(2), and in particular Article 11 (7) thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Whereas, since it was last amended by Regulation (EC) No . . ., Article 11 of Regulation No  136/66/EEC no longer provides that olive oil must be of Community origin in order to be eligible  for consumption aid; whereas, therefore, it is no longer necessary to provide for checks on the  Community origin of the product or to retain the system of securities in respect of the placing in  free circulation of olive oil imported from third countries; whereas, however, the placing in free  circulation of olive oil originating in Tunisia and imported within a quota under special  arrangements must continue to be subject to the lodging of a security, since the reduced duty  applicable to such oil is determined with no account being taken of the security lodged previously  in respect of all the quantities of olive oil placed in free circulation, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 Regulation (EEC) No 3089/78 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC)  No 3461/87 (4), is hereby amended as follows: 1. In the introductory lines of Article 4 (1) the words 'produced in the Community` are deleted. 2. In Article 7 (a) and (b) the words 'of Community origin` are deleted. 3. Article 9 is replaced by the following: 'Article 9The placing in free circulation in the Community of olive oil falling within CN code  1509 10 originating in Tunisia and imported under special arrangements within a quantity ceiling  shall be subject to the lodging of a security. The amount of this security shall be equal to the  part of the consumption aid which is paid to the packaging plants for the same quantity of olive  oil and which obtains when the customs formalities for placing the oil in free circulation are  completed. However, in the event of a decision entailing a substantial alteration in the consumption aid, the  Commission may adjust, as from the date of that decision, the amount of the security to take  account of the alteration in question. The security shall be released as soon as the party concerned provides proof that the olive oil in  question has been made ineligible for consumption aid and for the production refund referred to in  Article 20a of Regulation No 136/66/EEC.`Article 2 This Regulation shall enter into force on the  third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
