COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2041/83
of 22 July 1983
amending for the sixth time Regulation (EEC) No 2960/77 on detailed rules for the sale of olive oil held by intervention agencies
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 the common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1413/82 (2), and in particular Article 12 (4) thereof,
Whereas Article 13 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2960/77 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1852/82 (4), provides that where olive oil held by the intervention agencies is sold it shall be withdrawn, depending on the quantity awarded, within a period of 40 or 60 days following notification of the result of the tender;
Whereas experience has shown that for quantities in excess of 3 000 tonnes operators are encountering real difficulties in observing the time limits, in particular where the oil is distributed between several intervention centres; whereas the time limit for withdrawing the oil in such a case should be extended under certain conditions in order to enable intervention sales to be conducted properly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
