Having regard to Council Directive 64/433/EEC of 26 June 1964 on health conditions for the production and marketing of fresh meat(1), as last amended by Directive 95/23/EC(2), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 18(3) of Council Directive 72/462/EEC(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001(4), a decision was adopted on 28 January 1991 permitting warm-cutting of bovine and pig carcases under special conditions in certain establishments in Sweden.
(2) Sweden acceded to the Community with effect as from 1 January 1995. For this reason Directive 72/462/EEC is no longer the appropriate legal basis for a decision allowing for warm-cutting. A new decision should therefore be adopted under Directive 64/433/EEC.
(3) The authorities of Sweden, by letter of 15 July 2002, have presented to the Commission a request for a derogation from point 46(d) of Annex I to Directive 64/433/EEC for cutting fresh beef and pigmeat. This request proposes health conditions which are equivalent to those laid down in that paragraph.
(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee of the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Notwithstanding point 46(d) of Annex I to Directive 64/433/EEC, Sweden may authorise cutting of fresh beef and pigmeat under the conditions laid down in the Annex to this Decision.

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 18,441/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 20 October 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
