1.For cereals and rice:
(a)each intervention centre shall have a minimum storage capacity of:
20 000 tonnes for cereals, for the sum of all storage places;
10 000 tonnes for rice, for the sum of all storage places;
(b)each storage place shall:
have a minimum storage capacity of 5 000 tonnes in respect of purchases from the intervention period starting in 2012/2013;
be built or suitable for the storage and keeping in good condition of cereals and rice, as referred to in paragraph 3;
have available the necessary technical equipment to take over cereals and rice;
be able to remove the quantities in order to comply with the removal period determined in Article 51(2).
For the purpose of this paragraph, the ‘minimum storage capacity’ for an intervention centre means a minimum capacity which may not be available permanently, but a readily achievable capacity during the period when buying-in might take place. The minimum storage capacity shall apply for all the cereals and varieties of rice to be bought in.
Where storage places have ready access to a river, a sea or a railway connection, the minimum storage capacity fixed in point (b)(i) of the first subparagraph shall not apply.
2.For butter or for skimmed milk powder, each storage place shall have a minimum storage capacity of 400 tonnes. The minimum storage capacity requirement shall not apply where the storage place has ready access to a river, sea or railway connection.
3.In the case of skimmed milk powder, butter, cereals and rice, the storage places must:
(a)be dry, well maintained and free of vermin;
(b)be free of extraneous odours;
(c)permit good ventilation, except for cold stores.
4.In the case of butter, the intervention agencies shall lay down technical standards, providing in particular for a storage temperature equal or lower than - 15 oC, and shall take any other measures necessary to ensure that the butter is properly conserved.
5.In the case of products of the beef and veal sector, hereinafter referred to as ‘beef’, the storage places shall be selected by the Member States with a view to ensuring the effectiveness of intervention measures. The facilities at those storage places shall permit:
(a)bone-in meat to be taken over;
(b)freezing of all meat to be preserved without further processing;
(c)storage of such meat for at least three months under technically satisfactory conditions.
Only storage places whose cutting plants and refrigeration plants are unconnected with the slaughterhouse and/or the successful tenderer and which are operated, managed and staffed independently of the slaughterhouse and/or the successful tenderer may be selected for bone-in meat intended for boning. However, where practical difficulties occur in meeting these requirements within the processing chain, Member States may derogate from these requirements, provided that they tighten controls at the time of acceptance in accordance with Part III(5) of Annex III.
Save for specific derogations provided for in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 195(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the cold stores located in the Member State exercising jurisdiction over the intervention agency shall be capable of holding all boned beef allocated by the intervention agency for at least three months under technically satisfactory conditions.
