 ---pagebreak---                     EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
A Commission proposal has beei referred to the Council , which would extend
the 1977/ 78 olive oil marketing year , which finishes on 31 October 1978,
by one month and therefore postpone the date for the start of the 1978/ 79
marketing year until 1 December 1978 .
The extension of the 1977/ 78 marketing year , by delaying the application
of the new agricultural prices and representative rates would involve a
loss for oil producers on the production marketed during the period of the
extension referred to above .
To remedy this , it seemed desirable to make an addition to the Commission
proposal on the extension of the 1977/ 78 marketing year by providing that
the new agricultural reperesentative rates should apply from 1 November 1978,
the normal date for theolive oil marketing year to start , as this will com­
pensate , as least partially , for the loss referred to above .
However , the prices already agreed by the Council for the 1978 / 79 marketing
year would apply only from 1 December 1978 .

 Having regard to the opinion of the Monetary Committee ,
Whereas pursuant to Article 4 ( 3) of Regulation No 136 / 66ZEEC the olive oil marketing
year begins on 1 November of each year ; whereas Regulation ( EEC ) No 1562/ 78 amended
certain aspects, from 1 November 1978, of the common organisation of the market in
olive oi I ;
Whereas it is not possible to adopt in time all the provisions needed to implement the
new arrangements ; whereas the 1977/ 78 marketing year should therefore be extended for
the period strictly necessary for the adoption of these provisions and the implementa­
tion of the provisions of Regulation ( EEC) No 1562/ 78 accordingly postponed;               ~
Whereas, during the period by which the marketing year is extended, the situation
which existed in October 1978 should be maintained;                              v
Whereas pending the implementation of the new arrangements regarding the import letyy,
the possibility should be provided of maintaining during November 1978 the system of
the levy fixed by tendering procedure provided for by Council Regulations ( EEC )
