THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas, following a special review of, inter alia, the most reliable statistical data concerning the actual level of milk production in Italy, Greece and Spain, the Council decided to increase the total quantities fixed in Article 3 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 of 28 December 1992 establishing an additional levy in the milk and milk products sector (3), in the case of Spain from the period 1993/94 and, in the case of Greece and Italy, for the periods 1993/94 and 1994/95; whereas the Council agreed, at its meeting on 21 October 1994, to extend this increase, for the same reasons, to the 1991/92 and 1992/93 marketing years; whereas the consequences to be drawn therefrom for the clearance of accounts for 1992 and 1993 make it necessary to extend the aforementioned increase to the periods 1991/92 and 1992/93;
Whereas, furthermore, the Council had agreed to provide Community finance for the implementation of programmes for the cessation of milk production in order to ensure compliance with the additional levy arrangements in Italy and Spain; whereas it is appropriate that the agreements reached in this respect be given legal form,
For the establishment of the financial corrections relating to the clearance of accounts for 1992 and 1993 borne by Greece, Spain and Italy in respect of the additional levy in the milk and milk products sector, the total quantities to be taken into consideration for the periods from 1 April 1991 to 31 March 1992 and from 1 April 1992 to 31 March 1993 shall be those laid down in Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92.
From the funds which are due to the Community from Italy and Spain regarding additional levies in the sector of milk and milk products, under the financial years of 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993, a maximum quantity of:
- 202 000 tonnes in Italy,
- 287 430 tonnes in Spain;
shall be financed under national programmes for the cessation of milk production.
The indemnity cannot exceed a maximum amount of ECU 51 per 100 kilograms of the released individual reference quantity.
The financing of the payments made shall be regarded as an intervention intended to stabilize the agricultural markets, within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 (4).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
However, Article 2 shall apply from 1 April 1993.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

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). 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 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.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 21,890/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 December 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
