Whereas Article 36a (3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC states that the Council is to adopt criteria for mobilizing on the Community market oil and other vegetable oils for supply as food aid;

Whereas where it is not suitable to use intervention stocks of olive oil and where, with regard to the other oils, there are no intervention stocks mobilization should be by purchase on the Community market as a whole;
Whereas to effect mobilization on the best terms and to ensure equality of treatment of all operators established in the Community, tendering is the most appropriate procedure for the purchase of oil and its supply at the stage required; whereas, however, provision should be made for other procedures to be used when only small quantities are to be mobilized,

Article 2
1. If an intervention agency holds stocks of olive oil of the quality required, these shall be used provided that transport and packaging can be carried out in a satisfactory way and at a reasonable cost.
2. If the requirements of paragraph 1 cannot be met, the olive oil shall be purchased on the Community market as a whole.
3. Other vegetable oils shall be purchased on the Community market as a whole.
Article 3
1. If olive oil held by intervention agencies is to be used, an invitation to tender shall be opened for loading, unloading, packaging and transport to a place to be specified.
2. Purchasing under Article 2 (2) and (3) shall be carried out by means of an invitation to tender for supply of the product at a stage to be specified.
3. The terms of invitations to tender shall guarantee equality of access and treatment to all interested parties whatever the location of their establishment in the Community.
4. However, if the quantities to be mobilized are relatively small, it may be decided to use a direct-agreement procedure.
Article 4
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
