Commission Regulation (EC) No 1287/2002

of 15 July 2002

amending Annex 3 to Regulation (EC) No 560/2002 imposing provisional safeguard measures against imports of certain steel products

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3285/94 of 22 December 1994 on common rules for imports and repealing Regulation (EC) No 518/94(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2474/2000(2),

After consultations with the Advisory Committee established pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 3285/94 and Regulation (EC) No 519/94 respectively,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 560/2002(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 950/2002(6), establishes tariff quotas in relation to certain steel products, in excess of which additional duties require to be paid. The Commission recalls that the amount of each tariff quota is specified in Annex 3 to that Regulation, and that that amount should have been calculated in a manner conforming to recitals 66 and 73 of that Regulation.

(2) It has come to the attention of the Commission that there has been a material error in the calculation of the amount of the tariff quota in relation to product numbers 5 (cold rolled sheets), 6 (electrical sheets other than GOES) and 10 (quarto plates). In each case, the amount of the tariff quota should have been greater than the amount which was specified.

(3) The amount of the tariff quota for product 5 should be 1114158 tonnes instead of 935630 tonnes; that for product 6 should be 74678 tonnes instead of 41444 tonnes; and that for product 10 should be 706964 tonnes instead of 700446 tonnes. In consequence, it is necessary to amend Annex 3 to that Regulation,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The fourth column of Annex 3 to Regulation (EC) No 560/2002, which specifies the amount (in tonnes) of each tariff quota, is amended as follows:

- in relation to product 5, by substituting the number "1114158" for "935630",

- in relation to product 6, by substituting the number "74678" for "41444",

- in relation to product 10, by substituting the number "706964" for "700446".

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply from 29 March 2002.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

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),

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,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
