It is, however, necessary to maintain traceability of the flows of the quantities obtained under the invitation to tender.\n(3)\nRegulation (EC) No 1573/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(4)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
