THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 923/96 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 39/1999 (4), lays down the procedures and conditions for the disposal of cereals held by the intervention agencies;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1760/98 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2804/98 (6), opened a standing invitation to tender for the export of 1 700 000 tonnes of barley held by the French intervention agency; whereas, France informed the Commission of the intention of its intervention agency to increase by 200 000 tonnes the quantity for which a standing invitation to tender for export has been opened; whereas the total quantity of barley held by the French intervention agency for which a standing invitation to tender for export has been opened should be increased to 1 900 000 tonnes;
Whereas this increase in the quantity put out to tender makes it necessary to alter the list of regions and quantities in store; whereas Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1760/98 must therefore be amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
