Having regard to the letter dated 2 April 2004 from the Cypriot authorities, requesting the extension to Cyprus of the limited recognition of the Hellenic Register of Shipping (hereinafter HRS) pursuant to Article 4(2) of Directive 94/57/EC,
Having regard to the letter dated 7 September 2004 from the Greek authorities, requesting the unconditional extension of the limited recognition of HRS pursuant to Article 4(3) of that Directive,
Whereas:
(1) The limited recognition under Article 4(3) of Directive 94/57/EC is a recognition granted to organisations known as classification societies, which fulfil all criteria other than those set out under paragraphs 2 and 3 of the ‘General’ section A of the Annex thereto, but limited in time and scope in order for the organisation concerned to gain further experience.
(2) Commission Decision 2001/890/EC (2) recognised HRS for Greece on the basis of Article 4(3), for a period of three years from 13 December 2001.
(3) The Commission has verified that HRS meets all criteria of the Annex to Directive 94/57/EC other than those set out under paragraphs 2 and 3 of the ‘General’ section A of that Annex.
(4) The assessment carried out by the Commission has furthermore revealed signs that HRS needs to keep developing its system of quality indicators in order to enhance its ability to measure both risk and performance.
(5) The organisation’s safety and pollution performance records as published by the Paris Memorandum of Understanding, albeit poor during the period 2000 to 2002, showed a trend towards moderate improvement in 2003 and HRS has committed itself to the objective of bringing its performance records into line with the average of the recognised organisations.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the COSS Committee set up by Article 7 of Directive 94/57/EC,
The limited recognition of the Hellenic Register of Shipping granted by Decision 2001/890/EC is extended for a period of three years as from the date of adoption of this Decision.
The effects of the extended recognition are limited to Greece and Cyprus.

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 24,133/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 29 January 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas it is necessary, therefore, to make allowance for these difficulties by giving Germany the opportunity to administer the aforesaid rapid information system differently;
Whereas this derogation must be of a temporary nature and cause the least possible disruption to the functioning of the common market; whereas Germany must make every effort to achieve the objectives of the Decision throughout its territory;
Whereas the Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Decision, powers other than those of Article 235,
1.  The Federal Republic of Germany is authorized to provide, in respect of the territory of the former German Democratic Republic, that its obligations arising out of the application of Decision 89/45/EEC, may be complied with during a  period expiring not later than 31 December 1992, using means other than those already established pursuant to the aforesaid Decision.
2.  The Federal Republic of Germany shall, during that period, ensure that existing structures can be used, wherever possible, to attain the objectives of Decision 89/45/EEC and shall ensure, in particular, that information received by the information  system established by that Decision is transmitted appropriately throughout its territory.
The Federal Republic of Germany shall report regularly, within the framework of consultations within the Committee set up by Article 7 of Decision 89/45/EEC, on the measures taken pursuant to Article 1 above.
Any Member State may refer any difficulties to the Commission. The Commission shall, as a matter of urgency, examine the question and submit its conclusions, possibly accompanied by appropriate measures.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
