COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2919/82

of 29 October 1982

on the corrective amount applicable in Greece in the olive oil sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Greece,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 5/81 of 1 January 1981 laying down the general rules for the system of accession compensatory amounts for olive oil (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1414/82 (2) fixed one and the same intervention price for olive oil for both Greece and the other Member States; whereas the accession compensatory amounts therefore no longer apply from 1 November 1982;

Whereas, pursuant to Article 11 of Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1413/82 (4), consumption aid is granted for olive oil produced and marketed within the Community; whereas, pursuant to Article 68 of the Act of Accession of Greece, the Community aid in question is to be progressively introduced in Greece over the transitional period; whereas during this period there thus remains a difference between the levels of aid granted in Greece and in the other Member States; whereas, as long as accession compensatory amounts were applicable in trade, they were corrected by the difference in the aid; whereas, following the abolition of accession compensatory amounts and in the absence of appropriate measures, the market in olive oil in small containers is liable to suffer serious disturbance; whereas there is a danger that this situation will continue until the consumption aids are aligned; whereas the difference between the aids should therefore be made up by applying an equivalent amount in trade in olive oil in small containers between Greece and the other Member States and between Greece and third countries;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 52/81 (5) lays down detailed rules for the application of accession compensatory amounts; whereas in the interests of sound management it should be laid down that those rules are to apply where required to the appropriate measures referred to above;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
