THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 865/2004 of 29 April 2004 on the common organisation of the market in olive oil and table olives and amending Regulation (EEC) No 827/68 (1), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 865/2004 lays down special arrangements for the issue of import licences for olive oil. Certain special detailed rules of application should be laid down for the issue of those licences.
(2) This Regulation complements Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (2).
(3) For the sake of clarity and transparency, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1476/95 of 28 June 1995 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import licences for olive oil (3) should be repealed as from 1 November 2005.
(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2543/95 of 30 October 1995 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of export licences for olive oil (4) provides for a compulsory system for the issue of export licences. Under Article 10(3) of Regulation (EC) No 865/2004, the issue of export licences becomes an optional measure depending on market developments. Consequently, Regulation (EC) No 2543/95 should also be repealed as from 1 November 2005.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Olive Oil and Table Olives,
