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). 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 21,764/100 kg.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 22 December 2001.

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

derogating from Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 laying down special detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 as regards export licences and export refunds in the case of milk and milk products

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1670/2000(2), and in particular Article 31(14) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2298/2001(4), fixes the period of validity of export licences.

To ensure compliance with the provisions of the agreement in that respect, the period of validity of the licences concerned should be shortened so that, when the agreement enters into force, licences issued with advance fixing of the refund having Switzerland as their destination are no longer valid.

(2) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Notwithstanding Article 6(c) of Regulation (EC) No 174/1999, export licences with advance fixing of the refund for products falling within CN code 0406, having Switzerland as their destination, shall be valid until the end of the month following that of issue.

(2) In order to ensure uniform application throughout the Community of the rules for granting the aid within the meaning of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71, Regulation (EC) No 1529/2000 should be amended taking as a reference the list of varieties of flax and hemp grown for fibre eligible for the support system for producers of certain arable crops as set out in Annex XII to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999(7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1157/2001(8).

amending Regulation (EC) No 708/98 on the taking over of paddy rice by the intervention agencies and fixing the corrective amounts and the price increases and reductions to be applied

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

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 Regulation (EC) No 1667/2000(2), and in particular Article 8(b) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The conditions for the taking over of paddy rice by the intervention agencies are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 708/98(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 691/1999(4). Article 2 of that Regulation lays down the conditions under which rice may be accepted for intervention and Article 3 lays down the criteria for applying price increases and reductions, in particular as regards the yield after processing.

(2) Experience in recent marketing years has shown that yields after processing of rice offered for intervention are generally above the basic yields listed in Part B of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 708/98.

(3) In order to strengthen the role of intervention as a safety net and to encourage the production of high-quality rice, the intervention criteria should be tightened up.

(4) Adjustment of the yields after processing listed in Part B of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 708/98, together with a reduction in the current price increases and a reduction in the tolerances for divergence from the basic yield, would appear to be the most effective ways of promoting the production of high-quality rice and, at the same time, ensuring the high quality of rice stored by the intervention agencies.

(5) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 708/98 is hereby amended as follows:

1. The second indent of Article 2(2) is replaced by:

"- the yield after processing is not less than 7 points below the basic yields listed in Part B of Annex II,".

2. Annex II is replaced by the Annex hereto.

Article 2

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