Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas Article 12 (3) (d) of Directive 77/388/EEC (3) lays down that the rules concerning the taxation of agricultural outputs other than those falling within category 1 of Annex H are to be decided unanimously by the Council before 31 December 1994 on a proposal from the Commission; whereas, until that date, those Member States which had already been applying a reduced rate might continue to do so while those applying a standard rate could not apply a reduced rate; whereas that allowed a two-year postponement in the application of the standard rate;
Whereas experience has shown that the structural imbalance in the VAT rates applicable by Member States to agricultural outputs of the floricultural and horticultural sectors has led to reported cases of fraudulent activities; whereas that structural imbalance is a direct result of the application of Article 12 (3) (d) and should be redressed accordingly;
Whereas the most appropriate solution would be to extend to all Member States, on a transitional basis, the option of applying a reduced rate to supplies of agricultural outputs of the floricultural and horticultural sectors and of wood used as firewood,
Directive 77/388/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 12 (3) (d) shall be deleted;
2. the following shall be inserted in Article 28 (2):
'(i) Member States may apply a reduced rate to supplies of live plants (including bulbs, roots and the like, cut flowers and ornamental foliage) and wood for use as firewood.`
Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the provisions of domestic law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall apply from 1 January 1995.

Whereas the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Tunisia, of the other part (3), enters into force on 1 March 1998; whereas this agreement provides that certain products originating in Tunisia can benefit from tariff concessions within the framework of reference quantities, when imported into the Community and are subject to a Community statistical surveillance; whereas the agreement provides that the volumes of the reference quantities for these products are increased, between 1 January 1997 and 1 January 2000, in four yearly and equal steps, representing 3 % of these volumes; whereas the increases provided by the agreement for implementation in 1997 could not take place because of the entry into force of the agreement on 1 March 1998 and, consequently, the volumes of the reference quantities applicable in 1998 take account of two increases; whereas the new agreement provides a tariff concession for new potatoes from 1 January to 31 March, in the framework of a community tariff quota, but due to the entry into force of the agreement on 1 March 1998, it seems desirable to maintain for January and February 1998 the current concession for these products in the framework of a reference quantity;
Whereas, as a means of implementing the new concessions provided in the above mentioned agreement, Regulation (EC) No 934/95 should be amended; whereas, for all the products listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 934/95, this amendment must also take account of the necessary technical adjustments resulting from amendments of the Combined Nomenclature and of TARIC subdivisions;

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), 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 31,982/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 December 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
