Article 2
The intervention agencies shall conclude storage contracts with the undertakings awarded contracts for the manufacture and packaging of the products who agree to keep the latter in storage until the date of actual take-over by the bodies responsible for transport or, where appropriate, until a decision is taken by the intervention agency after consulting the Commission to release those undertakings from their obligation to store the products. Those contracts shall stipulate that the products are to be kept under suitable storage conditions against payment of a daily allowance of ECU 0,27 per tonne per day. That amount shall be converted into national currency using the rate applicable on 16 October 1991 and published in the 'C' series of the Official Journal of the European Communities. Such contracts shall entail an obligation to lodge a security in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 (7), equal to the supply security provided for in the invitation to tender. The primary requirement within the meaning of Article 20 of the abovementioned Regulation shall be storage of the product under suitable conditions until the end of the storage period as determined in Article 2.
