COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 1852/82
of 9 July 1982
amending for the fifth 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 1 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2960/77 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3473/80 (4), stipulates that where olive oil held by intervention agencies is sold for export, the oil must be exported within five months following the month of sale;
Whereas experience has shown that exporters are encountering difficulty in observing the time limit in the case of certain destinations; whereas the time limit should be deferred by the amount of time necessary to allow exports to be conducted properly;
Whereas at present export refunds may not be given on untreated oils; whereas, in order to ensure proper management of sales for export, it should be laid down that oils sold under standing tendering procedures are to be exported in the edible state;
Whereas, in the case of export of olive oil sold by intervention agencies, there is a risk that such oils will be blended with untreated oils for speculative purposes; whereas, to prevent this, Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2960/77 should be amended to state that oils sold out of intervention may be blended only with edible oils;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
