COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 581/2004

of 26 March 2004

opening a standing invitation to tender for export refunds concerning certain types of butter

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

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,

— all other destinations except Andorra, Cyprus, Estonia,
Gibraltar, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland,
Slovakia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, the United States of
America and Vatican City.

The tendering procedure is subject to the conditions set

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

Whereas:

Article 2

(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 certain types of butter.

has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by
its chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

1.

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.
