Commission Regulation (EC) No 2812/2000
of 21 December 2000
amending Regulation (EC) No 2225/2000 fixing the olive yields and oil yields for the 1999/2000 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2702/1999(2), and in particular Article 5(11) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 of 17 July 1984 laying down general rules on the granting of aid for the production of olive oil and of aid to olive oil producer organisations(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1639/98(4), and in particular Article 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 provides that the olive yields and oil yields referred to in Article 5(7) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC are to be fixed by homogenous production zone on the basis of the figures supplied by producer Member States. The production zones were defined by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2138/97 of 30 October 1997 delimiting the homogeneous olive oil production zones(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2461/2000(6).
(2) In point A (Italy) of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2225/2000(7), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2439/2000(8), the figures for the oil yields of the homogeneous production zones were omitted and should therefore be added. Furthermore, the Portuguese authorities have supplied new figures for their olive and oil yields and the relevant changes should therefore be made to point E (Portugal) of that Annex.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
