THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 93/43/EEC of 14 June 1993 on the hygiene of foodstuffs(1), and in particular Article 10(1) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Decision 2002/75/EC laying down special conditions on the import from third countries of star anise(2), and in particular recital 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Analyses of consignments of star anise (illicium verum) from certain third countries had revealed the presence of the botanical variety known as Japanese star anise (illicium anisatum), which is scientifically recognised as highly poisonous and therefore not fit for human consumption.
(2) The presence of Japanese star anise had been linked to some cases of food poisoning in the Community.
(3) As a consequence, and in accordance with Article 10 of Directive 93/43/EEC, the Commission adopted Decision 2002/75/EC laying down special conditions on the import from third countries of star anise, in order to ensure that star anise imported from third countries and intended for human consumption does not contain Japanese star anise.
(4) The checks and analyses carried out under the conditions prescribed in Decision 2002/75/EC have not revealed any new cases of contamination, and no cases of poisoning have been reported.
(5) The special conditions attaching to the import of star anise are therefore no longer justified and Commission Decision 2002/75/EC can be repealed.
(6) The Member States have been consulted on the repealing of Decision 2002/75/EC, in accordance with Article 10 of Directive 93/43/EEC,
Decision 2002/75/EC is hereby repealed.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

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.

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 26,157/100 kg.
