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.\n(4)\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(5)\nTo 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 should be made compulsory.\n(6)\nTo 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.\n(7)\nWith 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.\n(8)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
