                           EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.  The United Nations Conference on Olive Oil and Table olives was held
    in Geneva from 8 to 10 March 1993. The Commission, assisted by the
    113 committee, negotiated on behalf of the European Economic
    Community, on the basis of the directives approved by the Council.
2.  The Negotiating Conference concluded with the text of a Protocol
    amending and extending the International Agreement on olive Oil and
    Table Olives, 1986.
3.  Since there was no intention to make any substantive changes to the
    19 86 Agreement it was not felt to be necessary to replace that
    Agreement with a new one. The amendments which are included in the
    new Protocol are as follows:
        Conversion into ECU of all amounts previously fixed in US dollars,
        including the adoption of the ECU for the establishment of the
        administrative budget and the fixing of members' contributions,
        the Technical Co-operation Fund is fixed at ECU 500,000,
        confirming a decision silready taken by the outgoing international
        Olive Oil council to fix an amount of 600,000 us dollars as from
        1 January 1994, replacing the 300,000 US dollars under the 1986
        Agreement.
   The Protocol will remain in force until 31 December 199 8, but the
   International olive Oil Council may extend it indefinitely for
   successive period of up to 2 years each.
4. The agreement is open for signature from 1 May until 31 December 1993
   at the Headquarters of the United Nations in New York.
5. In conformity with Article 8, the Protocol will enter into force
   definitively only if at least 5 countries holding 85% of the votes
   have deposited the appropriate instruments to become members. The
   Community holds 76.2% of the votes.

                         FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The Community contribution to the administrative budget of the
International Olive oil Council is covered by line B2-516 of the
Community budget. The contribution arising from the new Protocol will
be higher than the present one in view of the fact that all
participants at the conference considered it appropriate to confirm the
decision taken in 1992 to increase the Technical Co-operation Fund as
from 1 January 1994. The Community's votes for the purposes of
financial contributions however, remain the same as in 1993, namely 762
for the Administrative budget and 774 for the Promotional Fund.
