best terms. Where two or more tenders are at identical

of a performance security of ECU 30 per hectolitre of 
alcohol at 100 °/o vol, the successful tenderer will obtain

concerned within 20 days of the date of receipt of the 
Commission's decision awarding the lot in question. IX. Securities

relevant Community rules, and in particular those laid
