(2)

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.

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 coun-
tries considered the most representative in terms of
international
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

Why is the maximum transmission amplitude for low frequencies (below 6 MHz) just 100 mW in Europe,
whereas the corresponding limit in the United States is 4 W? On what grounds can such a big difference
in the permitted maximum amplitude be justified? Why are low frequencies (generally 2,4 MHz and 5
MHz elsewhere in the world) not commercially exploited at all in the EU?

Answer given by Mr Liikanen on behalf of the Commission

(5 February 2002)

The Honourable Member addresses wireless data communication applications which operate in so-called
licence exempt band.

A decision based on the Commission proposal for a Parliament and Council regulatory framework for
radio spectrum policy is precisely about to enter into force after the Parliament’s second reading on
12 December 2001. This decision will enable to assess, at Community level, the use of radio spectrum
where required for Community policies, to harmonise such use in the Community, in particular through
mandates to the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT), and to
make such harmonisation legally binding upon Member States. The question raised by the Honourable
Member shows the urgent need to put in place such type of mechanism.

The situation in the licence exempt bands, which are used by many systems besides data communications
systems,
is very complex and would require a detailed analysis. Furthermore, comparing regulations
applicable in Europe or recommendations by the CEPT with regulations applicable in other countries such
as the United States would need to take into account the legacy of usage of these bands which may differ
considerably.

A complete assessment of the situation is sent direct to the Honourable Member and to Parliament’s
Secretariat.
