COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2936/86
of 24 September 1986
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2677/85 laying down implementing rules in respect of the system of consumption aid for olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1454/86 (2), and in aparticular Article 11 (8) thereof,
Whereas Article 17 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2677/85 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3818/85 (4) provides that the release into free circulation in the Community of olive oil falling within subheading 15.07 A of the Common Customs Tariff is to be subject to production of proof of the lodging of a security to prevent oils originating in third countries from receiving consumption aid; whereas Article 18 of the said Regulation lays down, as one of the conditions for the release of the said security; that the oil should be exported either in bulk or in immediate containers with a net content of more than five litres;
Whereas, under Article 20 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, a refund may be granted on olive oils exported to third countries; whereas the amount of the refund may be varied to take account of whether consumption aid has been granted;
Whereas, under Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 2677/85, consumption aid cannot be granted in respect of olive oil in bulk or put up in immediate containers of a net content exceeding five litres; whereas, therefore, to prevent unjustified enrichment, provision should be made so that, where olive oil is exported in the abovementioned containers, the certificate for the release of the security concerned, the amount of which is equal to that of the consumption aid, cannot be issued if the transaction in question qualifies for the refund;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
