Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3463/87 of 17 November 1987 laying down general rules for imports of olive oil originating in Tunisia (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Articles 1 and 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3463/87, the rate of imports of olive oil originating in Tunisia should be determined; whereas the present situation and outlook as regards supplies of olive oil to the Community market permits the disposal of the anticipated quantity without any risk of market disruption provided that imports are not concentrated within a short period each year; whereas it should be laid down that import licences may be issued according to a monthly calendar;
Whereas provision should be made for rules for the issue of import licences in order to ensure equal access for importers of olive oil to the quota in question;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3463/87, provision should be made for the necessary measures to prevent any deflection of trade and in particular to ensure that the levy applicable in the case of third countries is charged if the oil is released for consumption in Spain or Portugal;
Whereas the quantity of oil imported from Tunisia must not exceed a given quantity; whereas the tolerance provided for in Article 8 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80 of 3 December 1980 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 (EEC) No 2082/87 (3), should therefore not be allowed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
