  Regulation No 136/ 66/ EEC , as last amended by Regulation ( EEC ) No 1562 / 78 , provides
  inter alia for the introduction of an aid for the consumption of olive oil produ­
 ced and sold on the Community market .
 In Article 11 of this regulation this aid is defined as being equal to the diffe­
 rence between . the production target price less the production aid , and the
 representative market price .                                                         ,
 However , in Article 10 of the aforesaid regulation it is laid down that the repre­
 sentative market pr,ice shall be increased during the marketing year by the monthly
 increases . But such montly increases to the representative market price would
affect the level of the consumption aid negatively , which is unjustified in view
of the objective pursued . In order that the consumption aid should achieve the
desired end, its amount should not vary during the market ing >ear except where a
change in the level of the representative market price is justified by a variation
                                                            •:                            I
in the prices of competing oils . This result may be reached by providing that for
the olculation of the consumer aid, the monthly increases to the representative
market price shall not becpplied .            .
Since the amendment of Regulation No 136/ 66/ EEC corrects a material error , this
proposal involves no additional financial incidence compared to that taken into
account when the proposal to amend Regulation No 136/ 66/ EEC was presented .

                                   COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC )
  amending Regulation No 136/66/EEC on the establishment of a common organization of the

  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITITES ,
  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in
  particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof ,
  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
                                   /                      •
  Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament ,
  Whereas Article 11 of Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC*1^ , as last amended by Regulation
  ( EEC) No 1562/78 ( 2 ) , introduced a system of consumption aid for olive oil produced
  and marketed in the Community ; whereas this aid, which is equal to the difference between
  the production target price less the production aid and the representative market price
  for olive oil., is adjusted during the marketing year when the representative market
  price is altered in accordance with the provisions of the second subparagraph of Article
  4(1 ) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC ;
 Whereas , pursuant to Article 10 of the above Regulation , monthly increases shall be
  applied to the representative market price ; whereas , in consequence , the level of
 consumption aid is affected negatively and in an unwarranted manner;
 Whereas , in order for the system of consumption aid to fulfil its purpose , the level
 of the said aid should be altered only in line with the market situation ; whereas this
  aim may be attained by providing for the monthly increases to the representative market
 price not to be applied when calculating the aid in question; whereas Article 11 of
 Regulation No 136/66/EEC should therefore be amended,
 HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :

 The following subparagraph is added to paragraph 1 of Article 11 :
 "When calculating the aid referred to in the preceding subparagraph , no account shall be
 taken of the monthly increases in the representative market price ."
