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, and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 990/2006 opened standing invitations to tender for the export of cereals held by the intervention agencies of the Member States.
(2)
Recently, the resale of rye on the internal market has sharply increased. This is due in particular to the more favourable conditions for resale on the internal market under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1483/2006 of 6 October 2006 opening standing invitations to tender for the resale on the Community market of cereals held by the intervention agencies of the Member States.
(3)
In view of this situation and in order to make the quantities of rye currently covered by the standing invitation to tender under Regulation (EC) No 990/2006 available for resale on the internal market, the quantity covered by those invitations to tender should be reduced by 96 150 tonnes for Germany.
(4)
Regulation (EC) No 990/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
