COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1524/91  of 5 June 1991  amending Regulation (EEC) No 3472/85 on the buying-in and storage of olive oil by intervention agencies
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 3577/90 (2), and in particular Article 12 (4) thereof,
Whereas, with a view to encouraging a policy geared to the production of quality goods, the quality requirements for intervention should be made stricter; whereas, to that end, lampante grade oils with more than 8 % acidity should be excluded from  intervention; whereas, to the same end, the price reductions applicable to lampante grade oils should be adjusted; whereas, for the sake of sound management of intervention, a slight adjustment should also be made for oils of better qualitites for which  there are normally outiets on the market;
Whereas, in order to simply management of the intervention arrangements, certain conditions governing the acceptance and storage of oils should be reviewed; whereas, however, in view of the production conditions in Portugal, the minimum quantities of  lots which may be offered for intervention should be maintained unaltered in that country for the 1990/91 marketing year; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3472/85 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3502/88 (4), must consequently be  amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
