COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1692/2002

of 25 September 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)

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), as amended by Regulation
(EC) No 1486/2002 (4). 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
European
recorded on one or more
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 24,109/100 kg.

This Regulation shall enter into force on 26 September 2002.

Article 2

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

COMMISSION DECISION

of 25 September 2002

(notified under document number C(2002) 3538)

(Only the Spanish text is authentic)

(2002/766/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June
1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), as last amended
by Decision 2001/572/EC (2), and in particular Article 3(3)
thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Outbreaks of classical swine fever occurred in Spain in
1997. The emergence of this disease represents a serious
risk to the Community's pig population.

(2) With a view to helping to eradicate the disease as rapidly
as possible, the Community may contribute financially
to eligible expenditure borne by the Member State, as
provided for in Decision 90/424/EEC.

(3)

(4)

(5)

(6)

On 2 June 1998, Spain submitted an initial application
for reimbursement of all the expenditure incurred on its
territory in 1997, followed by successive clarifications.

Under Commission Decisions 98/63/EC (3) and 98/649/
EC (4) on financial aid from the Community for the eradi-
cation of classical swine fever in Spain, two advances to
an amount of EUR 7 million have already been paid.

The total amount of Community aid for the eradication
of classical swine fever in Spain in 1997 must be set.

The results of the checks carried out by the Commission
with regard to the observance of Community veterinary
rules and the conditions for benefiting from Community

financial support mean that not all
the expenditure
submitted can be considered eligible. These observations
have been confirmed in a Court of Auditors report (5).

The Commission's observations and the method for
calculating the eligible expenditure were communicated
to the Spanish authorities and confirmed in a letter dated
19 March 2002.

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accor-
dance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on
the Food Chain and Animal Health,

(7)

(8)

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The total amount of Community aid for the eradication of clas-
sical swine fever in Spain in 1997 is EUR 9 031 959.

The balance of the above amount, i.e. EUR 2 031 959, shall be
paid to Spain.

This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain.
