In accordance with thethird paragraph of Article 4 of Regulation No 136 / 66 / EEC
the marketing year for olive oil begins on 1 November and finishes on 31 Octo­
ber of the following year .
The organization of the market in olive oil has been greatly altered for the
1978 / 79 marketing year and this requires the adoption of numerous detailed
rules for^ application by the Council and the Commission .
In view of the number and the complexity of the provisions to be adopted , it
is impossible to meet the deadline of 1 November 1978 as the date for the
start of the 1978 / 79 marketing year andit is proposed that this be pcstponed
until 1 December 1978 . This is the purpose of this propsal for a Regulation
which also provides for the practical transitory measures needed .
