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.

The Slovak intervention agency shall open a standing invitation
to tender for the sale on the Community market of 100 000
tonnes of maize held by it.

Article 2

The sale provided for in Article 1 shall take place in accordance
with Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93.

However, notwithstanding that Regulation:

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

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

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

(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.

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
