(3)  After accession, the references to Bulgaria and Romania as countries of destination for export refunds and levies in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2145/92 of 29 July 1992 redefining the destination zones for export refunds, export levies and certain export licenses for cereals and rice (14) should be deleted. (4) With Romania’s accession, Constanta becomes a Commu- nity port. As a result, the second subparagraph of Atrticle 7(2a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/1993 ceases to be relevant and should therefore be adapted.

That quota should therefore be deleted. (7)  Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice set out, following the conclusion of trade agreements between the European Community and Bulgaria and Romania, a specific proce- dure for exports of cereal products to those countries. These rules should be adapted to take account of the accession of the two countries to the European Union. (8)  Following the accession of Bulgaria and Romania, the pro- visions of Article 1(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 936/2006 (1#) lapse as regards the exclusion of Bul- garia and Romania from the invitation to tender for com- mon wheat for export to third countries, and should therefore be deleted.
