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 Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1630/2000(4), lays down the procedures and conditions for the disposal of cereals held by the intervention agencies.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 953/2002(5), opened a standing invitation to tender for the export of 30000 tonnes of barley held by the Belgian intervention agency. Belgium informed the Commission of the intention of its intervention agency to increase by 28081 tonnes the quantity for which a standing invitation to tender for export has been opened. The total quantity of barley held by the Belgian intervention agency for which a standing invitation to tender for export has been opened should be increased to 58081 tonnes.
(3) This increase in the quantity put out to tender makes it necessary to alter the list of regions and quantities in store. Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 953/2002 must therefore be amended.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
