application of the system of production aid for olive oil for the 1998/99, 1999/2000 and

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(2)

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22
September 1966 on the establishment of a common organ-
isation of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by
Regulation (EC) No 1638/98 (2), and in particular Article 5
thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1638/98 of 20
July 1998 amending Regulation No 136/66/EEC on the estab-
lishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and
fats, and in particular Article 2(4) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 of 17
July 1984 laying down general rules on the granting of aid for
the production of olive oil and of aid to olive oil producer
organisations (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1639/
98 (4), and in particular Article 19 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2366/98 of
30 October 1998 laying down detailed rules for the
application of the system of production aid for olive oil
for the 1998/99, 1999/2000 and 2000/2001 marketing
years (5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1273/
1999 (6), lays down that olive growers must lodge crop
declarations before 1 December of each marketing year;

as a result of the revision of the forms as part of the
process of implementing the transitional arrangements
provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1638/98, there is a
risk of a slight delay in the submission of crop declara-
tions. Since the impact of this delay will be negligible,
the deadline for submission of crop declarations should
be extended to 15 December instead of 1 December for
the 1999/2000 marketing year;

(3)

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

for the 1999/2000 marketing year olive growers may lodge
crop declarations covering their olive trees in production and
details of the olive groves they manage as at 1 November of
the marketing year to which the declarations correspond by 15
December 1999.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its
publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply from 1 November 1999.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 20 December 1999.
