COMMISSION  REGULATION ( EEC ) No 3483/90
of 30 November 1990
on the transitional measures relating to the application of the system of accession compensatory amounts for olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 473/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down the general rules for the system of accession compensatory amounts for olive oil ( 1 ), and in particular Article 7 ( 1 ) ( a ) thereof,
Whereas Article 2 ( 2 ) of Regulation ( EEC ) No 473/86 stipulates that the accession compensatory amount is corrected by the difference between the consumption aid applicable in the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 and that applicable in the new Member State;
Whereas the entry into force of the consumption aid in Spain and Portugal will bring about a significant change in the calculation of accession compensatory amounts; whereas, as a result, enterprises which have not received consumption aid will be subjected to a negative accession compensatory amount on exports; whereas there is therefore the risk of a distortion of competition;
Whereas, in order to avoid such distortion, provision should be made for olive oil which would have been eligible for the grant of consumption aid but which did not benefit from it bacause it was packaged without an identification number to receive, for a certain period, the accession compensatory amounts which would have been valid prior to the date of entry into force of the consumption aid in Spain and Portugal;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for oils and fats,
