COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 576/88

of 1 March 1988

amending Regulation (EEC) No 583/86 laying down detailed rules for the application of accession compensatory amounts to olive oil

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3985/87 (2), and in particular Article 15 (1) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 473/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down the general rules for the system of accession compensatory amounts for olive oil (3), and in particular Article 7 (1) thereof,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 introduces a combined nomenclature as from 1 January 1988; whereas the combined nomenclature codes should accordingly be inserted in Regulation (EEC) No 583/86;

Whereas there is a risk that quantities of olive-pomace oil exported from Spain may be released for consumption upon payment of an incorrect accession compensatory amount owing to a small change in the characteristics of the product; whereas that practice would lead to distortion of competition as the original quality could easily be restored; whereas suitable measures including in particular the application of Regulation (EEC) No 2823/87 (4) should be therefore adopted; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 583/86 (5) should be amended accordingly;

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