COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1463/2002

of 9 August 2002

on the issue of system B export licences in the fruit and vegetables sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

(3)

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001
of 8 October 2001 on detailed rules for implementing Council
Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit
and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
1176/2002 (2), and in particular Article 6(6) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1110/2002 (3) fixes the
indicative quantities for system B export licences other
than those sought in the context of food aid.

In the light of the information available to the Commis-
sion today, there is a risk that the indicative quantities
laid down for the current export period for table grapes
will shortly be exceeded. This overrun will prejudice the

proper working of the export refund scheme in the fruit
and vegetables sector.

To avoid this situation, applications for system B licences
for table grapes exported after 9 August 2002 should be
rejected until the end of the current export period,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Applications for system B export
licences for table grapes
submitted pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1110/
2002, export declarations for which are accepted after 9 August
2002 and before 17 September 2002, are hereby rejected.

This Regulation shall enter into force on 10 August 2002.

Article 2

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

(Case COMP/M.2728 — ATG/Wallenius Wilhelmsen Lines/ATN Autoterminal Neuss)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2002/C 189/05)

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 29 July 2002 the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
1.
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1310/97 (2),
by which the German undertaking ATG Autotransportlogistik GmbH (ATG), controlled by Deutsche Bahn
AG (the German rail operator), and the Norwegian undertaking Wallenius Wilhelmsen Lines AS (WWL),
acquire, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Regulation, joint control of the German undertaking
ATN Autoterminal Neuss GmbH & Co. KG (ATN) by way of purchase of assets.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— ATG: Logistics, particularly rail transportation of automobiles and related activities,

— WWL: Shipping operations, scheduled shipping services, overland transportation and related activities,

— ATN: Operation of an automobile transfer logistics centre.

3.
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within
the scope of Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant
to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under
Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (3), it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under
the procedure set out in the notice.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1464/2002

of 9 August 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 24,385/100 kg.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 10 August 2002.

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

Notice concerning the countervailing duty and the anti-dumping duty in force in respect of
imports into the Community of polyethylene terephthalate film originating, inter alia, in India:
modification of the address of a company subject to an individual countervailing and anti-dumping
duty rate

(2002/C 189/08)

Imports of polyethylene terephthalate film originating,
in India are subject to a definitive
countervailing duty, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 2597/1999 (1) and a definitive anti-dumping
duty, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001 (2).

inter alia,

Jindal Polyester Limited, a company located in India, whose exports to the Community of polyethylene
terephthalate film are subject to an individual countervailing duty rate of 7,0 % and an individual anti-
dumping duty rate of 0 % by the aforementioned Regulations, has informed the Commission that it has
changed its address to 56 Hanuman Road, New Delhi 110 001, India. The company has asked the
Commission to confirm that the change of address does not affect the right of the company to benefit
from the individual duty rates applied to the company under its previous address.

The Commission has examined the information supplied, which demonstrates that all the company's
activities linked to the manufacturing, sales and exports of polyethylene terephthalate film are unaffected
by the change of address. The Commission therefore concludes that the change of address in no way
affects the findings of Regulations (EC) No 2597/1999 and (EC) No 1676/2001. In view of the absence of
any substantive change of circumstances, the reference to the address of Jindal Polyester Limited, should be
read as 56 Hanuman Road, New Delhi 110 001, India, in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2597/1999
and Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001.

The Taric additional code A030 previously attributed to Jindal Polyester Limited under its former address
shall remain applicable.
