THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulations (EC) No 1164/2005 (2), (EC) No 1165/2005 (3), (EC) No 1168/2005 (4), (EC) No 1700/2005 (5) and (EC) No 1845/2005 (6) open standing invitations to tender for the resale on the Community market of maize held by the Czech, Hungarian, Austrian, Polish and Slovak intervention agencies. Those invitations to tender expire on 28 June 2006.
(2) In order to guarantee livestock farmers and the livestock-feed industry supplies at competitive prices at the beginning of the 2006/2007 marketing year, the stocks of maize held by the Czech, Hungarian, Austrian, Polish and Slovak intervention agencies should continue to be made available on the cereal market.
(3) In the context of this extension, however, the weeks from 28 June 2006 when no invitation to tender will be made were not specified. Tenders could thus be lodged in good faith by traders during those weeks, although no Management Committee meetings are scheduled.
(4) Regulations (EC) No 1164/2005, (EC) No 1165/2005, (EC) No 1168/2005, (EC) No 1700/2005 and (EC) No 1845/2005 should be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
