COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2318/98

of 27 October 1998

amending Regulation (EC) No 1761/98 increasing to 71 000 tonnes the quantity of
sorghum 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 1761/98 (5), as
last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2043/98 (6), opened
a standing invitation to tender for the export of 64 000
tonnes of sorghum held by the French intervention
agency; whereas, France informed the Commission of the
intention of its intervention agency to increase by 7 000
tonnes the quantity for which a standing invitation to
tender for export has been opened; whereas the total
quantity of sorghum held by the French intervention
agency for which a standing invitation to tender for
export has been opened should be increased to 71 000
tonnes;

Whereas this increase in the quantity put out to tender
makes it necessary to alter the list of regions and quant-

ities in store; whereas Annex I to Regulation (EC) No
1761/98 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 1761/98 is hereby amended as
follows:

The regions

2.
in which the 71 000 tonnes of

lation.';

2. Annex I is replaced by the Annex hereto.

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, 27 October 1998.
