 1 * Counoil Regulation No 162/66/EEO on -trade in oils and fats between the
      Community and Greece lays down in Article 3 thereof that the levy on
      imports of unrefined olive oil produced entirely in Greece and transpor­
      ted directly from that country into the Community shall be decreased by
      a standard amount , of which the level shall be determinded annually by
      the Council after consultation has taken place with Greece .
 2 . In anticipation of the harmonisation of agricultural policies , the deve­
      lopment of trade in olive oil between the Community and Greece should be
      promoted, talcing into account the availability of olive oil on the Greek
     market and on the Community market as well as the marketing possibilities
     for this product .
     The standard amount should thus be set so that it facilitates the above
     development without , however , prejudicing the achavement of the market
     target price for Community production.
3. Since the 1966/67 marketing year the amount has beei fixed at 0,50 u.a./
     100 kg. The evolution set out in the following table of exports of olive
     oil from Greece to the Community in total compared to the overall imports
     of the EEC , particularly for the last olive oil marketing year , lead to
     the conclusion that the amount of 0,50 u.a. /lOO kg has been sufficient to
     fulfil its objective , namely to ensure that the Greek oils have a prefe­
     rential position on the Community market compared with the oils from third
     countries .

    standard amount at 0,50 u.a./lOO kg for the 1975/76 marketing year.

                           REGULATION (EEC ) Ho     /7«5 OP THE COUNCIL
  on the standard amount for unrefined olive oil produced entirely in Greece and
  transported direct from that country into the Community
 THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
 Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ;
 Having regard to Council Regulation Ho 162/66/EEC ( l ) of 27 October 1966 on trade
 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 harmonization of agricultural policies , trade
 in olive oil between the Community and Greece should be developed , taking
 account of the availability of olive oil on the Greek market and on that of
 the Community and tof marketing possibilities 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 ;
                              I
Whereas the standard amount must represent a sufficiently high percentage of
the market target price to ensure a preferential position for Greek oils on the
Community market compared with those from third countries ; whereas , however,
this amount must be set at such a level that is does not prejudice the realiza­
tion of the market target 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 ensured that this preference exists without creating difficulties
for the marketing of Community production ; whereas the level of this amount should
consequently remain unchanged for the year 1975/1976 ;                        N
Whereas Greece has been consulted pursuant to Article 3(3 ) of Eegulation No
162/66/EEC ,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
