COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 582/2004

of 26 March 2004

opening a standing invitation to tender for export refunds concerning skimmed milk powder

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

The tendering procedure is subject to the conditions set

2.
out in Regulation (EC) No 580/2004 and in this Regulation.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17
May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk
and milk products (1), and in particular Article 31(3)(b) and
(14) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

According to Article 2(1) of Commission Regulation
(EC) No 580/2004 of 26 March 2004 establishing a
tender procedure concerning export refunds for certain
milk products (2) the Commission decides on a standing
invitation to tender within the framework of that Regu-
lation.

For practical reasons it is appropriate to provide for
separate invitations to tender for the products referred to
in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 580/2004. This Regu-
lation should therefore open a standing invitation to
tender for skimmed milk powder.

The Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products
has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by
its chairman,

Article 2

1.
Tenders may only be lodged during tendering periods and
shall be valid only for the tendering period in which they are
lodged.

2.
Each tendering period shall begin at 11:00 (Brussels time)
on the first and third Wednesday of the month except the first
Wednesday in August and the third Wednesday in December.
If Wednesday is a public holiday, the period shall begin at
11:00 (Brussels time) on the following working day.

Each tendering period shall end at 11:00 (Brussels time) on the
Wednesday following the second and the fourth Tuesday of the
month, except on the second Wednesday in August and on the
fourth Wednesday in December.
If Wednesday is a public
holiday the period shall end at 11:00 (Brussels time) on the
previous working day.

Each tendering period shall be numbered in series starting

3.
with the first period provided for.

Article 3

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Each tender shall concern a minimum quantity of at least

1.
10 tonnes of skimmed milk powder.

Article 1

2.
The tendering security shall be EUR 26 per 100 kilo-
grams of skimmed milk powder. The tendering security shall
become the export licence security when a tender is accepted.

1.
A permanent tender is opened in order to determine the
export refund on skimmed milk powder referred to in section
9 of Annex I to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3)
in bags of at least 25 kilograms net weight and containing no
