THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 on the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (1), and in particular Article 3 (1) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September of 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (2), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 974/95 of 28 April 1995 on certain transitional measures required to implement the Uruguay Round Agreement (4) lays down rules to ensure the harmonious transition between the system existing before the date of entry into force of the abovementioned agreement and the system existing from that date, in particular with regard to the issuing of export licences for quantities corresponding to those normally disposed of during the period concerned;

Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with those rules on quantities in the olive oil sector the issuing of transitional export licences should be limited to the quantities allocated under the standing invitation to tender opened by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2517/94 (5);
