Whereas, if the control is to be properly effected, the application to
have it effected should be submitted in good time and should containcertain basic information; whereas, to that same end, manufacturers of
fish and vegetable preserves should be required to keep stock accounts
indicating the quantity and origin of the olive oil used;
Whereas the control must extend over a period which will allow
processors to plan their production in the light of cost prices and to
obtain supplies of olive oil; whereas, for the same reasons, the refundto be granted should be the refund valid on the day on which the appli-cation to have the control effected is submitted;
Whereas, to enable the parties concerned to buy the olive oil they
require, Member States should be free to pay the amount of the refundin advance, subject to the provision of a security;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 615/71 (
