COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 712/2007

of 22 June 2007

opening standing invitations to tender for the resale on the Community market of cereals held by the intervention agencies of the Member States







THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals ( 1 ), and in particular Article 6 and the second paragraph of Article 24 thereof, Whereas: (1) Under Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 of 28 July 1993 laying down the procedures and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies ( 2 ), cereals held by intervention agencies are to be sold by tendering procedure at prices preventing market disturbance. (2) The Member States have intervention stocks of maize, common wheat, barley and rye. To meet market needs, these stocks of cereals should be made available on the Community market. To this end, standing invitations to tender should be opened for the resale on the Community market of cereals held by the intervention agencies of the Member States. Each sale should be considered to constitute a separate invitation to tender. (3) Derogations should be made from the terms laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 as regards the level of the security required. This security should be set at a sufficiently high level. (4) To take account of the situation on the Community market, provision should be made for the Commission to manage this invitation to tender. In addition, provision must be made for an award coefficient for tenders offering the minimum selling price. (5) With a view to the sound management of the system, provision should be made for the electronic transmission of the information required by the Commission. It is important for the notification by the intervention agencies to the Commission to maintain the anonymity of the tenderers. (6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals, Whereas: HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
