                              EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The deduction from olive oil production aid for the establishment of registers of
Community olive cultivation fixed for the period ending during the 1991/92
marketing year has enabled significant progress to be made: the register has been
completed in Italy and the work is well under way in the other olive producing
Member states.
So as to allow completion of the work for the establishment of registers in those
Member States still without them and to finance the first updates of the Italian
register (operational since 1988), the deduction from production aid for that
purpose must be maintained.
Given the time required for the abovementioned work and the funding necessary, it
is proposed to maintain the deduction over the marketing years from 1992/93 to
1997/98 whilst reducing its level to 2.4% (presently 2.5%).

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 154/75 of 21 January 1975 on the
establishment of a register of olive cultivation in the Member states producing
olive oilf 1 ), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3788/85( 2 ), and in
particular Article 3(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 154/75 lays down that a part of the production aid
paid to olive growers during a certain period be deducted and allocated for
funding the work necessary for establishing the register of olive cultivation;
Whereas, where the sums resulting from the said deductions would not cover the
level of expenditure, Article 3(4) of the said Regulation provides for the
possibility of making further deductions to cover the remaining expenditure;
Whereas the sums resulting from deductions made hereto have fallen considerably
short of what is required for funding the work for the establishment and updating
of the register;
Whereas the percentage of production aid during the coming marketing years to be
used for financing the said expenditure should be laid down,
(1) OJ No L 19, 24.1.1975, p. 1.
(2) OJ No L 367, 31.12.1985, p. 1.

the marketing years from 1992/93 to 1997/98 by 2.4%.
                                    Article 2

  COMMENTS :
  The 1993 preliminary draft budget assumed a deduction of 2.5 % giving a total of ECU 10.3 million to be
  with held in 1993 for the 1992/93 marketing year. The proposed figure of 2.5 % gives a total of
  (10.3 : 2.5 % ) x 2.4 % = 9.9 million. The financial impact is only Ecu 0.4 million. Given that expenditure
  on the register should not be affected by this amendment, the smaller deductions E T O accompanied by an
  increase of the same amount in the aid paid out. Over the long term, total deductions should equûl
j expenditure on the register, and the mesure has therefore no impact on the Community budget.
