THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29
September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in
cereals (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,

Whereas:

Article 1

The Hungarian intervention agency shall open a standing invi-
tation to tender for the sale on the Community market of
200 000 tonnes of maize held by it.

Article 2

The sale provided for in Article 1 shall take place in accordance

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 of 28 July
1993 laying down the procedure and conditions for
the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies (2)
provides in particular that cereals held by intervention
agencies are to be sold by tendering procedure at
prices preventing market disturbance.

Hungary has intervention stocks of maize, which should
be used up.

However, notwithstanding that Regulation:

(a)

tenders shall be drawn up on the basis of the actual quality
of the lot to which they apply;

(b) the minimum selling price shall be set at a level which does
not disturb the cereals market; it may not in any event be
lower than the intervention price in force for the month in
question, including any monthly increases.

It is therefore appropriate to make the stocks of maize
held by the Hungarian intervention agency available on
the internal market.

Article 3

Notwithstanding Article 13(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93
the tender security is set at EUR 10 per tonne.

To take account of
the situation on the Community
market, provision should be made for the Commission
to manage this invitation to tender. In addition, provision
must be made for an award coefficient
