(1) The intervention period for maize and sorghum ends on 30 April in the south and 31 may in the north. In view of the uncertainty as regards outlets, this is likely to induce operators to offer substantial quantities of maize and sorghum for intervention at the end of May in the north, although certain market outlets may be found after the end of the intervention period.

(2) The conditions governing the buying-in of cereals are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 of 19 June 2000 fixing the procedure and conditions for the take-over of cereals by intervention agencies(3).
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
