Decision 2002/882/EC should be amended to permit the commitments and the payments of grant funds and loan disbursements beyond 9 November 2004.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, (3),
Whereas Article 11 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC established arrangements for aid for the consumption of olive oil produced and marketed within the Community;
Whereas, in order that the arrangements for aid for consumption achieve their objectives and to prevent olive oil imported from third countries from deriving undue benefit from the aid, Article 9 of a Council Regulation (EEC) No 3089/78 of 19 December 1978 laying down general rules in respect of aid for the consumption of olive oil (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2380/79 (5), lays down that all olive oil imported from non-member countries and placed in free circulation within the Community shall be subject to payment of a security, with the exception of oil put up in small containers;
Whereas it has been found during the 1979/80 marketing year that an abnormal increase in the imports of olive oil in small containers has taken place ; whereas the administrations in question have great difficulty in checking the final destination of the said oil ; whereas, in these circumstances, the said oil could derive undue benefit from the consumption aid ; whereas, in order to rectify this situation, all imports of olive oil, in whatever form they are put up, should be subject to provision of a security,

However, in the event of a decision entailing a substantial alteration in the consumption aid, the Commission may adjust, as from the date of that decision, the amount of the security to take account of the alteration in question.
2. The security referred to in paragraph 1 shall be released as soon as the party concerned provides proof that the olive oil placed in free circulation has been made ineligible for consumption aid.".
