COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 976/2001

of 18 May 2001

amending Regulation (EC) No 1490/2000 increasing to 1 200 267 tonnes the quantity of rye held

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30

down the procedures and conditions for the disposal of
cereals held by the intervention agencies.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1490/2000 (5), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 250/2001 (6), opened a
standing invitation to tender for the export of 700 191
tonnes of rye held by the German intervention agency.
Germany informed the Commission of the intention of
its intervention agency to increase by 500 076 tonnes
the quantity for which a standing invitation to tender for
export has been opened. The total quantity of rye held
by the German intervention agency for which a standing
invitation to tender for export has been opened should
be increased to 1 200 267 tonnes.

This increase in the quantity put out to tender makes it
necessary to alter the list of regions and quantities in
store. Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1490/2000 must
therefore be amended.

(5)

A later date must be set for the last partial invitation to
tender for the tender opened by Regulation (EC) No
1490/2000.

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