COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 884/2002

of 28 May 2002

amending Regulation (EC) No 1500/2001 increasing to 129 995 tonnes the quantity of barley held
by the Finnish 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 1666/
2000 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 (3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1630/2000 (4),
lays
down the procedures and conditions for the disposal of
cereals held by the intervention agencies.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1500/2001 (5), as
amended by Regulation (EC) No 2417/2001 (6), opened
a standing invitation to tender for the export of 100 000
tonnes of barley held by the Finnish intervention agency.
Finland informed the Commission of the intention of its
intervention agency to increase by 29 995 tonnes the
quantity for which a standing invitation to tender for
export has been opened. The total quantity of barley
held by the Finnish intervention agency for which a
standing invitation to tender for export has been opened
should be increased to 129 995 tonnes.

(3)

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 1500/2001 must
therefore be amended.

(4)

(5)

A later date must be set for the last partial invitation to
tender for the tender opened by Regulation (EC) No
1500/2001.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
