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 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (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 16,658 EUR/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 December 2004.

Whereas it has become clear that sluice-gate prices can be fixed for certain products which until now have figured in the list of derived products;
Whereas the application of the system of pilot and derived products has given rise to certain problems; whereas the additional amounts to which the system can lead, do not correspond in all cases to the market requirements; whereas therefore the application of the system should be limited to a smaller number of products,
Regulation (EEC) No 2767/75 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 2 (3) is replaced by the following:
'3. If more than one pilot product is specified in respect of a derived product, the additional amount for the derived product shall be equal to the highest of the amounts obtained by multiplying the additional amount for each of the pilot products in question by the relevant coefficient.'
