THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation 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 the Act of Accession of  Austria, Finland and Sweden, and by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94  (2), and in particular Article 2  thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2041/75  (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 557/91   (4), lays down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export  licences and advance fixing certificates for oils and fats;
Whereas, from 1 July 1995, the provisions of the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of  negotiations will apply to imports of olive oil into the Community;
Whereas certain special detailed rules should be laid down concerning imports of olive oil;  whereas, in particular, the term of the validity of licences and the security applicable should be  laid down and it should also be provided that in order to benefit from the special import systems  such as those provided for Algeria, the Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey, the third countries  concerned should be indicated in the licence;
Whereas imports of olive oil from Tunisia as referred to in Council Regulation (EC) No 287/94  (5)  are effected on the basis of an agreement which expires at the end of October 1995; whereas  conditions affecting those imports cannot be changed before that date;
Whereas the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2041/75 should continue to apply to those imports;  whereas that Regulation will also continue to apply to export licences until 31 October 1995;  whereas, therefore, since the Regulation cannot be repealed before that date, it should be  explicitly laid down that its provisions concerning import licences apply only to the  abovementioned imports of olive oil from Tunisia;
Whereas the provisions of this Regulation are additional to and in derogation from the provisions  of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88  (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1199/95   (7);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
