COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 492/1999

of 5 March 1999

amending Regulation (EC) No 1641/98 increasing to 50 222 tonnes the quantity of
rye held by the Austrian 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 39/1999 (4), lays
down the procedures and conditions for the disposal of
cereals held by the intervention agencies;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1641/98 (5), as
last amended by Regulation (EC) No 40/1999 (6), opened
a standing invitation to tender for the export of 26 334
tonnes of rye held by the Austrian intervention agency;
whereas, Austria informed the Commission of the inten-
tion of
its intervention agency to increase by 23 888
tonnes the quantity for which a standing invitation to
tender for export has been opened; whereas the total
quantity of rye held by the Austrian intervention agency
for which a standing invitation to tender for export has
been opened should be increased to 50 222 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
1641/98 must therefore be amended;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are
in accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Cereals,
