COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1668/1999

of 28 July 1999

amending Regulation (EC) No 1758/98 increasing to 1 650 000 tonnes the quantity of
wheat of breadmaking quality 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 1758/
98 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1563/
1999 (6), opened a standing invitation to tender for
the export of 1 450 000 tonnes of wheat of bread-
making quality 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 wheat of breadmaking
quality held by the French intervention agency for
which a standing invitation to tender for export has
been opened should be increased to 1 650 000
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 1758/98 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 1758/98 is hereby amended as follows:
