COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1021/1999

of 18 May 1999

amending Regulations (EC) No 1666/98, (EC) No 1667/98, (EC) No 1735/98, (EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

that payments must be made no later than one
month after acceptance of the tender;

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,

(1) 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 sale of cereals held by the intervention
agencies;

(2) Whereas a later date must be set for the last partial
invitation to tender for the tenders opened by
Commission Regulations (EC) No 1666/98 (5), as
last amended by Regulation (EC) No 631/1999 (6),
(EC) No 1667/98 (7), as last amended by Regulation
(EC) No 468/1999 (8), (EC) No 1735/98 (9), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 438/1999 (10), (EC)
No 1759/98 (11), as last amended by Regulation
(EC) No 2642/98 (12), (EC) No 1760/98 (13), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 849/1999 (14), and
(EC) No 2198/98 (15), as last amended by Regula-
tion (EC) No 2694/98 (16);

(3) Whereas the invitation to tender for the export of
intervention stocks is unusual in that it will also
operate at the end of the marketing year, i.e. in
June 1999; whereas,
in the case of
tenders made between 3 and 30 June 1999, deliv-
eries will be possible only from 1 July 1999;
whereas provision must accordingly be made to
derogate from the first paragraph of Article 16 of
Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93, which stipulates
