*****COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 392/87  of 9 February 1987  laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 230/87 on the free supply of intervention stocks of processed cereals to charitable organizations  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 1579/86 (2), and in particular Article 7 (4) thereof,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 230/87 of 26 January 1987 on the free supply of intervention stocks of processed cereals to charitable organizations (3), and in particular Article 1 (3) thereof,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 of 11 June 1985 on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3772/85 (5), and in particular Article 3 (4) thereof,  Whereas the best way of achieving the object of Regulation (EEC) No 230/87 is to issue an invitation to tender for the supply of common wheat flour or durum wheat groats and meal; whereas to simplify the procedure, tenders should be expressed in quantities of basic cereals to be disposed of by the intervention agency to the tenderer; whereas, however, it may be more efficient administratively to use the direct-agreement procedure; whereas provision should therefore also be made for such a procedure;  Whereas provision should be made for a Member State, where insufficient intervention stocks are available for the purposes of Regulation (EEC) No 230/87, to draw supplies from the intervention stocks of other Member States; whereas it should be specified that in such cases, as provided for in Article 21 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3154/85 of 11 November 1985 laying down detailed rules for the administrative application of monetary compensatory amounts (6), the system of monetary compensatory amounts shall not apply;  Whereas, in view of the non-commercial nature of transactions covered by this Regulation, neither accession compensatory amounts nor the supplementary trade mechanism should be applied; whereas, moreover, in order to prevent any distortions of competition provision should be made for the processing of basic cereals to be carried out by the successful tenderer in the Member State in which the processed product is to be used;  Whereas 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  The quantities of common wheat flour falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading 11.01 A and/or of durum wheat groats and meal falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading 11.02 A I a) to be supplied by the intervention agencies to charitable organizations, as provided for in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 230/87, shall be as listed in Annex I hereto.  Article 2  1. Member States with sufficient quantities of cereals available in intervention storage for purposes of the operation referred to in Article 1, the intervention agencies shall specify the most suitable storage locations.  2. For Member States with insufficient intervention stocks of a suitable quality within their territory for the purposes of the operation provided for in Article 1, the storage locations shall be as listed in Annex II. In such cases:  - neither monetary compensatory amounts nor accession compensatory amounts apply to the transfer of the basic cereals nor shall the supplementary trade mechanism apply;  - the intervention agency of the Member State in the territory in which the cereals are stored shall supply the intervention agency concerned with all necessary information, in particular regarding the quality of the wheat in question.  Article 3  1. The intervention agencies shall issue invitations to tender for the supply of the processed basic cereals concerned, delivered to the destination specified by the charitable organizations in accordance with Article 1 (2).  2. Tenderers shall undertake to take over the basic cereals loaded at the intervention store, to process them into common wheat flour falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading 11.01 A or durum wheat groats and meal falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading 11.02 A I a) by 30 April 1987 at the latest and to deliver to the destination specified, within the time limit indicated in the notice of invitation to tender, the quantity of processed product for which has been awarded to them.  Processing of the cereals disposed of by the intervention agency must be carried out in the country in which the processed product is to be used.  3. Tenders must be lodged with the intervention agencies of the Member State in which the processed products are to be delivered and must be for a quantity of basic cereals to be disposed of by the intervention agency to the tenderer. Tenders shall not be valid unless accompanied by a written undertaking, countersigned by a credit establishment, to lodge within two working days at the latest of the day on which the notice of award is received, a security amounting to 10 %, of the intervention price expressed in Deutschmarks applying on the final date for the submission of tenders.  To that end the intervention expressed in Deutschmarks price shall be converted into the currency of the Member State of delivery using the latest exchange rate for sales recorded on the currency market of the Member State of delivery on the day on which the invitation to tender is opened.  The successful tenderers shall be those offering to take over the smallest quantities of basic cereal.  Article 4  1. The commitments that tenderers are required to enter into under Article 3 (2) shall be considered as primary requirements in accordance with Article 20 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 (1). They shall not be considered as having been discharged until the tenderer provides evidence that the cereals have been processed and supporting documents that the products of this processing or equivalent products have been delivered. This evidence must be provided by 30 June 1987 at the latest.  2. Evidence that the cereals removed from intervention have been processed shall be provided in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 of 30 June 1976 laying down common detailed rules for verifying the use and/or destination of products from intervention (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 181/87 (3).
