THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1508/76 of 24 June 1976 on imports of olive oil from Tunisia (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas by the said Regulation the Council adopted the rules for the application of the special arrangements for imports of olive oil from Tunisia provided for in the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and Tunisia ; whereas detailed rules must be adopted for the application of those rules:
Whereas Article 1 thereof provides that when Tunisia applies a special export charge on olive oil other than that which has undergone a refining process the levy applicable shall be reduced by (i) 0 750 unit of account per 100 kilogrammes and (ii) an amount equal to that of the special charge levied, subject to a maximum of 10 units of account per 100 kilogrammes, this amount being increased, until 31 October 1977, by 10 units of account per 100 kilogrammes;
Whereas, under Article 2 thereof, the arrangements for reducing the levy shall apply to all imports in respect of which it can be proved that the special charge is reflected in the import price ; whereas, for the purposes of applying these arrangements, the importer must supply proof that he has refunded the charge concerned to the exporter;
Whereas, to ensure that these arrangements function correctly, the importer must be able to inform the exporter of the amount both of the levy and of the charge applicable to the imported product;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1936/75 of 25 July 1975 laying down detailed rules for the importation of olive oil from Tunisia (2) should be repealed;
Whereas the introduction of the tendering procedure for the levy makes it necessary to specify the detailed rules for the application of these new arrangements to olive oil imports from Tunisia;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
