COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2126/96 of 5 November 1996 amending Regulation (EC) No 2543/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of export licences for olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/96/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 (EC) No 1581/96 (2), and in particular Articles 2 and 3 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 2543/95 (3) of 30 October 1995 lays down special detailed rules for the application of the system of export licences for olive oil; whereas, in the light of experience gained in the first year of application, the products for which an export licence must be presented should be specified more precisely;
Whereas export licences applied for can only be issued after a period has elapsed to allow the Commission, where applicable, to take particular measures on the basis of information on applications forwarded by the Member States; whereas, where such information is incomplete or inaccurate, the Commission is unable to take such measures; whereas, as a consequence, in order to ensure the arrangements are administered properly, licences issued should be limited to the quantities covered by applications duly communicated;
Whereas, with a view to accurate monitoring of refunds relating to export licences issued, the information to be communicated by the Member States relating to licence applications withdrawn and unused quantities should be supplemented by details of the rate of refund;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
