Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that,
where prices within the Community are higher than
world market prices, the difference between these prices
may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to
third countries.

The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds
on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation
(EEC) No 616/72 (2).

Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that
the refund must be the same for the whole Community.

In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No
136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in
the light of
the existing situation and outlook in
relation to olive oil prices and availability on the
Community market and olive oil prices on the world
market. However, where the world market situation is
such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot
be determined, account may be taken of the price of
the main competing vegetable oils on the world market
and the difference recorded between that price and the
price of olive oil during a representative period. The
amount of the refund may not exceed the difference
between the price of olive oil
in the Community and
that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate,

limited to certain countries of destination, quantities,
qualities and presentations.

The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No
136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may
be varied according to destination where the world
market situation or the specific requirements of certain
markets make this necessary.

The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It
if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
