THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Articles 75 (4) and 243 (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 287/94 of 7 February 1994 laying down special measures for the import of olive oil from Tunisia (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Articles 1 and 2 of Regulation (EC) No 287/94, provision should be made for the rate at which olive oil originating in Tunisia is to be imported; whereas the present and foreseeable situation regarding supplies to the Community  market in olive oil permits the disposal of the quantity anticipated without any risk of disturbance of the market if imports are not concentrated in a short period of each marketing year; whereas provision should be made for import licences to be  issued according to a monthly schedule;
Whereas olive oil imported from Tunisia may not exceed a given quantity; whereas the tolerance provided for in Article 8 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of  import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3519/93 (3), should accordingly be disallowed;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3830/92 (4) provides that as from 1 January 1993 Spain is to apply in trade with third countries the customs duties applied by the Community of 10; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1380/93 (5) lays down a  similar provision for Portugal, to apply from 1 April 1993; whereas, as a consequence, it should be made clear that the preferential rate is to apply to imports into those countries of products covered by Regulation (EC) No 287/94;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
