COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1245/2002

of 10 July 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)

(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
European
recorded on one or more
quotations
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 inter-
national 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 quota-
tions 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 herein-
after,

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 24,055/kg.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 July 2002.

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

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2045/02

by Christopher Huhne (ELDR) to the Commission

(10 July 2002)

Subject: Balance sheets

Which Member States produce some sort of estimate of assets and liabilities for each sector of the
economy, including the public sector?

For those Member States that produce such a balance sheet for the public sector, will the Commission give
the latest available figures for assets, liabilities and net worth?

Answer given by Mr Solbes Mira on behalf of the Commission

(9 August 2002)

Under the European System of Accounts (ESA95) transmission programme (1), all Member States are
‘Balance sheets for financial assets and liabilities, consolidated and non-
required to produce sectoral
consolidated’ save for three Member States which have a derogation. The Member States that have this
derogation are Greece, Ireland and Luxembourg (first transmission in 2005).

Some data on financial assets have been made available; those for general government have yet to be
published by Eurostat.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2061/02

by Eluned Morgan (PSE) to the Commission

(11 July 2002)

Subject: Controls on food products

What is the Commission doing to put pressure on Member States to ensure tighter controls on food
products which enter from outside the EU, in particular in relation to meat, in order to ensure we do not
see a recurrence of a disease such as Foot and Mouth?

Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission

(23 September 2002)

With reference to the question raised by the Honourable Member, the Commission wishes to refer to the
provisions of Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection
problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (1), and
Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation
of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (2).

nity,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1081/1999

for the quantities reserved for traditional importers under
the two tariff quotas to be allocated in proportion to
their imports during the period 1 July 1999 to 30 June
2002.

Allocation of
the quantities available to operators
covered by Article 2(3) of that Regulation under the two
tariff quotas is to be in proportion to the quantities
applied for. Since the quantities applied for exceed those
available, a fixed percentage reduction should be set,

Article 1

1.
Every application for the right to import lodged in accor-
dance with Regulation (EC) No 1081/1999 under serial number

72. La Comisión duda de que, en condiciones similares, un
inversor privado hubiera estado dispuesto a conceder a
esta empresa en crisis financiera un préstamo y unas ga-
rantías semejantes.

73. La Comisión también tiene dudas en cuanto al cumpli-
miento de todas las condiciones fijadas en el apartado
3.2.2 de las Directrices comunitarias sobre ayudas estatales
de salvamento y de reestructuración de empresas en crisis
para autorizar la ayuda de reestructuración. En especial, la
Comisión duda de que el plan de viabilidad esté basado en
suposiciones realistas en cuanto a las futuras condiciones
de funcionamiento. Además, las autoridades españolas no
han manifestado que el
inversor vaya a contribuir a la
reestructuración con sus recursos propios, ni de que el
inversor conceda a los competidores de la empresa una
contrapartida consistente en la reducción irreversible de
la capacidad.

74. Habida cuenta de las consideraciones anteriores, la Comi-
sión requiere a España para que, en el plazo de un mes a
partir de la fecha de recepción de la presente carta, aporte
todos los documentos, información y datos necesarios para
evaluar la compatibilidad de la ayuda.

75. La Comisión desea recordar a España el efecto suspensivo
del apartado 3 del artículo 88 del Tratado CE y llama su
el artículo 14 del Reglamento (CE)
atención sobre
no 659/1999, que prevé que toda ayuda concedida ilegal-
mente podrá recuperarse de su beneficiario.

76. La Comisión solicita a sus autoridades que envíen inme-
diatamente una copia de esta carta al posible beneficiario
de la ayuda.’.
