                         EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Council Regulation ( EEC ) N° 475 / 86laid down the general rules for the
system for controlling the prices and the quantities of certain products
in the oils and fats sector released for consumption in Spain . The Com¬
mission adopted the detailed rules of application in Commission Regulation
( EEC ) N° 1183 / 86 .
In concrete terms , the latter Regulation provides for the charging of
a levy upon the release for consumption on the Spanish domestic market
of certain oils intended for human consumption the levy being fixed on
the basis of the difference between the price of soya oil in Spain
during the 1984 / 85 marketing year and the price of oils imported into
Spain from third countries .
The Spanish mayonnaise industry uses these oils as its main raw material ,
since they may account for up to 80% of the constituents of the industry 's
products . The Spanish industry is thus disadvantaged vis a vis its com¬
petitors in the other Member States , which use oil purchased at world
market prices .
This proposal for a Regulation provides that the levy paid on the purchase
of oils used in the production of mayonnaise and other fine sauces should
be refunded to the manufacturers located in Spain      at their request .
This will , of course , have a positive effect on Spanish industry in
general and on small and medium-sized enterprises in particular .

Whereas these oils are the main raw material for the manufacture of mayonnaise
and other fine sauces ; whereas , becasue of the levy applied , production costs
for the Spanish industry are higher than those for competing industries in the
other Member States ; whereas to avoid serious difficulties on the Spanish
market , it should be provided that the amount of the levy charged in Spain
upon the purchase of oils intended for the production of mayonnaise and other
fine sauces should be repaid to the firms which use such oils ,

   Observations : If the measure is not adopted , the Spanish industry would have to stop
   production of mayonnaise and other fine sauces on account of the difference in cost
   compared with competing mayonnaises           approximately 445 ECU/fcoil ). This would
   lead to a reduction in revenue from the levy equivalent to that of the proposed re¬
   imbursement , which is why the measure has no financial impl ica t inns .
