COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2429/95 of 16 October 1995 on an invitation to tender for the refund  on export of wholly milled round grain rice to certain third countries
THE  COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of  the market in rice  (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1530/95  (2), and in particular  Article 14 thereof,
Whereas examination of the balance sheet shows that exportable amounts of rice are currently held  by producers; whereas this situation could affect the normal development of producer prices during  the 1995/96 marketing year;
Whereas, in order to remedy this situation, it is appropriate to make use of export refunds to  zones which may be supplied by the Community; whereas the special situation of the rice market  makes it necessary to limit the quantities of rice benefiting from the refunds, and therefore to  apply Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 enabling the amount of refund to be fixed by  tendering procedure;
Whereas it should be stated that the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 584/75 of 6 March  1975 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of tendering for export refunds  on rice  (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 299/95  (4), apply to this invitation to  tender;
Whereas, in order to avoid disturbances on the markets of the producing countries, the markets of  destination should be limited to Zones I to VI and Zone VIII, excluding Guyana, Madagascar and  Suriname, noted in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2145/92  (5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No  3304/94  (6);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Cereals,
