During discussions in the Council on amendments to Council Regulation ( EEC )
No 2261 /84 laying down general rules on the granting of aid for the production
of olive oil and of aid to olive oil producer organizations , the Commission
undertook to examine the situation regarding olive oil in Greece , in
particular as concerns the situation regarding storage contracts for olive
oil . The examination showed that in Greece it is impossible to conclude
storage contracts on account of the fact that in Greece there are no producer
groups or associations thereof recognized pursuant to Article ( EEC)'
No 1360 / 78 , which are the only ones authorized to conclude such storage
contracts . To take account of this special situation and as a provisional
measure it is proposed to permit by way of a derogation from Article 20d(3 ) of
Regulation ( EEC ) No 136 / 66 / EEC producer organizations and associations thereof
recognized pursuant to Regulation ( EEC ) No 136 / 66 / EEC to conclude storage
contracts for 1987 / 88 and 1988 / 89 in Greece .

               laying down derogation provisions in respect of storage
                           contracts for olive oil in Greece
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136 / 66 / EEC of 22 September 1966 on the
establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats ( 1 ), as
last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3994/87 (2), and in particular Article *36
thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas Article 20d(3 ) of Regulation No 136 / 66 / EEC provides that when the
prices on the Community market for olive oil are close to the intervention
price for a period to be determined , a decision may be taken to allow storage
contracts to be concluded ; whereas such contracts may only be concluded with
producer groups or associations thereof recognized in accordance with Council
Regulation ( EEC ) No 1360 / 78 ( 3 )* as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1760/87 (4);
Whereas , pursuant to Commission Regulation ( EEC ) No 315 / 88 of 2 February 1988
on olive oil storage contracts for the 1987 / 88 marketing year ( 4), •
producer groups or associations thereof may             lodge     an    application
for the conclusion of storage contracts ; whereas , at present , no producer
group or association thereof has been recognized in Greece ; whereas ,
consequently , in that country producers cannot have recourse to storage
contracts ; whereas , in view of the market situation , producers could
accordingly suffer a disadvantage ;

Whereas producer organizations or associations thereof established in Greece
and recognized in accordance with Regulation No 136 / 66 / EEC may be able to provide the
necessary guarantees to comply with Regulation ( EEC ) No 315 / 88 ;   whereas ,
pending the application of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1360 / 78 in Greece , provision
should consequently be made for an exception for a limited period from the
abovementioned Article 20d ,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
                                      Article 1

the 1987 /88 and 1988 /89 marketing years , storage contracts for olive oil may
be concluded in Greece by producer groups and associations thereof recognized
in accordance with that Regulation .
