COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1039/2006

of 7 July 2006

opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale on the Community market of sugar held by the intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia and Sweden

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 40(2)(d) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 39(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 952/2006 of 29 June 2006 on the management of the internal sugar market and the quota regime (2), and in particular Article 40(2)(d) thereof,

(2)

Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia and Sweden have intervention stocks of sugar. In order to respond to market needs, it is appropriate to make these stocks available on the internal market.

(3)

To take account of the situation on the Community market, provision should be made for the Commission to fix a minimum selling price for each partial invitation to tender.

(4)

The intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia and Sweden should communicate the tenders to the Commission. The tenderers should remain anonymous.

(5)

The second paragraph of Article 59 of Regulation (EC) No 952/2006 provides that Commission Regulation (EC) No 1262/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards the buying in and sale of sugar by intervention agencies (3) continues to apply to sugar accepted into intervention before 10 February 2006. However, for the resale of intervention sugar, this distinction is unnecessary and its implementation would create administrative difficulties for the Member States. It is therefore appropriate to exclude the application of Regulation (EC) No 1262/2001 to the resale of intervention sugar.

(6)

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia and Sweden shall offer for sale by standing invitation to tender on the Community internal market a total quantity of 1 370 636,672 tonnes of sugar accepted into intervention and available for sale on the internal market. The quantities involved per Member State are set out in Annex I.

Tenders submitted shall be communicated in electronic form according to be the model laid down in the Annex II.

When no tenders are submitted, the Member State shall communicate this to the Commission within the same time limit.

Article 4

1.   The Commission shall fix per Member State concerned the minimum sale price or decide not to accept the tenders in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 39(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.

2.   Where an award at a minimum price set pursuant to paragraph 1 would result in the available quantity for the Member State concerned being exceeded, that award shall be limited to such quantity as is still available.

Where awards for a Member State to all tenderers offering the same price would result in the quantity for that Member State being exceeded, then the quantity available shall be awarded as follows:

(a)

by division among the tenderers concerned in proportion of the total quantities in each of their tenders; or

(b)

by apportionment among the tenderers concerned by reference to a maximum tonnage fixed for each of them; or

(c)

by drawing of lots.

Article 5

By way of derogation from the second paragraph of Article 59 of Regulation (EC) No 952/2006, that Regulation shall apply to the resale, as referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation, of sugar accepted into intervention before 10 February 2006.

Article 6

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
