COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 39/1999 of 8 January 1999 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 laying down the procedure and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies
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 2193/96 (4), lays down the procedure and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies;
Whereas transport costs vary considerably with time and some of those costs cannot be predicted, in particular where river transport is concerned; whereas for budget reasons a maximum amount should be set for such costs; whereas that amount must be set by the intervention agencies and quoted in the call for tenders;
Whereas the Slovenian port of Koper was the traditional port of exit for Austria before its accession to the European Union; whereas it is therefore necessary to include Koper as a place of exit for Community cereals so that transport costs can be reimbursed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
