Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1413 / 82 of 18 May 1982 (OJ No L 162 of 12 June
1982 , p. 6) amended Regulation ( EEC ) No 136 / 66/ EEC by introducing in
particular an ad hoc system of organizations of olive oil producers with a view
to ensuring better management of the production aid scheme and effective
control of the production of producer members . The amendment in question
should enter into force at the beginning of the 1982 / 83 marketing year .
In the light of the above the Commission proposed to the Council general rules
concerning organizations of olive oil producers applicable from 1 November
1982 ( C0M(82 ) 397 final of 28 June 1982 ).
On 9 September 1982 the Council 's Special Committee on Agriculture noted that
two of the countries principally concerned , ( Italy and Greece ) had said that
they were not in a position , because of the late adoption by the Council of
the general rules referred to above , to apply the new arrangements for
organizations of olive oil producers from 1982 / 83 .
The commission was therefore asked to propose special measures authorizing
the granting of production aid on the basis of the quantity of olive oil
actually produced .
The attached proposal was drawn up accordingly .
The measures proposed are identical to those introduced in respect of previous
marketing years and , like them , are valid for one marketing year only
( 1982 / 83 ), pending the application of general implementing rules pursuant
to Regulation ( EEC ) No 1413 / 82 .

1 . The attached draft Regulation Lays down general rules concerning
    production aid for olive oil for 1982 / 83 and replaces , in respect of that
    marketing year , the Commission proposal of 28 June 1982 .
    It is made necessary by the fact that the amendments under Regulation
    No 1413 / 82 to the arrangements concerning organizations of olive oil
    producers cannot be applied in Italy and Greece .
2 . The draft is based mostly on the general rules for 1981 / 82 ; however , there are
    some adjustments concerning the application of the system of advance payment
    of the aid , and provisions for sanctions in the case of growers and
    associations thereof who do not comply with the requirements laid down in
    Community rules .

OBSERVATIONS :          Concerns the prolongation of general rules which were in application
                       for the previous marketing year . Consequently, the proposal has
                       no financial       incidence .
