COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1397/1999

of 28 June 1999

amending Regulation (EC) No 1760/98 increasing to 2 338 000 tonnes the quantity
of barley 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 Regulation (EC)
No 1253/1999 (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 disposal of cereals held by the intervention
agencies;

(2) Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1760/
98 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
1198/1999 (6), opened a standing invitation to
tender for the export of 2 138 000 tonnes of barley
held by the French intervention agency; whereas,
France informed the Commission of the intention
of its intervention agency to increase by 200 000
tonnes the quantity for which a standing invitation
to tender for export has been opened; whereas the
total quantity of barley held by the French inter-
vention agency for which a standing invitation to
tender
for export has been opened should be
increased to 2 338 000 tonnes;

(3) Whereas this increase in the quantity put out to
tender makes it necessary to alter the list of regions

and quantities in store; whereas Annex I to Regula-
tion (EC) No 1760/98 must therefore be amended;

(4) Whereas the measures provided for in this Regula-
tion are in accordance with the opinion of the
Management Committee for Cereals,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 1760/98 is hereby amended as
follows:
