1 . Council Regulation No 162 / 66/ EEC on trade in oils and fats between the Community
    and Greece lays down in Article 3 thereof that the levy on imports of unrefined
    olive oil produced entirely in Greece and transported directly from that country
    into the Community shall be decreased by a standard amount , of which the level
    shall be determined annually by the Council after consultations has taken place
    with Greece .
2 . This standard amount should thus be set so that it facilitates the development
    of trade in olive oil between the Community and Greece so that it should be pro­
    moted , taking into account the availability of olive oil on the Greek market and
    on the Community market as the marketing possibilities for this product and at
    the same time without , however , prejudicing the achevement of the market target
    price for Commmunity production .
3 . Since the 1966/ 67 marketing year the amount has been fixed at 0,50 u.a. / 100 kg .
    The evolution set out in the following table of exports of olive oil from Greece
    to the Community in total compared to the overall imports of the EEC , particularly
    for the last olive oil marketing year , lead to the conclusion that the amount
    of 0,50 u.a. / 100 kg has been sufficient to fulfil its objective , namely to ensure
    that the Greek oils have a preferential position on the Community market compared
    with the oils from third countries .
    Imports of olive oil in the EEC :
                       1970 / 71 1971 / 72   1972 / 73 1973 / 74 1974 / 75 1975 / 76
    Total              210.327   167.443    250.906    193.992   122.810    53.500 ( 1 )
    of which Greece      4.222    13.206      22.484    16.744     28.212   12.403 C1 )

    ( 1 ) Based on certificats to 31 August 1976
4 . In view of the foregoing it is proposed to maintain the level of the standard
    amount at 0,50 u.a. / 100 kg for the 1976/ 77 marketing year .

                          COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC )
on the standard amount for unrefined olive oil produced entirely in Greece and trans­
ported direct from that country into the Community .
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 162/ 66/ CEE       of 27 October 1966 - on trade in
                                                   (1)
oils and fats between the Community and Greece         , and in particular Article 3(3 )
thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas , in anticipation of the harmonization of agricultural policies , trade in olive
oil between the Community and Greece should be developed , taking aacount of
  its availability    on the Greek market and on that of the Community and of the
possibilities for marketing it ;
Whereas the standard amount must be based both on the present volume of trade between
the Community and Greece and on the future prospects of both markets ;
Whereas the standard amount must represent a sufficiently high percentage of the market
target price to ensure a preferential position for Greek oils on the Community
market compared with those from third countries ; whereas , however , this amount
must be set at such a level that it does not prejudice the achievement of the
market target price for Community production ;
Whereas the standard amount , as fixed for those          years during which prices on the
Greek market have allowed the export of          oil from Greece to the Community , has
 safeguarded this preference           without creating difficulties for the marketing
of Community production ; whereas              of this amount should consequently remain
unchanged for 1976/ 1977 ;
Whereas Greece has been consulted pursuant to Article 3 ( 3 ) of Regulation No 162/ 66^EEC ,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
