Commission Regulation (EC) No 699/2003
of 16 April 2003
opening an invitation to tender for the reduction in the duty on sorghum imported into Spain from third countries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 12(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under the Agreement on Agriculture(3) concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, the Community has undertaken to import a quantity of sorghum into Spain.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 of 26 July 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of tariff quotas for imports of maize and sorghum into Spain and imports of maize into Portugal(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2235/2000(5), lays down the special detailed rules necessary for implementing invitations to tender.
(3) In the light of current market needs in Spain, an invitation to tender for the reduction in the duty on imports of sorghum should be opened.
(4) Council Regulation (EC) No 2286/2002 of 10 December 2002 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1706/98(6) provides in particular for a reduction of 60 % in the import duty applicable to grain sorghum up to a quota of 100000 tonnes per calendar year and of 50 % in excess of that quota. If that benefit is combined with the benefit resulting from the invitations to tender for the reduction in the import duty, this is likely to disturb the Spanish market for cereals. Such combined benefits should therefore be ruled out.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. An invitation to tender is hereby opened for the reduction in the import duty referred to in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on sorghum to be imported into Spain.

Article 3
Import licences issued under these invitations to tender shall be valid 50 days from the date they are issued within the meaning of Article 10(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1839/95.
Article 4
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
