 marketing year;

Whereas the amounts of aid applicable from 1 May to 23 September 1991 were fixed taking account of the costs determined respectively in Articles 1 (2) and 2 (2) (a) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1201/89 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2756/91 (7), of ginning the cotton and transporting the ginned cotton to Piraeus; whereas those amounts were amended by the latter Regulation;

Whereas the amounts of aid applying provisionally for cotton should accordingly be replaced and they should be fixed definitvely,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
