 ---pagebreak---                                      EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1 . This proposal for a Regulation concerns the fixing of the representative
    market price and the threshold price for olive oil for 1982 / 83 and , in respect
    of the same marketing year , the percentage of the consumption aid which is to
    finance , on the one hand , the operation of recognized trade organizations and ,
    on the other , certain measures to promote the consumption of olive oil .
2 . Under Article 7 of Council Regulation No 136/ 66/ EEC the representative market
    price is f i xed at , a^.level which permits normal marketing of the olive oil produced ,
    account being taken in particular of prices for competing products and the pro­
    bable trend of such " pri ces during the marketing year .
                   . ..                ô "    '       "
3 . Experience has shown that when there is too targe a price gap between olive oil
                 U      • -   : :      %          C ■
    and seed oiC there follows a drop in olive oil consumption , which jeopardizes
    the marketing of the crop .                        ;
                                       f               k
    The Commission has therefore stated , when submitting its proposals for represen-
                            . '        *
    tative market prices in respect of recent marketing years , that the representa-
                                                        «
    tive market price for olive oil should , in its opinion , be fixed in such a way
    as to produce a 2.3 : 1 ratio between olive oil and seed oil .
    The representative market price for 1981 / 82 was accordingly fixed at 145 ECU / 100 kg .
4 . A seed oil price rise in dollar terms on the world market in 1983 can be regarded
    as unlikely in view of the 'size of the world 's soya bean crop , in particular the
    crop in the USA .             '"
    However , monetary influences could , as in 1982 , trigger off an increase in the
    price of the oils in question on the Italian market ( the trend for Greece is not
    to be taken into consideration since seed oil imports into that Member State are
    still the subject of restrictions ).
    Seed oil prices could rise in Italy in 1983 so as to allow olive oil prices there
    to rise by 11% compared with the previous marketing year without adversely affec­
    ting the normal marketing of the Community 's production of olive oil .
    In the light of the above and of the LIT / ECU exchange rate as at 1 November 1981
    and that foreseen for 1 November 1982 , the Commission 's proposal is that the repre­
    sentative market price for olive oil for 1982 / 83 be fixed at 153.20 ECU / tonne , i.e.
    8.20 ECU more than in 1981 / 82 .

     figures for 1981 / 82 :

    Difference ( consumption aid )                   67.77        82.97
5 . Under Article 11(3 ) of Regulation Mo 136/ 66 / EEC Member States may be assisted
    by one or more recognized trade organizations in the operation of the consumption
    aid scheme . Article 11(5 ) of the said Regulation provides that the percentage of
    the consumption aid which recognized trade organizations may retain to finance
    the work they carry out is to be fixed by the Council . In the light of past
    experience , a figure of 1.7% , the same as the one applied at present , would appear
    to be both necessary and sufficient .
6 . Given the sums which are still available from amounts retained in respect of previous
    marketing years and the delays in implementing the projects undertaken , the Com­
    mission feels that , for 1982 / 83 , the percentage of the consumption aid which may
    be allocated to certain projets for the promotion of the consumption of olive oil
    may be reduced to nil .
7 . The threshold price must be fixed in such a way as to ensure that the imported
    product 's selling price is the same as the representative market price . In this
    connection the cost of unloading and placing the imported product into storage
    and the percentage of consumption aid retained should be taken into consideration .
    In the light of the above the prixe in question should be fixed at 149.58 ECU / 100
    kg .
8 . In the case of Greece , the amount of consumption aid for 1982 / 83 must be fixed
    as laid down in the Treaty of Accession . In the light of the criteria laid down
    therein , the amount of the consumption aid should be 30.91 ECU/ 100 kg , compared
    with 13.35 ECU/ 100 kg for the previous marketing year .
