Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients(1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Having regard to the request by AVEBE ba to the competent authorities of the Netherlands of 25 May 2000 for placing coagulated potato protein and hydrolysates thereof on the market as a novel food ingredient,
Having regard to the initial assessment report drawn up by the competent authorities of the Netherlands,
Whereas:
(1) Whilst protein has been extracted from a number of plants to be used in foods, potato protein had not been on the market in the Community before Regulation (EC) No 258/97 entered into force. Therefore, potato protein requires authorisation according to Article 1(2)(e) of the Regulation.
(2) In their initial assessment report the Netherlands' competent food assessment body came to the conclusion that coagulated potato proteins and hydrolysates thereof are safe for human consumption.
(3) The Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to all Member States on 19 February 2001.
(4) Within the 60-days period laid down in Article 6(4) of the Regulation, reasoned objections to the marketing of the product were raised in accordance with that provision concerning, in particular, the use of sulphite as an additive and the specification requirements for certain alkaloids.
(5) AVEBE provided additional information in response to the comments and objections raised by Member States, which was discussed with Member States' experts on 17 July 2001.
(6) On the basis of this additional information and the initial assessment report, it is established that coagulated potato protein and hydrolysates thereof comply with the criteria laid down in Article 3(1) of the Regulation.
(7) The use and the labelling of sulphite is governed by Council Directive 89/107/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning food additives authorised for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption(2) and Directive 95/2/EC of 20 February 1995 of the European Parliament and of the Council on food additives other than colours and sweeteners(3).
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Foodstuffs,
Coagulated potato protein and hydrolysates thereof as specified in the Annex, may be placed on the market in the Community as novel food ingredients.
The designation "potato protein" shall be displayed on the labelling of the product as such or in the list of ingredients of foodstuffs containing it.
This Decision is addressed to AVEBE ba, Prins Hendrikplein 20, 9641 GK Veendam, The Netherlands.
Commission Regulation (EC) No 441/2002
of 8 March 2002
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(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 21,816/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 9 March 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 354/95 of 20 February 1995 amending Regulation (EEC) No 337/75 establishing a European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of 1994, and in particular Article 169 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 337/75 (1) established a European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training;
Whereas the composition of the management board of the abovementioned Centre should be adjusted to take account of the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden,
The first subparagraph of Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 337/75 shall be amended as follows:

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2204/90 laying down additional general rules on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products as regards cheese
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EEC) No 2204/90(3) makes the use of casein and caseinates in the manufacture of cheese subject to prior authorisation and Article 3(3) of that Regulation provides for a Community penalty to apply in the event of unauthorised use which refers in particular to the value of skimmed milk resulting from the intervention price for skimmed-milk powder.
(2) Since the aim of that penalty is to cancel out the economic advantage resulting from unauthorised use, the calculation of the penalty should be based on the market price for skimmed-milk powder, which more faithfully reflects the real cost of skimmed milk as a raw material in the manufacture of cheese,
Article 3(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2204/90 is hereby replaced by the following: "3. Without prejudice to the penalties laid down, or to be laid down, by the Member State concerned, a sum equal to 110 % of the difference between the value of skimmed milk necessary for producing 100 kilograms of caseins and caseinates resulting from the market price for skimmed-milk powder, on the one hand, and the market price for casein and caseinates, on the other hand, shall be due per 100 kilograms for quantities of casein and caseinates used without authorisation.
Those values shall be established in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 42 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(4)."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following 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.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES

Whereas, by letter dated 17 December 1981, Italy has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Beckman - UV-Vis NIR Spectrophotometer, model 5260', ordered 15 June 1978 and to be used for the study of the chemical and physical properties of proteins and enzymes and in particular for the research into proteins and typical compounds containing persulphide and disulphide groups, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 14 May 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a spectrophotometer; whereas its objective technical charactistics such as the resolution and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'JY 201 D' manufactured by Jobin Yvon, 16-18, rue du Canal, F-91163 Longjumeau and to the apparatus 'SP 8-200' and 'SP 8-250' manufactured by Pye Unicam Ltd, York Street, UK-Cambridge,
The apparatus described as 'Beckman - UV-Vis NIR Spectrophotometer, model 5260', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 17 December 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
