Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1040/2000(2), and in particular Article 40 thereof,
Whereas:

It also provides for communication of the quantity of products covered by the invitation to tender. That quantity may be revised by the body issuing the invitation to tender. As a result, in order to have complete data and ensure proper administration of licences, the Member States should be required to inform the Commission of that revised quantity as soon as it comes to their attention. Certain provisions on the information to be provided on invitations to tender should also be made more specific.
(2) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
