THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 of 29 May 1989 on the definitive uniform arrangements for the collection of own resources accruing from value added tax (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 4(4) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee on Own Resources,
Whereas:
(1) Portugal has requested authorisation from the Commission to use national accounts for years earlier than the last year but one in order to calculate the VAT own resources base for the financial year 2009.
(2) For the purposes of the breakdown of transactions by statistical category provided for in Article 4(4) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89, Portugal is unable to use national accounts relating to the last year but one before the financial year for which VAT resources base is to be calculated, since only the national accounts relating to 2006 are sufficiently detailed to enable the weighted average rate to be calculated for the financial year 2009. Portugal should therefore be authorised to use national accounts relating to 2006 in order to calculate the weighted average rate for the financial year 2009,
For the purposes of the breakdown of transactions by statistical category, Portugal is authorised to use data taken from the national accounts relating to 2006 in order to calculate the VAT own resources base for the financial year 2009.
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.

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 33,767/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 17 October 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
