COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2642/98

of 9 December 1998

amending Regulation (EC) No 1759/98 increasing to 889 230 tonnes the quantity
of barley held by the United Kingdom 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 1759/98 (5), as
last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2205/98 (6), opened
a standing invitation to tender for the export of 597 652
tonnes of barley held by the United Kingdom interven-
tion agency; whereas, the United Kingdom informed the
Commission of the intention of its intervention agency to
increase by 291 578 tonnes the quantity for which a
standing invitation to tender for export has been opened;
whereas the total quantity of barley held by the United
Kingdom intervention agency for which a standing in-
vitation to tender for export has been opened should be
increased to 889 230 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
1759/98 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 1759/98 is hereby amended as
follows:

tion.'

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, 9 December 1998.
