COMMISSION DECISION  of 13 April 1992  calling upon the Kingdom of the Netherlands to postpone the adoption of a draft Regulation in respect of the labelling of emulsified fats  (Only the Dutch text is authentic)  (92/238/EEC)
THE  COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 79/112/EEC of 18 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs (1) as last amended by Commission Directive 91/72/EEC (2), and  in particular Articles 16 and 17 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to the procedure laid down in Article 16 (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC, the Netherlands authorities notified the Commission of their intention to adopt a draft regulation relating to emulsified fats other than margarine and halvarine;
Whereas the draft Regulation authorizes the sale of emulsified fats other than margarine and halvarine if the fat content of these products is included in the labelling;
Whereas in accordance with Article 16 (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC, the Commission has consulted the other Member States within the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs;
Whereas it has been generally acknowledged that indication of fat content is very important as an item of information which enables the consumer to make a distinction between the various types of products on the market;
Whereas, however, for the Netherlands to apply such a measure unilaterally would be bound to hamper intra-Community trade considerably;
Whereas this has led the Commission to give a negative opinion in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 16 (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC;
Whereas the most satisfactory solution to the problem raised by the Netherlands draft Regulation would be to draw up Community provisions;
Whereas, on the one hand, the Commission recently adopted a proposal for a Council Directive amending Directive 79/112/EEC and introducing compulsory indication of the content of certain ingredients (3);
Whereas, on the other hand, the Commission has adopted a proposal for a Council Regulation laying down marketing standards for certain milk and non-milk fats and fats composed of plant and animal products (4);
Whereas any national initiative in this area should therefore be postponed for a suitable period;
Whereas the measures taken under this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,
The Kingdom of the Netherlands shall, for a period of 12 months from the notification of this Decision, postpone the adoption of its draft Regulation in respect of measures requiring the fat content of emulsified fats to be indicated on the  labelling of such products.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1226/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1032/95 (4), gives the rules for communicating those data for certain Central and East European countries; whereas those rules should be extended to cover the three Baltic States;
Whereas the names of the countries resulting from the break-up of Yugoslavia should be updated and amendments to the combined nomenclature and the Taric codes should be taken into account;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,

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 33,242/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 29 November 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
