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 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.
(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 17,971 EUR/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 February 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas the Community Directives concerned will be amended in order to permit the production and fitting of such stop lamps;
Whereas the measure provided for by this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Adaptation to Technical Progress set up by Directive 70/156/EEC,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 509/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999 of 16 December 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards intervention on the market in butter and cream(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 359/2003(4), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999 lays down that buying-in by invitation to tender is to be opened or suspended by the Commission in a Member State, as appropriate, once it is observed that, for two weeks in succession, the market price in that Member State is below or equal to or above 92 % of the intervention price.

This list must be adjusted as a result of the market prices communicated by Sweden under Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999. In the interests of clarity, the list in question should be replaced and Regulation (EC) No 521/2003 should be repealed,

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 238/2013
of 15 March 2013
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 481/2012 as regards the validity of certificates of authenticity for high-quality beef
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1) and in particular Article 144(1) and Article 148 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 481/2012 of 7 June 2012 laying down rules for the management of a tariff quota for high-quality beef (2) changed the management method of the quota opened by Council Regulation (EC) No 617/2009 (3) from the simultaneous examination method to the first-come, first-served management method. As in the framework of the first-come, first-served management method of that quota there are no longer import licences with validity limited to 30 June of each importing year, it is therefore opportune to drop the validity limit of 30 June for the certificates of authenticity. Instead, a period of three months from the date of issue of those certificates should be established which is in line with other high-quality beef tariff quotas.
(2) For reasons of clarity, it is necessary to indicate, in the requirements for goods to benefit from the preferential tariff quota concerned, as set out in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 481/2012, the bovine animals covered by the Union carcass classification and thus eligible for producing ‘high quality beef’.
(3) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 481/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) For reasons of legal certainty, the new period of validity of certificates of authenticity should not apply to certificates of authenticity issued before the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 481/2012 is amended as follows:
(1) in Article 3, paragraph 7 is replaced by the following:
(2) in Annex II, footnote 1 is replaced by the following:
‘(1) For the purposes of these requirements, heifers and steers are “bovine animals”, as defined in point 1 of Part IV of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, which correspond, respectively, to categories E and C, as defined in Part A of Annex V to that Regulation.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply to certificates of authenticity issued from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 provides that quality standards may be established for products to be delivered fresh to the consumer and lists in Annex I thereto the products covered by such quality standards;
Whereas leeks are the subject of large-scale trade in some producer Member States and of appreciable trade on a Community level;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to apply to this product all the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 and in particular to lay down common quality standards ; whereas to this end the said product should be added to the list in Annex I to that Regulation,
In Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 the entry "leeks" shall be added under the column "Vegetables".

(2) Application of Articles 3 and 7 of the ACP Protocol, Articles 3 and 7 of the Agreement with India and Articles 11 and 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003 has resulted in the Commission setting delivery obligations for 2006/07 taking account, on the basis of the information currently available, of the difference between the amount of such delivery obligations and the quantities actually imported during past delivery periods.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The delivery obligations for imports originating in the countries that are signatories to the ACP Protocol and to the Agreement with India in respect of products falling within CN code 1701, expressed in white-sugar equivalent, in the 2006/07 delivery period for each exporting country concerned, are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex hereto.
