Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81 of 27 July 1981 laying down the general rules for the system of aid for cotton (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 791/89 (5), and in particular Article 9 (1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (6),
Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1964/87, a maximum guaranteed quantity of cotton is to be determined annually in the light of production during a reference period and the foreseeable trend of demand;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 9 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81, the Council is to fix a minimum price for unginned cotton each year at a level enabling producers to sell at a price as close as possible to the guide price; whereas that price must take  account of market fluctuations and the cost of transporting the unginned cotton from the production
areas to the ginning areas; whereas that price must be fixed for the quality to which the guide price relates and must apply at the farm gate;
Whereas application of the abovementioned criteria results in the fixing of the maximum guaranteed quantity and the minimum price at the levels given below,
For the 1991/92 marketing year, the maximum guaranteed quantity of cotton provided for in Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1964/87 shall be 752 000 tonnes.
