(2) The Final Act of the Conference which drew up the Treaty of Accession indicated that the High Contracting Parties had reached political agreement on a set of adaptations to acts adopted by the institutions required by reason of accession and invited the Council and the Commission to adopt these adaptations before accession, completed and updated where necessary to take account of the evolution of the law of the Union.
(3) Commission Directives 1999/21/EC (1) and 2006/141/EC (2) should therefore be amended accordingly,

Whereas at international level the definition of the SI unit of measurement of length has been amended by the 17th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM); whereas this new definition shall be used at Community level;
Whereas in a recommendation of 22 May 1981 the World Health Organization requested that the millimetre of mercury be retained in addition to the kilopascal as a unit for the measurement of the pressure of blood and other body fluids; whereas it is advisable for the Community to adopt this solution;
Whereas the barn is the unit universally used to measure the effective cross-sectional area on the occasion of nuclear reactions; whereas experience has shown that this specific unit could not easily be replaced by an SI unit; whereas it is therefore necessary to authorize its use in the nuclear field;
Whereas therefore Directive 80/181/EEC (4) should be amended accordingly,
The Annex to Directive 80/181/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. in point 1.1 of Chapter I the definition of the unit of length is replaced by the following:
'Unit of length
A metre is the length of the path travelled in a vacuum by light during 1/299 792 458 seconds.
(Seventeenth CGPM (1983), Resolution 1).';
2. in section 4 of Chapter I:
(a) the following is added to the table
1.2,4 //   //   // 'Quantity  // Unit  //   //  1.2.3.4 //  // Name  // Symbol  // Value  //   //   //   //   // Blood pressure and pressure of other body fluids  // Millimetre of mercury  // mm Hg(*)  // 1 mm Hg = 133,322 Pa  // Effective cross-sectional area  // Barn  // b  // 1 b = 10 -28 m2'  //  //   //   //
(b) the note is hereby replaced by the following:
'The prefixes and their symbols listed in 1.3 may be used in conjunction with the above units and symbols, with the exception of the millimetre of mercury and its symbol. The multiple of 102a is, however, called a "hectare".'
3. in Chapter II:
(a) the unit of measurement for blood pressure in the table is deleted;
(b) the note is replaced by the following:
'The prefixes and their symbols listed in 1.3 of Chapter I may be used in conjunction with the above units and symbols, with the exception of the symbol "g".'
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive on 1 July 1985. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

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 24,331/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 8 August 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2068/92 of 30 June 1992 fixing, for the period 1 July 1993 to 30 June 1996, the intervention prices for adult bovine animals
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the beef and veal sector is persistently subject to economic factors which, given the possibilities for exports to third countries, causes structural imbalance between supply and demand on the Community market;
Whereas, in order to redress the situation of agriculture in general, measures are being applied, including reductions in institutional prices, in the sectors supplying feedingstuffs, especially cereals; whereas the effect in the meat sector is a 10 %  fall in the average production price;
Whereas the economic effect of the new conditions of production should be reflected proportionately in the intervention price; whereas, given the constant ratio between the production price for beef and those for pigmeat and poultrymeat and in order not  to disturb competition between these two sectors, the intervention price for beef should be reduced by a further 5 %;
Whereas the intervention price should be adjusted with due regard for the transitional arrangements decided upon for the cereals sector; whereas, therefore, the measures provided for in this Regulation should be implemented in three stages;
Whereas, during the period of transition, fixing of the intervention price before the start of each marketing year should be waived,
By way of derogation from the second subparagraph of Article 6 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (4), the intervention price for carcases of male animals in category R3 of  the Community scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 (5) shall be:
- ECU 325,85 per 100 kg carcase weight for the period 1 July 1993 to 30 June 1994,
- ECU 308,70 per 100 kg carcase weight for the period 1 July 1994 to 30 June 1995,

COMMISSION DECISION  of 23 September 1991  accepting an undertaking offered in connection with the countervailing proceeding concerning imports of polyester fibres and polyester yarns originating in Turkey and terminating the investigation   (91/511/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88,
Whereas:
(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 1432/91 (2), the Commission imposed a provisional countervailing duty on imports of polyester fibres and polyester yarns originating in Turkey;
(2) Subsequently, the imported Turkish products concerned were definitively found to have been subsidized during the reference period (1 July 1987 to 31 December 1988) and to have caused material injury to Community producers thereby. In that respect  the Commission refers to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2834/91 (3);
(3) Turkey has, after the imposition of the provisional countervailing duty, offered an undertaking in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88;
(4) The Commission regards this undertaking as acceptable, given that Turkey will gradually phase out the main export subsidy scheme - the corporate tax exemption - for the products concerned, which will, within a relatively short time, eliminate the  major part of the injury caused by the Turkish subsidized imports;
(5) In addition, Turkey has offered its assistance in the monitoring of this undertaking;
(6) The Council has, by Regulation (EEC) No 2834/91 decided to collect definitively the amounts secured by way of provisional duty,
The undertaking offered by Turkey in connection with the proceeding (4) concerning imports of polyester fibres and polyester yarns originating in Turkey, is hereby accepted.
The investigation in connection with the proceeding referred to in Article 1 is hereby terminated.
