THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European

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

Article 1

(1)

(2)

(3)

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 953/2002 (5), opened a
standing invitation to tender for the export of 30 000
tonnes of barley held by the Belgian intervention agency.
Belgium informed the Commission of the intention of its
intervention agency to increase by 28 081 tonnes the
quantity for which a standing invitation to tender for
export has been opened. The total quantity of barley
held by the Belgian intervention agency for which a
standing invitation to tender for export has been opened
should be increased to 58 081 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 953/2002 must
therefore be amended.

Regulation (EC) No 953/2002 is hereby amended as follows:

1. Article 2 is replaced by the following:

‘Article 2

1.
The invitation to tender shall cover a maximum of
58 081 tonnes of barley to be exported to all third countries
with the exception of the United States of America, Canada
and Mexico.

The regions in which the 58 081 tonnes of barley are

2.
stored are stated in Annex I to this Regulation.’

2. Annex I is replaced by the Annex hereto.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publica-
tion in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 5 March 2003.
