COUNCIL  DIRECTIVE
of 26 May 1986
amending Directive 66/403/EEC on the marketing of seed potatoes
(86/215/EEC)
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,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Directive 66/403/EEC (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (3), provides that in principle from 1 July 1975 onwards Member States may no longer determine for themselves the equivalence of seed potatoes harvested in third countries with basic seed potatoes or certified seed potatoes harvested within the Community and complying with that Directive;
Whereas, however, since work to establish Community equivalence for all the third countries concerned had not been completed, Article 15 (2a) of that Directive permitted Member States to extend to 31 January 1984 the period of validity of equivalences which they had already determined in respect of certain countries not covered by the Community equivalences;
Whereas the said work is still incomplete and the said final date should be deferred to dates determined in accordance with Member States' obligations under the common rules on plant health laid down by Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Member States of organisms harmful to plants or plant products (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85;
Whereas this measure does not affect the aforementioned obligations and, in respect of seed potatoes produced in Canada, the extension can therefore be used only by the Hellenic Republic and the Italian Republic, within the limits set up by Commission Decision 86/120/EEC (5) and by the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic which, under the terms of the Act of Accession, will not be implementing the provisions of the aforementioned Directive before 30 June 1986,
In Article 15 (2a) of Directive 66/403/EEC, '31 January 1984' is replaced by '31 March 1986' and the following sentence added:
'With regard to Spain and Portugal, "31 March 1986" shall be replaced by "30 June 1986" and "1 July 1975" by "1 January 1986".'
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 22,170/kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 20 July 2002.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),
Whereas, when the basic price for slaughtered pigs is fixed, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy and of the contribution which the Community desires to make to the harmonious development of world trade; whereas  the objectives of the common agricultural policy are in particular to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, to ensure that supplies are available and that they reach consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas the basic price must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 for a standard quality defined by reference to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the  Community scale for grading pig carcases (6), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3530/86 (7);
Whereas, because of the close interdependence which exists between the market in pigmeat and the market in cereals, the basic price for slaughtered pigs should be made to apply, for the current year, from the beginning of the marketing year in the  cereals sector, and whereas, therefore, a derogation should be provided for from Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75;
Whereas, as a result, Regulation (EEC) No 1971/87 (8), which fixed the basic price and the standard quality for slaughtered pigs for the period 1 November 1987 to 31 October 1988 should be repealed,

The standard quality shall be defined in terms of carcase weight and lean meat content, determined in accordance with Article 2 (2) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84, as follows:
(a)  carcases weighing 60 to less than 100 kilograms: grade U;
