THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) 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 2046/92 (2), and in particular Article 12 (4) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3061/84 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1527/92 (4), sets 15 June as the final date for the submission of aid applications by olive growers and 15 July as the final date for the submission of  applications by producer organizations or associations thereof; whereas non-compliance with those dates results in loss of the total amount of aid;
Whereas, given the requirements of the principle of proportionality and with a view to the smooth operation of the granting of aid, the consequences of failing to comply with the final date for the submission of aid applications by a brief period should  be limited;
Whereas, with a view to the sound financial administration of the system, the time limits for paying aid in respect of late applications should be reduced so that the payments can be accounted for during the financial year in course;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation should take effect in the current marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
