EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

Annexes  B  to  the  Cooperation  Agreements  and  Annexes  B  to  the 
Interim  Agreements  between  the  European  Economic  Community  and 
Morocco  and  Algeria  respectively,  and  Annex  IV  to  Decision  n*  1/77 
to  the  EEC-Turkey  Association  Council  of  28  December  1976  on  the 
outcome  of  the  second  review  of  the  arrangements  applicable  to 
Turkish  agricultural  products,  provide  for  the  possibility  of 
increasing,  by  fixing  an  additional  amount,  the  amount  of  the 
deduction  which  may  be  made,  under  certain  conditions,  from  the 
levy  applicable  to  imports  into  the  Community  of  olive  oil  other 
than olive  oil  having  undergone  a  refining  process. 

This  additional  amount,  if  any,  is  fixed  for  each  year  of 
application  by  an  exchange  of  letters  between  the  Contracting 
Parties  in the  light  of  the  situation  on  the olive  oil  market. 

In order  to  facilitate  the  management  of  the  agreements  concerned, 
the  Commission  considers  it  appropriate  that  the  additional  amount 
should  be  maintained  at  its  present  level  until  31  December  1993 
for  Algeria, Morocco  and  Turkey. 

It  therefore  recommends  that  the  Council  authorize  it  to  negotiate 
the  attached  exchanges  of  letters with  the  countries  in  question. 

3.  In  view  of  the  time  needed  to  carry  out  the  procedures,  the 
Commission  is  now  submitting  to  the  Council  the  Decisions  on  the 
conclusion  of  the  exchange  of  letters  which  it  proposes  to 
negotiate  with  the  countries  in  question,  together  with  proposals 
for  roegulations  to  implement  the  measures  agreed  in  the  exchanges 
of  letters. 

The  Commission  proposes  that  the  Council  adopt  these  measures  as 
soon  as  it  is  informed  by  the  former  of  the  completion  of  the 
negotiations  and  of  the  final  texts of  the exchanges  of  letters.
