                 -           -  EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
    1 * The proposal for a Regulation in question provides for the fixing of the representa-
  1     tive market price and of the threshold price for olive oil for the 1980 / 81 merketing
        year as well as the percentage of consumption aid to be devoted to recognised trade
        organisations and to certain measures to promote the consumption of olive oil *
    2 * Article 7 of Council Regulation No 136 / 66 / EEC provides , that the representative
        market price for olive oil shall be fi*ed at a level permitting the normal disposal
        of production , having regard> amonjj other things , to the prices of competing products ,
        and in particular of prospects for their development over the marketing year .,
    3m Recent experience shows that periods of sharp dec line in olive oil consumption occur
        when the relationship of olive oil prices to seed oil prices is equal to , or greater
        than , 2*50 : 1 - Thus theCommission is aware of the need to ensure a more favourable        •
        relationship in order to enable olive oil consumption to pick up again *
    4 * In view of the quantities availableon the world market , there should be no signi­
        ficant rise in the prices of the oils which compete with olive        oil *
        However , the international situation might be such as to require revision of this
        forecast * Furthermore , the effect of inflation on costs and the possible movements
        on the exchange markets are further" matters which suggest-that it is not only possible
        but even probable that the prices of the oils in question , expressed in national
        currencies , will increase somewhat in 1981 , in Italy in particular *
-       In view of the price levels recorded at present for seed oils in Italy and of the          ■
        aspects discussed above , the Commission " feels that fixing the representative market
        price for 1980 / 81 at ,143-00 ECU / 100 kg should bring about an olive oil / seed oil price
        ratio of about 2*3 : 1 , which should make it possible to achieve the desired objective
                           /      .:   -       '                  '   ' •     *     *
    5 * With regard to the percentage to be deducted from the consumption aid to finance the
        tasks to be carried out by the trade organisations involved in running the consumption ,
        aid system , in view of the experience gained in Italy in this respect , the ney tasks .
        arising from the recently-adopted Community rules and the probable increase in the
        costs of services , the Commission feels that the appropriate percentage is 2 % * :
    6 * As regards the percentage to be decuted from the consumption aid for certain infor­
        mation measures , the Commission considers that it should be 2„5 %.* In view of the
        sums deducted under previous marketing years and which are still available , and of-
        measures undertaken and yet to come, a deduction of 2*5 '/. from the consumption aid
         is sufficient *
 ---pagebreak--- If this percentage were to be deducted, the funds released would be of the order
of * Mio ECU-
The threshold price is derived from the representative market price , with account
taken of a certain difference representing in particular unloading costs and the
costs of forwarding the product imported as well as of the effect of the deduction
from the consumption aid referred to at point 6-
Since the lements taken into consideration for the purpose of deciding on the diffe­
rence from the representative market price have not varied, the difference in question
may be maintained at 3,62 ECU-
Given the deduction from the consumption aid and the difference to be taken into
consideration, the Commission proposes that the threshold price be fixed at
140-61 ECU / 100 kg-

Whereas to avoid any discontinuity it is necessary to prolong the 1979 / 80 marketing
    year for a period such as to allow these prices to be fixed ;
 Whereas      for the period of prolongation it is advisable ;to maintain the situation
    existing in October 1980 ; whereas in order to avoid any difficulties in interpre­
 tation as regards production aid , it is desirable to specify that such aidmaynotbe

produced from olives harvested during 1980 / 81 ;                          -
