EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

1.  The  United Nations  Conference  on Olive Oil and  Table  olives was  held 
in Geneva  from  8 to  10 March  1993.  The  Commission,  assisted  by  the 
113  committee,  negotiated  on  behalf  of  the  European  Economic 
Community, on the basis of the directives approved by the Council. 

2.  The  Negotiating  Conference  concluded  with  the  text  of  a  Protocol 
amending  and  extending  the  International  Agreement  on  olive  Oil  and 
Table Olives, 1986. 

3.  Since  there was  no  intention  to make  any  substantive  changes  to  the 
19 86  Agreement  it  was  not  felt  to  be  necessary  to  replace  that 
Agreement  with  a new  one.  The  amendments  which  are  included  in  the 
new Protocol are as follows: 

Conversion  into ECU of all amounts previously  fixed  in US dollars, 
including  the  adoption  of  the  ECU  for  the  establishment  of  the 
administrative budget and the fixing of members' contributions, 

the  Technical  Co-operation  Fund  is  fixed  at  ECU  500,000, 
confirming  a decision  silready taken by the  outgoing  international 
Olive  Oil  council  to  fix an  amount  of  600,000  us dollars  as  from 
1 January  1994,  replacing  the  300,000  US  dollars  under  the  1986 
Agreement. 

The  Protocol  will  remain  in  force  until  31  December  199 8,  but  the 
International  olive  Oil  Council  may  extend  it  indefinitely  for 
successive period of up to 2 years each. 

4. The agreement  is open  for  signature  from  1 May  until  31 December  1993 

at the Headquarters of the United Nations  in New York. 

5. In  conformity  with  Article  8,  the  Protocol  will  enter  into  force 
definitively  only  if  at  least  5  countries  holding  85%  of  the  votes 
have  deposited  the  appropriate  instruments  to  become  members.  The 
Community holds 76.2% of the votes. 

PROPOSAL 

The Commission proposes to the Council: 

(i)  to  agree  by  31  October  at  the  latest  on  the  signature  and

3.

Agreement  as amended  and  extended  by this Protocol  but  has not yet entered 
into force either  provisionally  or definitively, the Council may decide to 
prolong  this Protocol  until  the new Agreement  enters  into  force  provisionally 
or definitively.

4.

article, this Protocol, as prolonged,  shall  terminate  upon  the entry  into 
force of the new Agreement.. 

The Council may  at any time decide? to terminate  this Protocol with effect 

5. 
from  such date as  it may determine.

FINANCIAL  IMPLICATIONS 

The  Community  contribution  to  the  administrative  budget  of  the 
International  Olive  oil  Council  is  covered  by  line  B2-516  of  the 
Community  budget.  The  contribution  arising  from the  new  Protocol will 
be  higher  than  the  present  one  in  view  of  the  fact  that  all 
participants  at the conference considered  it appropriate to confirm the 
decision  taken  in  1992  to  increase  the  Technical  Co-operation  Fund  as 
from  1  January  1994.  The  Community's  votes  for  the  purposes  of 
financial contributions  however, remain the same as in 1993, namely  762 
for the Administrative  budget and 774 for the Promotional Fund.
