COMMISSION DECISION
of 22 October 2009
concerning the extension of uses of algal oil from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp. as a novel food ingredient under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(notified under document C(2009) 7933)
(Only the English text is authentic)
(2009/778/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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,
Whereas:
(1) On 14 January 2008 the company Martek Biosciences Corporation made a request to the competent authorities of the United Kingdom for an extension of the uses as novel food ingredient of the oil from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp.
(2) On 4 September 2008 the competent food assessment body of the United Kingdom issued its initial assessment report. In that report it came to the conclusion that the extension of uses of the oil from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp. as a food ingredient was acceptable.
(3) The Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to all Member States on 25 September 2008.
(4) Within the 60-day period laid down in Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 reasoned objections to the marketing of the product were raised in accordance with that provision.
(5) In their objections Member States raised concerns about elevated intake levels of omega-3 fatty acids and in particular DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
(6) However, the main source of omega-3 fatty acids is fish-oil. In the foods of the categories for which the addition oil from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp. was requested omega-3 fatty acids can be provided either from fish oil or alternatively from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp.
(7) Therefore it is not expected that the use of oil from micro-algae in the food groups mentioned in the Annex will lead to an unacceptable increase of the overall intake of omega-3 fatty acids.
(8) The oil from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp. complies with the criteria laid down in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Oil from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp. as specified in Commission Decision 2003/427/EC (2) may be placed on the market in the Community as a novel food ingredient for the uses and at the maximum levels as listed in the Annex.
The designation ‘oil from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp.’ shall be displayed in the list of ingredients of the foodstuffs containing it.
This Decision is addressed to Martek Biosciences Corporation, 6480 Dobbin Road, Columbia, MD 21045, USA.

Whereas:

(2) Council Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003 (4), the rules of which have been taken over by Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, changed the role of the Member States and the Commission in respect of the surplus levy and as a result the Commission is not fully aware of issues arising in levy collection.

determining the world market price for unginned cotton
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

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 22,648/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 7 August 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
