In addition, provision must be made for an award coefficient for tenders offering the minimum selling price.(6)It is also important for the Austrian intervention agency’s notification to the Commission to maintain the anonymity of the tenderers.(7)With a view to modernising management, the information required by the Commission should be sent by electronic mail.(8)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
