  "text": "Commission Regulation (EC) No 2314/2003\nof 29 December 2003\nopening a standing invitation to tender for the resale on the Community market of rye held by the German intervention agency\nTHE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,\nHaving regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,\nHaving regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals, and in particular Article 5 thereof,\nWhereas:\n(1)\nCommission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 of 28 July 1993 laying down the procedure and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies provides in particular that cereals held by intervention agencies are to be sold by tendering procedure at prices preventing market disturbance.\n(2)\nGermany still has intervention stocks of rye.\n(3)\nBecause of the difficult weather conditions in much of the Community, cereal production has been significantly reduced in the 2003/04 marketing year. This situation has resulted in high prices locally, causing particular difficulties for livestock holdings and the feedingstuffs industry, which are finding it hard to obtain supplies at competitive prices.\n(4)\nIt is therefore appropriate to make stocks of rye held by the German intervention agency available on the internal market. The period of presentation of the offers for the last partial invitation to tender under Regulation (EC) No 1510/2003 having expired on 18 December 2003, it is advisable to open a new standing invitation to tender.\n(5)\nTo 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.\n(6)\nWhen the German intervention agency notifies the Commission, the tenderers should remain anonymous.\n(7)\nWith a view to modernising management, the information required by the Commission should be sent by electronic mail.\n(8)\nThe Management Committee for Cereals has not issued an opinion by the time limit laid down by its Chairman,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
