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 1720/91 (2), and in particular Article 35a thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 (3) defined the characteristics of olive oil and olive-residue oil and the relevant methods of analysis;
Whereas a specific period of time was required for implementing the method of evaluating the organoleptic characteristics of virgin oil, and in particular for establishing panels of selected tasters; whereas this period has in practice proved  insufficient to ensure uniform application of that method in all the Member States; whereas the period must therefore be extended in order to enable a final verification of the methods of evaluating the various panels of tasters;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
