 ---pagebreak---                          EXPLANATORY NOTE
This draft Regulation proposal is aimed at renewing for the 1978/1979 marketing
year the standard amount which reduces the import levy applicable to unrefined
olive oil originating from Greece# The amount for the 1977 /1978 marketing year
amounted to 0»50 u.a./lOO kg .
As a reminder , the sum in question is aimed at assuring that Greek oils have
a preferential position on the Community market in relation to those from
third countries . Is is equally necessary to draw the Council 's attention of
the necessity to consult Greece , conforming to Article 3 par . 3 of Regulation  /
( EEC ) N°   /78» of               » on trade in oils and fats "between the Com­
munity and Greeoe .

  o n the standard amount for unrefined olive oil produced entirely in Greece and
'transported directly from that country into the Community .
k THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
  Having regard to Council Regulation ( EEC ) No ..../ 78 of                 1978 on trade
                                                       (1)
  in oils and fats between the Community and Greece        , and in particular Article 3 ( 3 ) /
  thereof ,
  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
  Whereas , in anticipation of the harmoni sat ion of agricultural policies , trade in olive
  oil between the Community and Greece should be developed , taking account of the avai­
  lability of olive oil on the Greek market and on the Community market and of market '
  outlets for this product ;
  Whereas the standard amount must be based both on the present volume of trade between
  the Community and Greece and on the future prospects of both markets ;
  Whereas the standard amount must be fixed at a high enough level to ensure a preferential
  position for Greek oils on the Community market compared with those from third countries ;
  whereas , however , 1t must not be set at a level such as will prejudice the representative
  market price for Community production ;
  Whereas the standard amount , as established for the years during which prices on the
  Greek market have made it possible to export oil from Greece to the Community, has
  secured this preference without creating difficulties for the marketing of
  Community production ; whereas this amount should therefore be retained for the 1978 / 79 ,
  marketing year ;
  Whereas Greece has been consulted pursuant to Article 3 ( 3 ) of Regulation ( EEC )   .
  No        / 78 ,
   HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION S
   ( 1 ) OJ No ..
