                            EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
In June 1990 the Commission submitted to the Council a report on table
olives together with a proposal on measures to encourage the consumption of
such products.
At the time of the Council's examination in late 1990 of the table olives
situation,   the Commission   representative said   he was willing  to give
favourable consideration to the adoption, in addition to measures already
proposed, of other measures similar to those laid down for nut producer
groups to cope with the short-term problems arising in the sector.
This draft Regulation proposes the granting of specific aid, paid       in a
single   instalment,   to  encourage   the   constitution by   the  producer
organization   for associations thereof of working capital    to permit  the
stabilization of supply by providing     in particular for the financing of
storage required for suitable release to the market of products.

                                   Proposal for a
                             COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
Whereas the supply on the market        for table olives     is poorly adjusted to
demand as a result in particular of the conditions of production, a feature
of which is alternate bearing by olive trees;
Whereas, in order to permit producer organizations or associations thereof
which produce and market table olives to concentrate supply and to stagger
quantities released to the market by means in particular of suitable storage
capacity, such organizations or associations should be encouraged to set up
working   capital;   whereas,   to  that   end,   provision   should  be  made   for
financial   contributions from    the Member    State and   the Community,   with a
ceiling determined by reference to the value of production marketed by the
producer organizations and associations thereof over a given marketing year,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

    with   Council   Regulation   (EEC)   No  1360/78* ),    and  which  constitute

    required for the suitable release to the market of the product.
