Whereas:

(1)

Given the current situation on the skimmed milk powder market in terms of demand and prices and the level of intervention stocks it is appropriate to open the sale of skimmed milk powder from intervention by a tendering procedure in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 1272/2009 of 11 December 2009 laying down common detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards buying-in and selling of agricultural products under public intervention (2).

(2)

In order to better manage the sales from intervention, a date shall be fixed before which the intervention skimmed milk powder should have entered into storage to be available for sale.

(3)

Article 40(4)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1272/2009 provides that it is necessary to lay down the time limits for the submission of tenders.

(4)

According to Article 45 of Regulation (EU) No 1272/2009 the time limit to notify all admissible tenders by the intervention agencies to the Commission should be set.

In view of increased volatility of market prices, it is appropriate to increase the amount of the tendering security, by derogation from Article 44(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1272/2009.
