The combined provisions of Article 13(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 of 28 July 1993 laying down the procedure
and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies and Article 4a of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 689/92
of 19 March 1992 fixing the procedure and conditions for the taking-over of cereals by intervention agencies, as amended by
Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2486/92 of 27 August 1992, are to be interpreted as meaning that, in the case of a sale by
tender of maize held by the international intervention agencies, the price reductions in relation to the moisture content
laid down for durum wheat in Table II of Annex II to Regulation No 689/92, as amended by Regulation No 2486/92, do not apply.
