COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 115/2005

of 26 January 2005

opening an invitation to tender for the refund on common wheat exports to certain third countries

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 13(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Given the present market situation for cereals, an invitation to tender for the export refund on common wheat should be opened in accordance with Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals (2).

(2)

The tendering procedure rules to be followed for establishing export refunds are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1501/95. The requirements under that procedure include an obligation to submit an application for an export licence and lodge a security. The rate of that security should be established.

(3)

A specific period of validity must be set for the licences issued under this invitation to tender. That validity period should be commensurate with world market requirements for the 2004/2005 marketing year.

(4)

To ensure that all parties are treated equally, all licences issued should have the same period of validity.

(5)

To forestall reimportation refunds should be awarded only for exportation to certain third countries.

(6)

The satisfactory operation of tendering procedures for exports requires that a minimum quantity be set, and that the time limit and means of transmission for tenders lodged with the competent authority be established.

(7)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
