3. 4. 89 Official Journal of the European Communities NoC 82/17 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social 
Committee, 
Whereas, when the production target price for olive oil is 
fixed, account should be taken of the objectives of the 
common agricultural policy and of the contribution which 
the Community desires to make to the harmonious 
development of world trade; whereas the objectives of the 
common agricultural policy are, in particular, to ensure a 
fair standard of living for the agricultural community, and 
to ensure that supplies are available and that they reach 
consumers at reasonable prices; 
Whereas the target price referred to above must be fixed in 
accordance with the criteria laid down in Articles 4 and 6 of 
Regulation No 136/66/EEC; 
Whereas, if producers are to receive a fair income, 
production aid must be fixed in the light of the impact 
which the consumption aid has on part only of production; 
Whereas the intervention price must be fixed in accordance 
with the criteria laid down in Article 8 of Regulation No 
136/66/EEC; 
Whereas, as a result of the application of Articles 68 and 
236 of the Act of Accession, the intervention price for olive 
oil in Spain and Portugal differs from the common prices; 
whereas, after the adjustment of the acquis communautaire 
with relation to oils and fats, the detailed rules for the 
alignment of intervention prices for olive oil applicable in 
Spain and Portugal are those provided for in the second 
indents of Articles 92(2) and 290(2) of the Act of Accession; 
Whereas Articles 95 and 293 of the Act of Accession 
provide for the granting of Community aid for the 
production of olive oil in Spain and Portugal; whereas, 
pursuant to Articles 79 and 246 of that Act, the amounts of 
the Community aid in Spain and Portugal should be aligned 
on the common aid at the beginning of the marketing year; 
whereas the rules on that alignment result in the Spanish 
and Portuguese aid rates shown below; 
Whereas the production target price and the intervention 
price are fixed for a specific standard quality; whereas the 
reasons which led to the determination of the standard 
quality for the 1981/82 marketing year are still valid; 
whereas that standard quality should therefore remain 
unchanged; 
Whereas, pursuant to Article 5(4) of Regulation No 136/ 
66/EEC, a percentage of the production aid earmarked for 
olive-oil producers may be allocated to the financing of 
regional measures to improve the quality of olive oil production; whereas such measures are necessary in 
certain production regions; whereas a part of the said aid 
should therefore be allocated to the financing of such 
measures; 
Whereas, in accordance with Article 20d (1) of Regulation 
No 136/66/EEC, the percentage of the production aid 
which may be withheld for recognized organizations of 
olive-oil producers or associations thereof should be so 
fixed that the resulting amount helps to finance the 
expenditure incurred in the work done pursuant to Articles 
5(3) and 20c of that Regulation; whereas that percentage 
should be set at a level which enables foreseeable 
expenditure in the 1989/90 marketing year to be covered, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
For the 1989/90 marketing year, the production target 
price, the production aid and the intervention price for 
olive oil shall be as follows:
