THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas:

(1)
Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/932 lays down the procedure and conditions for the disposal of cereals held by intervention agencies.
(2)
Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/923 lays down common detailed rules for verifying the use and/or destination of products from intervention.
(3)

Given the current market situation, a standing invitation to tender should be opened for the export of 68 551 tonnes of common wheat held by the Belgian intervention agency.

(4)

Special rules must be laid down to ensure that the operations are properly carried out and monitored. To that end, securities should be lodged to ensure that the goals of the operation are achieved without excessive cost to the operators. Derogations should accordingly be made to certain rules, in particular those laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93.

(5)

To forestall reimportation, exports under this invitation to tender should be limited to certain third countries.

(6)

With a view to modernising the management of the system, provision should be made for the electronic transmission of the information required by the Commission.

(7)

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