COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 104/91
of 16 January 1991
on the importation of certain olives into the Community
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation 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 3499/90 (2), and in particular Articles 5 (5) and 11 (8) thereof,
Whereas imports from non-member countries into the Community of olives for oil production are constantly increasing; whereas there is a danger that production and consumption aids on olive oil may be granted for the oil pressed from these olives;
Whereas, under the Community rules, these aids are restricted to olive oil produced from olives grown in the Community; whereas appropriate action should therefore be taken to ensure that these aids are not granted for oil produced from olives released for free circulation in the Community;
Whereas imposition of a requirement to lodge a security appears to involve least hindrance to trade and hence to be the most appropriate action;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
