Commission Regulation (EC) No 394/2003
of 28 February 2003
determining the world market price for unginned cotton
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
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.
(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 27,972/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 March 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

entering a name in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Lapin Poron liha (PDO))
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 and Article 17(2) thereof, the application submitted by Finland to enter the name ‘Lapin Poron liha’ in the register was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
 (2).
(2) A statement of objection by Sweden was notified to the Commission on 26 June 2008 in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. That objection is based on points (a), (c) and (d) of the first subparagraph of Article 7(3) of that Regulation. In its statement of objection, Sweden took the view that the conditions for registration referred to in Article 2 of that Regulation are not met, that registration of the name in question is injurious to names, trade marks or existing goods and that the name in question is generic.
(3) The Commission considered that objection to be admissible and, by letter of 4 August 2008, asked the Member States concerned to seek agreement among themselves in accordance with their internal procedures.
(4) An agreement, notified to the Commission on 27 February 2009, was concluded between Finland and Sweden within six months. Under that agreement, Sweden does not have an objection to registration of the name ‘Lapin Poron liha’. It was agreed that the detailed rules for the labelling of reindeer meat or products based on reindeer meat originating in Swedish Lapland should be made in compliance with Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006.
(5) That agreement does not amend the information published pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. The name ‘Lapin Poron liha’ should therefore be registered in accordance with Article 7(4) of that Regulation,
The name contained in the Annex to this Regulation is hereby entered in the register.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
