EC REJECTS LICENCES FOR SPANISH BARLEY The EC Commission cereals management committee rejected all bids for licences to export free market Spanish barley to non-EC countries, trade sources said. The licence requests were for 35,000 tonnes at between 143 and 145 European Currency Units (ECUs), they said. This tender was part of a special tender for 500,000 tonnes of Spanish barley. The sources said there had been no bids for licences for free market soft wheat and non-Spanish barley exports to non-EC countries.
