1 * The system of consumption aid forolive oil provides in particular that release
    into free circulation in the Community of olive oil imported from non-member
    countries is subject to a security , the amount of which is equal to that of the
 '  consumption aid obtaining at the time of release into free circulation *
2 * The risk exists , in the event of a substantial alteration of the amount of the
    consumption aid, that operators will   gain an undue benefit from the application
    of the security system referred to above *
3 * In order to avoid this difficulty , it should be made possible to adjust the amount
    of the security as soon as the case referred to under 2 arises *
4 * Since the risk referred to at point 2 has occurred in practice during the two
    weeks preceding the end of the marketing year , following the decision of the
    Council on 16 October 1979 to increase the amount of the consumption aid as
    from 1 November 1979 , the beginning of the 1979 / 80 marketing year , the measure
    envisaged should be applied retroactively *

  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community            ,
  Having regard to Council Regulation No 136 / 66 / EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establish­
 ment of a common organization        of the market in oils and fats      , as last amended by

  Regulation ( EfC ) No 590 /.79       and m particular Article 11(4 ) thereof ,
  Having^ regard to the proposal from the Commission,
  Whereas ,         under Article 9 of Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 3089 / 78
              the amount of the security applicable to olive 'oi I ■ imported 'in bulk or in ,
  packages of a certain capacity       is        equal to thatpart of the consumption aid which
  would be paid to the packaging plants for the same quantity of ,olive oi I produced in
  the Community and obtaining at the iteme to the release of'tbe ci I into gree circula­
  tion ;
  Whereas , in the event of a substantial alteration in the consumption aid, those is a
  risk that traders         will gain an undue benefit from the application of the security
  system referred to above ; whereas , in order to avoid this difficulty , provision should
  be made to enable the amount of the security to be adjusted appropriately once the
  alteration in the aid has been decided on ;
  Whereas , in view of the increase in the aid applicable            from 1 November 1979 , the
  above-mentioned risk will in fact occur during the last two weeks preceding the
  end of the marketing year ; whereas it is therefore necessary that the adjustment
  of the securi'ty should come into effect            from the date an which speculative activity
  could take place ; whereas , moreover , the traders         concerned have been informed in
' good time of the measures envisaged ,
                                                                          > ■           - " -
