  1 . On 21 January 1975 the Council adopted Regulation ( EEC ) No 154 / 75 on the establish­
      ment of a register of olive cultivation in the Member States producing olive oil ,
       Article 3 of which specified that the register was to be financed by the deduction
,      of a certain percentage of the production aid granted to French and Italian olive
      growers in the 1973 / 74 and 1974 / 75 marketing years . The Council 's decision was
      accompanied by a statement inserted in the minutes of the relevant meeting to
       the effect that the Council acting by qua I i f ied ma jority on a proposal from the
       Commission ,, would decide before 31 December 1976 on how any additional expenditure
      was to be financed .
      The Council thus acknowledged at the time that the funds available under the
       financing method chosen might not be sufficient to cover all the expenditure and
      a period was set within which the Commission was to make financing proposals for
      any further expenditure required .
  2 . On account of lack of experience with regard to the work envisaged and its seale
      and complexity , it was not possible to adopt detailed rules of application for
      the compilation of the register at once . It was first necessary to carry out a
      pilot experiment to determine the survey method . This experiment was completed
      in 1978 .
      On 19 February 1979 the Management Committee for Oils and Fats agreed on detailed
      rules of application on the basis of the pilot experiment, but made its formal
      approval conditional on a solution being found for financing the remainder of the
       expenditure , since the sum required was far more than the approximately       7 million
      EUA provided by the deduction from the production aid for the 1973 / 74 and 1974 / 75
      marketing years .
      Despite the difficulties in assessing to a sufficient degree of accuracy expenditure
      stretching over several years and the uncertain costs of a number of the operations
      planned , the total cost of compiling the registlr / a ? Between 25 and 30 million EUA ,
      plus updating costs .
3 . In the present economic situation no contribution can be levied from the growers ,
      as market olive oil prices will not , as in 1973 / 74 and 1974 / 75 , compensate for any
      reduction in the aid . Other sources of finance must be found .
      The production aid provisions of the new olive oil market organi zat ion , operational
      since 1 Jsruary 1979 ( limiting of aid to areas planted with olive-trees on 31 Octo­
      ber 1978 , and for growers who are not members of producer groups calculation of
      the aid on the number and production potential of their olive-trees ) have streng-
 ---pagebreak--- theneci even further the Community s interest in the establishment of a register ,
and justify Community financing . The producer Member States also stand to gain
from information on this production potential , and this justifies a financial
contribution on their part .
It is proposed that , to cover the surplus expenditure that will be incurred in
compiling the register , the Council adopts a joint Community and national financing,
arrangement with the cost for each country , in view of the respective interests
involved , being borne in proportion of two-thirds by the EAGGF Guarantee-section
and one-third by the Member State .
The approximate sum of 12 MEUA now available is sufficient to start the operation
off and cover the work for roughtly two years .
It arises out of the proposal submitted to the Council that the financing for the
updating of the regi ster, once completed , shall be borne by the Member States
concerned .

                     COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC )
 amending Regulation ( EEC ) No 154 / 75    as . regards   the financing of the register of
 olive cultivation
 THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
 Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community , and in parti­
 cular Article 43 thereof .
 Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
 Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament ,
 Whereas .it was specified in Article 3 of Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 154 / 75 of 21 January
 1975 on the establishment of a register of olive cultivation in the Member States produ-
                (1)
 cingdive oil       that part of the aid for the 1973 / 74 and 1974 / 75 marketing years gran­
ted to producers was to be withheld to finance the work needed to establish a register
of olive cultivation ;
Whereas , in view of the large amount of work required , the sum yielded by the aid
withheld falls well short of actual needs ;
Whereas the method of financing the extra expenditure required to establish the register
should be specified ;
Whereas one aim of compiling a register of olive production is the better operation
of the Community 's olive oil production aid arrangements ; thereas compilation of the
register therefore constitutes intervention on the internal market within the meaning
of Article 3     of    Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 729 / 70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing
                                      ( 2)
of the Common Agricultural Policy          , as last amended by the Act of Accession ; whereas ,
because the individual countries stand to benefit from information on their potential
olive production , provision should also be made for the Member States in question to
contribute to the expenditure involved ,

Article 3 of Regulation ( EEC ) No 154 / 75 is amended to read as follows :
  Article 3
" 1 . The competent authorities of the producer Member States responsible for paying the
      aid provided for in Article 10 of Regulation No 136 / 66/ EEC shall , when making pay­
      ment , reduce the amounts in question :
      ( a ) for the 1973 / 74 marketing year , by 1 % ;
       ( b ) for the 1974 / 75 marketing year , by 5 % .
'2 . The amounts thus withheld shall be used to finance the establishment of the register
      of olive production . The same francing procedure shall be used as is specified for
      the expenditure referred to in Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation ( EEC )
      No 729 / 70 .
 3 . For each Member State , two-thirds of any expenditure on the establishment of the
      register exceeding the amounts yielded by the deductions provided for in paragraph 1
      shall , notwithstanding Article 3(1 ) of Regulation ( EEC ) No 729 / 70, be financed from
      the Guarantee Section of the EAGGF .
 4 . Eligible expenditure shall be that incurred under contracts between intervention age
      cies and natural or legal persons entrusted with the relevant work , or , in cases
      where the Member State has the work done by its own official departments , the costs
      "incurred other than administrative and supervision costs .
      Member States shall notify the Commission beforehand of the content of the contracts
      or the estimated cost       of the work .
  5 . Any detailed rules required for the implementation of this paragraph shall be -
      adopted under the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Regulation ( EEC ) No 729 / 70 ."
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all
Member States .

B * DEPENSE SUPPLEMENTAIRE
 Le règlement ( CEE) n° 154/75 a prévu pour le financement de l' établissement du
 casier oléicole , cb retenir sur l' aide octroyée au titre des campagnes 1973/74 et
  1974/75 respectivement 1 et 5 %• Ces retenues n' ont pas fait l' objet d'un verse­
 ment aux Etats membres concernés et sont enregistrées en tant que dépenses icn -
 effectuées , sans pour autant avoir fait l' objet d'une mise en réserve proprement
 dite * Il y a donc eu moindre dépense et par conséquent il faudra réinscrire au
 budget le montant correspondant à cette retenue *
Au 31*12*1978 ces retenues enregistrées s' élevaient à 7 » 43 milliards de lires et
250*000 FF* Déduction faite du paiement de 130 millions de lires pour les essais
permettant de choisir la méthode d' établissement du casier en Italie , il subsiste
des retenues correspondant à environ 6,5 Muce * Comme toutes les aides ne sont
pas encore payées , les retenues pourraient finalement atteindre environ 7 Muce *
Il en résulte donc un coût supplémentaire de 18 à 23 MUCE dont , selon la proposi­
tion de la Commission , 2/3. sont à la chargé du Feoga, garantie et 1/3 à la charge
des budgets des Etats membres concernés *
