Commission Regulation (EC) No 2212/2001
of 15 November 2001
fixing a percentage for acceptance of contracts concluded for the optional distillation of table wine and suspending the notification of new contracts for the optional distillation of table wine
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2047/2001(2), and in particular Article 63(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 63 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 lays down the conditions for the application of the distillation arrangements for wines referred to in Article 29 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2826/2000(4). Those arrangements provide for subsidised, voluntary distillation in order to support the wine market and help ensure continued supplies to the potable alcohol sector, which traditionally uses this type of alcohol. To that end, wine producers and distillers conclude contracts, which the Member States notify to the Commission twice a month.
(2) Article 63(6) lays down the conditions under which the Commission must intervene in the contract-approval procedure, setting a single percentage for acceptance of contracts concluded for distillation and/or suspending the notification of new contracts, notably where the available budgetary resources or the absorption capacity of the potable alcohol sector are exceeded or may be exceeded.
(3) For the 2001/02 wine year the Commission has, for budgetary reasons and bearing in mind the absorption capacity of the potable alcohol sector, set a limit of 7 million hl of table wine for the first tranche of contracts. On the basis of the quantities of wine for which the Member States notified new distillation contracts to the Commission on 5 November 2001, the Commission notes that that limit has been exceeded. The Commission should therefore set a single percentage for acceptance of the quantities notified for distillation and suspend the notification of new contracts until a second distillation period is opened, the starting date for which will depend on the evolution of the alcohol market and available budget resources,
1. Contracts concluded and notified to the Commission under Article 63(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 on 5 November 2001 shall be accepted for 49,2 % of the wine covered.
2. Notification to the Commission of new contracts under Article 63(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 is suspended until a second distillation period is opened.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 1183/86 provides that, for the period from 1 March to 31 December 1986, a levy is to be applied to imports into Spain of products subject to the price control system and to soya oil produced from imported beans and released for consumption; whereas that levy is to be fixed on the basis of the difference between, on the one hand, the average price of soya oil in Spain during the 1984/85 marketing year and, on the other hand, the price of that oil on the world market, plus the duty charged in Spain on imports from third countries;
Whereas that levy should be as fixed hereinafter,
The levy referred to in Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 1183/86 shall be 464,87 ECU per tonne of oil for August 1986.

Whereas this Decision applies without prejudice to measures taken for poultrymeat imported for other purposes than human consumption;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Member States shall authorize the import of fresh poultry-meat from Switzerland, provided that it meets the requirements of the animal health certificate set out in the Annex and that it is accompanied by such a certificate, duly completed and signed.

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 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 26,097/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 17 December 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
