THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European EconomicCommunity;
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC (
1)o f2 2
September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization ofthe market in oils and fats, as last amended by Regulation (EEC)No 2727/71 (
2);
Having regard to Council Regulation No 162/66/EEC (3) of 27 October
1966 on trade in oilsand fatsbetween the Community and Greece;
Having regard to Council Regulation No 171/67/EEC (4) of 27 June
1967 on export refundsand levieson olive oil, aslas t amended byRegulation (EEC) No 444/72, (
5) and in particular Article 11 thereof;
Whereas, to ensure that the export refund system is correctly applied,
oilswith a high free fatty acid content which are produced andmarketed on a very small scale should be excluded from the refund;whereas for the same purpose subheading No 15.07 A II of theCommon Customs Tariff should be subdivided into virgin olive oiland other oil falling within the same subheading;
Whereas, if the export levy is to be fully effective, the amount of that
levy should be equal to the maximum amounts fixed in accordancewith Article 10 (2) of Regulation No 171/67/EEC; whereas, however,
the levy isfixed only where the difference between the c.i.f. price and
the market target price for unrefined olive oil might give rise to exportswhich could lead to disturbances on the Community market;
Whereas since the volume of traditional exports in small containers is
not noticeably affected by the trend of world prices, provision shouldbe made for an exemption from the levy in respect of these exports;whereas, however, an exemption in excess of the lowest packagingcosts could lead to speculative exports in small containers; whereas
the exemption should therefore be limited to the level of these costs;
Whereasthe meas uresprovided for in thisRegulation are in accor-
dance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Oilsand
Fats;
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The export refund shall be granted only on olive oils with a free fatty
