COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1206/92 of 11 May 1992 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3680/91 on the sale for delivery in Madeira and the Azores of cereals held by different intervention agencies, and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3681/91 fixing the minimum selling prices for the purposes of the standing invitation to tender issued by Regulation (EEC) No 3680/91

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 674/92 (2), and in particular Article 7 (6) thereof,

Whereas Article 2 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3680/91 of 17 December 1991 on the sale for delivery in the Azores and Madeira of cereals held by the intervention agencies (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 308/92 (4), explicitly states that each of the islands in the archipelago in which there are either milling facilities or feedingstuffs factories should be supplied; whereas the experience acquired shows that supply of maize to these islands should equally be foreseen to the detriment of the foreseen supply in other cereals; whereas the Portuguese intervention Agency no longer withholds stocks for this supply; whereas, as a consequence of the procedural delay, a longer than foreseen delay should be introduced for May 1992; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3680/91 should therefore be amended;

Whereas this supply is foreseen by a tender to sell cereals held by different intervention agencies;

Whereas the minimum selling prices for the purposes of the standing invitation to tender issued by Regulation (EEC) No 3680/91 have been fixed in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3681/91 (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 308/92;

Whereas the selling prices for maize should be fixed and therefore, the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3681/91 should be amended;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
