COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1911/98

of 8 September 1998

amending Regulation (EC) No 1760/98 increasing to 400 000 tonnes the quantity
of barley held by the French intervention agency for which a standing invitation
to tender for export has been opened

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92
of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the
market in cereals (1), as last amended by Commission
Regulation (EC) No 923/96 (2), and in particular Article 5
thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 (3),
as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2193/96 (4), lays
down the procedures and conditions for the disposal of
cereals held by the intervention agencies;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1760/98 (5), as
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1792/98 (6), opened a
standing invitation to tender for the export of 200 000
tonnes of barley held by the French intervention agency;
whereas, France informed the Commission of the inten-
tion of its intervention agency to increase by 200 000
tonnes the quantity for which a standing invitation to
tender for export has been opened; whereas the total
quantity of barley held by the French intervention agency
for which a standing invitation to tender for export has
been opened should be increased to 400 000 tonnes;

Whereas this increase in the quantity put out to tender
makes it necessary to alter the list of regions and quanti-
ties in store; whereas Annex I to Regulation (EC) No
1760/98 must therefore 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:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 1760/98 is hereby amended as
follows:

1. Article 2 is replaced by the following:

The regions in which the 400 000 tonnes of
2.

tion.'

2. Annex I is replaced by the Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its
publication in the Official Journal of the European
Communities.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member
States.

Done at Brussels, 8 September 1998.
