COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 946/90
of 11 April 1990
opening a standing invitation to tender for the sale of unprocessed dried grapes (sultanas) from the 1988 harvest intended for specific uses
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1125/89 (2), and in particular Article 8 (8) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1277/84 of 8 May 1984 laying down general rules for the system of production aid for processed fruit and vegetables (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2367/89 (4), and in particular Article 6 (1) thereof,
Whereas Article 6 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 626/85 of 12 March 1985 on the purchasing, selling and storage of unprocessed dried grapes and figs by storage agencies (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2328/88 (6), stipulates that such products, intended for specific uses yet to be determined, must be sold at prices fixed in advance or determined by an invitation to tender;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3205/85 (7) provides for the sale by invitation to tender of unprocessed dried grapes for specific uses;
Whereas the Greek storage agencies still hold approximately 15 650 tonnes of unprocessed dried grapes (sultanas) from the 1988 harvest; whereas these currants cannot be marketed for human consumption as such without a risk of disrupting the market;
Whereas it is therefore appropriate that the greater quantity be the subject of a standing invitation to tender for their use as laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3205/85;
Whereas the processing security provided for in Article 1 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3205/85 should be fixed in accordance with the market price of products intended for human consumption;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
