COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2336/95 of 26 September 1995 derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops as regards the set-aside requirement for the 1996/97 marketing year
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the support system for producers of certain arable crops introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (2), provides that, in order to qualify for compensatory payments under the general scheme, producers must set aside a predetermined percentage of their arable land; whereas this percentage should be re-examined to take account of production and market developments;
Whereas, since the introduction of the system, the cereals market has achieved a better balance as a result of a reduction in production and an increase in Community consumption; whereas this situation, together with the favourable world market situation, has resulted in a significant reduction in intervention cereal stocks;
Whereas on the basis of a forecast supply balance for 1995/96, it appears that the equilibrium sought between production and internal and external outlets may be maintained whilst increasing Community production by returning to cultivation a certain amount of land that has been set-aside; whereas, in order to achieve this objective in an efficient manner, the two rates for set-aside beginning not later than 15 January 1996 should therefore be set temporarily for the 1996/97 marketing year at a level lower than that resulting from the provisions in force,
1. Notwithstanding the second subparagraph of Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, the set-aside requirement based on rotation is hereby fixed for the 1996/97 marketing year at 10 %.
2. Notwithstanding the third subparagraph of Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, the set-aside requirement for any form of set-aside other than that based on rotation is hereby fixed for the 1996/97 marketing year at 10 %.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to set-aside for the 1996/97 marketing year only.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas, in order to ensure uniform application of the combined nomenclature annexed to the said Regulation, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has set down the general rules for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature and these rules also apply to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivisions to it and which is established by specific Community provisions, with a view to the application of tariff or other measures relating to trade in goods;
Whereas, pursuant to the said general rules, the goods described in column 1 of the table annexed hereto must be classified under the appropriate CN codes indicated in column 2, by virtue of the reasons set out in column 3;

Article 4 of that Regulation lays down the conditions for the payment of advances on the compensatory aid.
(2) The unit amount of advances on the aid, to be determined subsequently for 2000, was set at EUR 17,81 per 100 kilograms in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1157/2000 of 30 May 2000 fixing the compensatory aid for bananas produced and marketed in the Community in 1999, the time limit for payment of the balance of the aid and the unit value of the advances for 2000(5).

(3) To take account of the continuing deterioration of prices on the Community market and accordingly of the difficult financial situation in which Community banana producers find themselves, provision should be made for the payment of a second supplement to advances to be paid on quantities marketed in the Community from 1 January to 31 October 2000, without prejudice to the compensatory aid to be set subsequently in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 and Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93.

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 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 EUR 29,002/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 March 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
