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 laying down detailed rules for applying the
cotton aid scheme (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,
for unginned
the world market price

the

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 countries considered the most representative in
terms of international 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 quotations concerned. Those adjustments
are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No
1591/2001.

The application of the above criteria gives the world
