COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 3461/87
of 17 November 1987
amending Regulation (EEC) No 3089/78 laying down general rules in respect of aid for the consumption of olive oil, and providing for certain exceptional measures
THE COUNCIL 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 1915/87 (2), and in particular Articles 11 (7) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 11 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC instituted consumption aid for olive oil produced and marketed in the Community;
Whereas Article 35 of the said Regulation stipulates that, from 1 November 1987, only oil as referred to in point 1 (a) and (b) and points 3 and 6 of the Annex to the said Regulation may be marketed at the retail stage; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3089/78 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3788/85 (4), should therefore be amended so that provision be no longer made for consumption aid for ordinary virgin olive oil;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 35 (3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC Member States may, until 31 December 1989, derogate from the provisions of that Article as regards the marketing of olive oil and olive-pomace oil within their territory; whereas this Regulation must not affect that right; whereas it is therefore advisable to provide for exceptional measures for a limited period,
