(2) Excessive rainfalls have affected Ireland and Northern Ireland in summer 2002. This exceptional situation has resulted in an exceptionally low average yield.

(3) Producers are in severe financial difficulties as a result.

(4) This being the case in Ireland and Northern Ireland and in view of the budgetary situation, Ireland and United Kingdom should be authorised to make, prior to 16 November 2002, advance payments of area aid for cereals and advance payments of set-aside aid for the 2002/2003 marketing year.

(5) In view of the urgent adoption of the measure, this Regulation should enter into force immediately.

(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

2. The advance payment provided for in paragraph 1 may be paid only if, on the day of payment, the producer in question is found to be eligible for it.

3. When calculating the final area payment to the producers who receive the advance provided for in paragraph 1, the competent authority shall take account of:

(a) any reduction in the producer's eligible area;

(b) any advance paid under this Regulation.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1848/2002

of 16 October 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 24,300/100 kg.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 17 October 2002.

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