COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 183/93 of 29 January 1993 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 on the characteristics of olive oil and olive-residue oil and on the relevant methods of analysis
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic 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 Regulation (EEC) No 2046/92 (2), and in particular Article 35a thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3288/92 (4), defines the characteristics of the various types of olive oil and olive-residue oil and the relevant methods of analysis; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 also amends the additional notes 2, 3 and 4 to Chapter 15 of the combined nomenclature set out in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (5), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2505/92 (6);
Whereas, in view of experience gained, the methods of analysis need to be adapted or set out with greater precision in some cases; whereas, it has also become apparent that errors have crept into Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91;
Whereas, on account of studies under way, the period during which the Member States may use tested, scientifically valid national analysis methods should be extended;
Whereas, because of developments in research, the characteristics of olive oil as defined in Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91, should be adjusted so as better to ensure the purity of the products marketed and to provide for the relevant method of analysis;
Whereas, in order to permit the introduction of the means needed to apply the new method, its entry into force should be deferred for some months;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 should therefore be amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
