THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Commission Regulation (EC) No 309/2009 (2) has closed on 15 April 2009 the intervention buying-in of skimmed milk powder at fixed price open for the period 1 March to 31 August 2009 because the offers have exceeded the quantity 109 000 tonnes set out in Article 13(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. |

(2) |
In order to continue to support the skimmed milk powder market, a tendering procedure should be opened. |

In view of the special situation on the dairy market and in order that the system is more efficient, it is appropriate to increase, by way of derogation, the frequency of the tenders to twice a month. |
|
(5) |
In order to be able to start buying-in of skimmed milk powder by a tendering procedure without delay after the closure of the intervention buying-in at fixed price, this Regulation should enter into force as soon as possible. |
|
(6) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets, |
