After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,
Whereas:
(1) In July 1986 the Commission received a complaint lodged by the European Committee of Manufacturers of Electrical Domestic Equipment (CECED), on behalf of producers representing substantially all the Community production of microwave ovens. The complaint, which was subsequently completed and updated, contained evidence of dumping and material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of microwave ovens corresponding to CN code 8516 50 00 and originating in Japan, the Republic of Singapore and the Republic of Korea and commenced an investigation.
(2) The Commission commenced the investigation by seeking from the parties involved, and verifying, the information necessary for the assessment of dumping and injury.
(3) On 26 September 1988 the Commission was informed by the complainant that it was withdrawing the complaint because of profound changes in the market place.
(4) In these circumstances, the Commission has no reason to consider that termination of the proceeding would not be in the interests of the Community.
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of microwave ovens originating in Japan, the Republic of Singapore and the Republic of Korea is hereby terminated.

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.

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 22,374/100 kg.
