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 inoils and fats(
1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(2),
and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2261/84 of 17 July 1984
laying down general rules on the granting of aid for the production of
olive oil and of aid to olive oil producer organisations(3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1639/98(4), and in particular Article
19 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1638/98 of 20 July 1998
amending Regulation No 136/66/EEC on the establishment of acommon organisation of the market in oils and fats(
5), as amended by
Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(6), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)Under Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1638/98 no olive grower
aid may be paid in respect of additional olive trees planted after1 May 1998 or those for which no cropdeclaration has beenmade by a date to be determined. Article 5(1) of CommissionRegulation (EC) No 2366/98(
7), as last amended by Regulation
(EC) No 2070/2001(8), provides that exclusion from the aid
relates to the production of additional olive trees planted after 1May 1998 or those planted after 1 November 1995 for which nocropdeclaration has been made by 1 Ap ril 1999. However, addi-tional olive trees in connection with the conversion of an oldolive plantation or covered by a programme approved by the
Commission may qualify for aid.
(2)The production of the additional olive trees referred to in the
first subparagraph of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1638/98is not significant in the first three years after planting. However,from the 2002/03 marketing year, the production from these
trees will become significant and must be taken into considera-
tion for the purposes of exclusion from the production aidscheme. It is therefore necessary to provide for a system ofcalculation based on the quantity of virgin oil produced, thenumber of olive trees in production planted before and after 1
May 1998, and coefficients allowing oil production from addi-
tional olive trees which is not eligible for aid to be deductedfrom overall production. These coefficients are established onthe basis of the forecast evolution of yields in relation to theage of the plantings.
(3)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordancewith the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils andFats,2002R1249 — EN — 01.11.2002 — 001.001 — 2

yield per adult olive tree by the sum of:

— the number of additional olive trees planted between 1
November 1998 and 31 October 1999, multiplied by 0,35.
The average yield per adult olive tree shall be calculated by dividing
the quantity of virgin olive oil produced, as referred to in Article12(1)(b), by the sum of:
— the number of olive trees in production planted before 1 May
1998, and
— the number of olive trees in production planted between 1 May
