fixing the ceilings on financing for measures to improve the quality of the olive oil production in the 2005/06 production cycle and derogating from Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 528/1999
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 528/1999 of 10 March 1999, laying down measures to improve the quality of olive oil production (2), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
