The Grains Trade Convention 1995 was concluded by Council Decision 96/88/EC (1) and was regularly extended for further periods of two years. That Convention was extended the last time by decision of the International Grains Council in June 2011 and remains in force until 30 June 2013. A further extension is in the interest of the Union. The Commission, which represents the Union within the International Grains Council, should therefore be authorised to vote in favour of such extension.
