COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1482/2006

of 6 October 2006

opening standing invitations to tender for the resale on the Community market of common wheat and rye held by the intervention agencies of the Member States for processing into flour in the Community

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 and the second paragraph of Article 24 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Under Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 of 28 July 1993 laying down the procedure and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies (2), cereals held by intervention agencies are to be sold by tendering procedure at a selling price which is not below the price recorded on the market at the place of storage or, failing that, on the nearest market, account being taken of transport costs, for an equivalent quality and for a representative quantity preventing market disturbance.

(2)

The Member States have intervention stocks of common wheat and rye.

(3)

Due to adverse weather conditions at the time of the 2006 harvest, the quantity of breadmaking cereals is insufficient to meet the internal demand of some Member States. Sales on the Community market may therefore be organised by tendering procedure with a view to processing common wheat and rye into flour. Each sale should be considered to be a separate invitation to tender.

(4)

To take account of the situation on the Community market, provision should be made for the Commission to manage this invitation to tender. In addition, provision must be made for an award coefficient for tenders offering the minimum selling price.

(5)

To enable checks on the particular destination of the stocks covered by these tendering procedures, provision should be made for specific monitoring of the delivery of the common wheat and rye and its processing into flour. To permit this monitoring, application of the procedures laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92 of 16 October 1992 laying down common detailed rules for verifying the use and/or destination of products from intervention (3) should be made compulsory.

(6)

To guarantee proper performance, tenderers should be required to lodge a security which, in view of the nature of the operations concerned, should be fixed by derogation from Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93, in particular as regards its level, which must be sufficient to guarantee the proper use of the products, and the conditions for its release, which must include proof of processing of the products into flour.

(7)

With a view to the sound management of the system, provision should be made for the electronic transmission of the information required by the Commission. It is important for the notification by the intervention agencies to the Commission to maintain the anonymity of the tenderers.

(8)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The intervention agencies of the Member States shown in Annex I shall open standing invitations to tender for the sale on the Community market of common wheat and rye held by them, for processing into flour. The maximum quantities of the two cereals covered by the invitations to tender shall be as shown in Annex I.

Article 2

The sales referred to in Article 1 shall be carried out under the terms laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93.

Article 3

Tenders shall be valid only if they are accompanied by:

(a)

proof that the tenderer has lodged a security which, notwithstanding the second subparagraph of Article 13(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93, is set at EUR 10 per tonne;

(b)

the tenderer’s written undertaking to use the common wheat or rye for processing within the Community into flour within 60 days of its release from intervention storage and in any event before 31 July 2007 and to lodge a security of EUR 40 per tonne within two working days of the day on which the notice of award of contract is received;

(c)

an undertaking to keep stock records so that checks may be carried out to ensure that the quantities of common wheat and rye awarded have been processed into flour on Community territory.

Article 4

1. The deadline for the submission of tenders for the first partial invitation to tender shall be 13.00 (Brussels time) on 11 October 2006.

The closing dates for the submission of tenders for subsequent partial invitations to tender shall be each Wednesday at 13.00 (Brussels time), with the exception of 27 December 2006, 4 April and 16 May 2007, i.e. weeks when no invitation to tender shall be made.

The deadline for the submission of tenders for the last partial invitation to tender shall be 27 June 2007 at 13.00 (Brussels time).

2. Tenders must be lodged with the intervention agencies concerned at the addresses shown in Annex I.

Article 5

Within four hours of the expiry of the deadline for the submission of tenders laid down in Article 4(1), the intervention agencies concerned shall notify the Commission of tenders received. If no tenders are received, the Member State shall notify the Commission within the same time limits. If the Member State does not send a communication to the Commission within the given deadline, the Commission shall consider that no tender has been submitted in the Member State concerned.

The notifications provided for in the first paragraph shall be sent electronically, in accordance with the model in Annex II. A separate form for each type of cereal shall be sent to the Commission for each open invitation to tender. The tenderers shall not be identified.

Article 6

1. Under the procedure laid down in Article 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003, the Commission shall set the minimum selling price for the common wheat or rye or decide not to award any quantities.

2. If the fixing of a minimum price, in accordance with paragraph 1, would lead to an overrun on the maximum quantity available to a Member State, an award coefficient may be fixed at the same time for the quantities offered at the minimum price in order to comply with the maximum quantity available to that Member State.

Article 7

1. The security referred to in Article 3(a) shall be released in full in respect of quantities for which:

(a)

no award is made;

(b)

payment of the selling price is made within the period set and the security referred to in Article 3(b) has been lodged.

2. The security referred to in Article 3(b) shall be released in proportion to the quantities of common wheat or rye used for the production of flour in the Community.

Article 8

1. Proof that the undertakings referred to in Article 3(b) have been met shall be supplied in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92.

2. In addition to the particulars provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92, box 104 of the control copy T5 shall refer to the undertaking provided for in Article 3(b) and (c) and contain one or more of the entries shown in Annex III.

Article 9

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 6 October 2006.
