COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2589/98

of 1 December 1998

amending Regulation (EC) No 2198/98 increasing to 749 960 tonnes the quantity
of barley held by the German 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 2198/98 (5),
opened a standing invitation to tender for the export of
249 775 tonnes of barley held by the German interven-
tion agency; whereas, Germany informed the Commission
of the intention of its intervention agency to increase by
500 185 tonnes the quantity for which a standing invita-
tion to tender for export has been opened; whereas the
total quantity of barley held by the German intervention
agency for which a standing invitation to tender for
export has been opened should be increased to 749 960
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
2198/98 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 2198/98 is hereby amended as
follows:

1. Article 2 is replaced by the following:

‘Article 2

The invitation to tender shall cover a maximum
1.
of 749 960 tonnes of barley for export to third coun-
tries, with the exception of the United States, Canada
and Mexico.

The regions in which the 749 960 tonnes of
2.
barley are stored are stated in Annex I to this Regula-
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, 1 December 1998.
