lopment oftrade inolive oilbetween theCommunity andGreece should be
promoted ,talcing into account theavailability ofolive oilontheGreek
market andontheCommunity market aswell asthemarketing possibilities

The standard amount should thus beset sothat itfacilitates the above
development without ,however ,prejudicing theachavement ofthemarket
target price forCommunity production .

100kg.Theevolution setoutinthefollowing table ofexports ofolive
oilfrom Greece totheCommunity intotal compared totheoverall imports
oftheEEC ,particularly forthelast olive oilmarketing year ,lead to

inoils andfats between theCommunity andGreece ,andinparticular Article 3
(3)thereof :
\
Having regard totheproposal from theCommission ;
Whereas ,inanticipation oftheharmonization ofagricultural policies ,trade
inolive oilbetween theCommunity andGreece should bedeveloped ,taking
account oftheavailability ofolive oilontheGreek market andonthat of
theCommunity and tofmarketing possibilities forthis product ;
Whereas thestandard amount must bebased both onthepresent volume oftrade
between theCommunity andGreece andonthefuture prospects ofboth markets ;
I
Whereas thestandard amount must represent asufficiently high percentage of
themarket target price toensure apreferential position forGreek oils onthe
Community market compared with those from third countries ;whereas ,however ,
this amount must beset atsuch alevel that isdoes notprejudice therealiza­
tion ofthemarket target price forCommunity production ;
Whereas thestandard amount ,asestablished fortheyears during which prices
ontheGreek market have made itpossible toexport oilfrom Greece tothe
Community ,hasensured that this preference exists without creating difficulties
forthemarketing ofCommunity production ;whereas thelevel ofthis amount should
consequently remain unchanged fortheyear 1975/1976 ; N
