COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 2143/86
of 7 July 1986
laying down special measures for imports of olive oil originating in Tunisia
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
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 1454/86 (2), and in particular Article 36 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the present and foreseeable supply situation of the common market in olive oil calls for the immediate adoption of certain measures to assist in the disposal of an appropriate quantity of olive oil originating in Tunisia; whereas those measures are intended to avoid a concentration of imports of the said product in the period preceding that of its production in the Community which would run counter to the appropriate management of that market; whereas in accordance with Articles 97 and 295 of the 1985 Act of Accession these measures do not apply to Spain or to Portugal;
Whereas provision should accordingly be made for general rules for the issue of import licences in order to guarantee equal access to that quota for importers of olive oil,
