Whereas Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1581/86 of 23 May 1986 laying down general rules for intervention on the market in cereals (3) lays down that invitations to tender are to be organized for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies;

Whereas Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 of 7 July 1982 laying down the procedure and conditions for the disposal of cereals held by intervention agencies (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2418/87 (5), provides for the possibility of restricting the use of cereals sold for specific uses and/or destinations;
