of 3 December 1984
on an invitation to tender for the refund on export of wholly milled long grain

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

1431 /76 of 21 June 1976 laying down general rules for
granting export refunds on rice and criteria for fixing
the amount of such refunds (3), and in particular
Article 4 thereof,
Whereas examination of the balance sheet shows that
substantial stocks of rice are currently held by produ
cers ; whereas this situation may affect the normal
development of producer prices during the 1984/85
marketing year ;

priate to make use of export refunds to zones which
may be supplied by the Community ; whereas the

be fixed by tendering procedure ;
