 ---pagebreak---                              EXPLAUATORY MEMORANDUM
1 * Politicai bcâs :
    During its meeting of 19-20 November 1973 1 "kk® -Agricultural Council of
    Ministers , in a resolution adopted for the olive oil sector , adopted ^ among
    other things , the principle of compiling a register of olive cultivation
    in the Community , envisaging that 1$ of the aid to "be accorded to production
    for the 1973/1974 marketing year should "be allocated to financing this com­
    pilation,
2 . Aim of a re/^ister of olive cultivation :
    The creation of a register of olive cultivation in the Community will permit ,
    in particular , the determination of the total value of all olive trees , as
    well as of the entire area planted with olive trees .
    TKs information is necessary for the successful management of the common
    organisation of the olive oil market since it will allow#
    (a) an assessment to "be caatried out of the potential production of olives
          and oil in the Community}
    (b ) a sufficiently exact verification to be made of the quantities of oil
          for which the aid is requested , by applying the target yields , provided
    fffic for within the framework of the system of control for granting the aid
          paid to producers , to the number of trees allocated according to homogenous
          zones of production .
    It is proposed to carry out the work necessary to create the register of
    olive cultivation in two steps . The first step concerns the work which will
    lead to the knwoledge of the minimum details necessary to improve the system
    of control of the aid to production* The second step invalues the gathering
    of all the other information necessary for a register of olive cultivation ,
    which is likewise necessary for a complete knowledge of the situation in the
    sector but for which a much longer period is required to carry out the work.
3 . Financing
    The proposed Regulation provides for the coqilation of a register of olive
    cultivation in the Community. In order to finance this , it is proposed that
    the Member States shall withhold a part of the aid provided for in Article 10
    of Regulation I36/66/EEC# This part shall amount to 1% of the aid for the
    1973/74 marketing year and 5% of the aid for the 1974/75 marketing year# The
    amount of aid paid by the EAGGP will remain the same so this measure will not
    cause any additional expense .
 ---pagebreak---   However , should the costs of compiling the register prove to be more than
  the amount made available by the withholding mentioned above , the Council
  will decide before 31.12.1976 ) on the type of financing to be introduced
  to cover <the extra expenses , as well as the proportion which will be allo­
  cated as a charge of the Guarantee Section of the EAGGF.
' Estimate of the amount withhold for financing :
  1> of the aroount of the aid for the
     1973/74 marketing year                          2|5     UA
  5$ of the amoufit. of the aid for the
     1974/75 marketing year .                        9»5 m* UA
  Total                                             12,0 m . UA
  In view of the timing of the payment of aid , the amounts will be withhold
  in the years 1975 "to 1978*
