                             EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This proposal for a Regulation lays down general rules for imports of olive
oil originating in Tunisia pursuant to the Additional Protocol adapting the
Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic
of Tunisia which will enter into force on 1 November 1987 .
It is designed to avoid disruption of the olive oil market and accordingly
provides that imports should be spread out over a certain period and that the
Commission should be responsible for administering the arrangements concerned
and adopting the measures needed to prevent oil imported at a reduced levy
from being released for consumption in Spain or Portugal .
This proposal for a Regulation does not give rise to any financial
implications other than those referred to in the Commission Recommendation for
a Council Decision on the conclusion of an Additional Protocol to the 1976
Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic
of Tunisia .

                                 COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC )
       laying down general rules for imports of olive oil originating in Tunisia
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community , and
in particular Article 113 thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas Article 4 of the Additional Protocol adapting the Cooperation
Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Tunisia
                   (1 )
of 25 April 1976 provides for a special levy intended to allow Tunisia actually to
dispose of up to 46 000 tonnes of olive oil falling within subheadings
15.07 Ala ) and b) in the Community in respect of each marketing year between
the entry into force of the Protocol and 31 December 1990 ;
Whereas , in the light of the present situation and outlook as regards
supplies of olive oiJL on the Community market , that quantity can be disposed of
without any risk of market disruption , provided that it is not imported
within a limited period each year ; whereas it is advisable to provide that
import licences should be issued at a monthly rate to be determined ; whereas
that rate should also be such as to allow Tunisia to export the quantity of
olive oil specified in the said Protocol ;
Whereas the Commission should be responsible for administering the system of
quotas in order to ensure that it is applied correctly ;
Whereas , by virtue of Articles 97 and 295 of the Act of Accession of Spain and
Portugal , preferential , contractual or autonomous arrangements applied by the
Community with regard to third countries in the olive oil sector do not apply
to Spain or Portugal ; whereas measures should therefore be provided for to
prevent olive oil originating in Tunisia from being released for consumption
in Spain or Portugal after qualifying for a reduced levy ; whereas those
measures should be specified in the detailed rules for the application of this
Regulation ,
