amending Regulation (EC) No 990/2006 opening standing invitations to tender for the export of cereals held by the intervention agencies of the Member States

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(2) The comparative situation of the prices of rye on the export market and internal market might make it financially attractive for those operators who successfully tender for the lots of rye for export to sell it instead on the internal market, even if by so doing they lose the security. In order to avoid this situation and to ensure that the tendering process covered by Regulation (EC) No 990/2006 works effectively, the security for rye should be increased.

(3) Regulation (EC) No 990/2006 should be amended accordingly.

Half of this security shall be lodged when the export licence is issued and the balance shall be lodged before the cereals are removed from the place of storage.’
