Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81; whereas

Whereas Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2169/ 
81 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2276/ 
87 (3), provides that the aid to be paid is to be that applying 
on the day when the application for aid is made; whereas 
the amount of the aid must be calculated taking account of 
the guide price fixed for the marketing year during which 
the cotton to which the application relates is harvested; 
Whereas Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1964/ 
87 of 2 July 1987 adjusting the system of aid for cotton 
introduced by Protocol No 4 annexed to the Act of 
Accession of Greece (4) provides that where the maximum

the impact on the guide price of a coefficient to be 
established; whereas that coefficient is fixed pursuant to

price applying on that day and that applying on the day 
when the cotton is placed under control'.
