COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 800/2004

of 27 April 2004

opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale on the Community market of rice from the
1996, 1997 and 1998 harvests held by the Greek intervention agency

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(8)

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22
December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in
rice (1), and in particular Article 8(b) thereof,

So that the quantities awarded can be managed accu-
rately, an allocation coefficient should be fixed for
tenders offering the minimum selling price, while
allowing tenderers
to specify a minimum quantity
awarded below which they do not wish their tender to
stand.

Whereas:

the

Commission, the tenderers should remain anonymous.

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 75/91 91 of 11
January 1991 laying down the procedures and condi-
tions for the disposal of paddy rice held by intervention
agencies (2) provides among other things that rice held
by intervention agencies is to be sold by tendering
procedure at prices avoiding market disturbance.

Greece still has intervention stocks of paddy rice from
the 1996, 1997 and 1998 harvests, the quality of which
is in danger of deteriorating if kept in prolonged storage.

In the present production situation and in view of the
concessions for rice imports granted under international
agreements and the restrictions on subsidised exports,
disposing of this rice on traditional markets inside the
Community would inevitably result in the placing of an
equivalent quantity in intervention, which should be
avoided.

This rice can be disposed of by processing it into either
broken rice or products derived therefrom, or into some
other form suitable for use in animal feed, on certain
conditions.

In order to ensure that the rice really is processed, the
specially monitored and the

The undertakings given by tenderers must be regarded as
primary requirements within the meaning of Commis-
sion Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 of 22 July 1985
laying down common detailed rules for the application
of the system of securities for agricultural products (3).

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92 (4) lays down
common detailed rules for verifying the use of products
from intervention. Procedures should also be laid down
to ensure the traceability of the products used for animal
feed.

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

ANNEX II

Treatment provided for in Article 2(2)(a)(i)

At the time of being taken over, the rice must undergo the following treatment:

1. The awarded paddy rice must be milled to give the overall minimum yield and whole grain yield previously deter-
mined by the laboratory on a sample removed when the rice for which the contract is awarded was taken over, with
a tolerance of plus or minus 1 % applicable to the overall minimum yield and whole grain yield.

2. All the wholly milled rice obtained must be broken in such a way as to produce at least 95 % broken rice within the
meaning of Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95. It may also be processed directly into products derived from
broken rice.

Treatment provided for in the first indent of Article 2(2)(b)(i)

At the time of being taken over, the rice must undergo the following treatment:
