COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 846/98

of 22 April 1998

adapting Council Regulation (EC) No 2008/97 and repealing Regulation (EC) No
151/98

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2008/97 of
9 October 1997 laying down certain rules for the applica-
tion of the special arrangements for imports of olive oil
and certain other agricultural products originating in
Turkey (1), and in particular Article 8 thereof,

Whereas Decision No 1/98 of 25 February 1998 of the
EC-Turkey Association Council (2) on the trade arrange-
ments for agricultural products establishes, inter alia, the
preferential arrangements for imports of olive oil origin-
ating in Turkey applicable from 1 January 1998;

Whereas Regulation (EC) No 2008/97 provides that where
the conditions of the special arrangements provided for in
the Association Agreement are amended, in particular as
regards the amounts, or where a new agreement
is
concluded, the resultant adjustments to that Regulation
may be adopted by the Commission in accordance with
the procedure laid down in Article 38 of Council Regula-
tion No 136/66/EEC (3), as last amended by Regulation
(EC) No 1581/96 (4);

Whereas the special arrangements for imports of olive oil
from Turkey provided for in Decision No 1/98 of the
EC-Turkey Association Council adjust in particular the
reductions in the customs duty applicable from 1 January
1998; whereas Regulation (EC) No 2008/97 should
accordingly be adapted to incorporate those reductions in
place of the amounts provided for pursuant to Decision
No 1/77 of the EC-Turkey Association Council (5);

Whereas the conditions of the special arrangements for
imports of olive oil from Turkey provided for in Decision
No 1/98 of the EC-Turkey Association Council make no
provision for reductions in the customs duty to be subject
to the application in Turkey of any special export charge;
whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 151/98 (6)
should therefore be repealed;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
