1 , This proposal for a regulation is intended to define the conditions governing the
    application of the system of production refunds for olive oil used in the manufac­
    ture of certain preserved foods (fish , vegetables ), within the context of the appli­
    cation of the new system for the fixing of levies "by tender laid down "by the
    Council on 15 March 1976 in its Regulation ( EEC ) N OS 6OI/76 and 602/76 laying down
    special measures in particular for the determination of the offers of olive oil on
    the world market and on the Greek market .
    Pursuant to Commission Regulations ( EEC ) Nos 155/71 and 6l5/71 » the production refuni
    is at present fixed every two months and the amount of the refund is equal to the
    average of the variable components of the levies on imports of olive oil falling
    within subheading 15-07 A I a) of the Common Customs Tariff during the peri od from
    the 16th day of the third month to the 15th day of the last month preceding that in
    which the refund is first applied .
2 . Since it is no longer possible to meet the criteria for fixing the refund owing to
    the fixing of the levy by tendering procedure , it is necessaiy to supplement the
    system referred to in paragraph 1 by laying down criteria for the fixing of the
    refund in cases where the tendering procedure is applied .
