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 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (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 21,897 EUR/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 March 2006.

Whereas, pending the conclusions to be reached in examining complementary information supplied by the competent authorities, and in order to ensure continuity of the specific supply arrangements, the quantities of pure-bred breeding animals in receipt  of the aid should be established, for a new period limited to two months, on the basis of the quantities determined for the 1993/94 marketing year;
Whereas the amounts supplying for the Canary Islands with pigmeat products, as set out in the aforementioned Annex, are determined on the basis of the criteria for fixing Community aid in the present market situation of the sector in question and, in  particular, in the light of the price of such products on the European territory of the Community and on the world market;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
Annexes I, II and III to Regulation (EEC) No 1724/92 are replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.

Having regard to Council Directive 64/433/EEC of 26 June 1964 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (1), as last amended by Directive 83/90/EEC (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas import checks carried out by the Italian authorities revealed that meat from four meat establishments, in Belgium (No 642 and No 943) and in the Netherlands (No 88 and its annexes 88-1 and 88-2 and No 98) was contaminated; whereas there was reason to suspect, in conformity with the first indent of Article 8 (3) of Directive 64/433/EEC, that the provisions governing the approval were not observed in these establishments;
Whereas the Italian authorities had transmitted their findings to the Belgian and Netherlands authorities; whereas the Commission was asked to arrange for an expert opinion in accordance with the fourth indent of Article 8 (3) of Directive 64/433/EEC;
Whereas the Belgian authorities informed the Commission of the withdrawal of approval from establishment No 943;
Whereas, following their inspection, the experts designated by the Commission were of the opinion that some improvements were necessary in the three other establishments visited in order to make these establishments conform to the Community standards laid down in Directive 64/433/EEC; whereas the Belgian and Netherlands authorities gave an assurance that measures were taken to effect these improvements;
Whereas, in the light of the conclusions of the experts, there is no reason to believe that the requirements to which approval of establishments is subject are not being met or, therefore, to authorize Member States to refuse the admission into their territory of fresh meat from the three establishments concerned;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The conditions for authorizing the suspension of the introduction into the territory of the other Member States of fresh meat from establishment No 642 (cutting plant) in Belgium and No 88 (slaughterhouse), 88-1 and 88-2 (cutting plants) and No 98 (cutting plant) in the Netherlands, are not fulfilled.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
