THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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 the Act of Accession of  Austria, Finland and Sweden and Regulation (EC) No 3290/94  (2), and in particular Article 20d (4)  thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and  the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy  (3), as last  amended by Regulation (EC) No 150/95  (4), and in particular Article 6 (2) thereof,
Whereas Article 20d of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that a percentage of the production aid is  to be withheld to help finance the work of the producer organizations and associations thereof;
Whereas Article 8 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3061/84 of 31 October 1984 laying down  detailed rules for the application of the system of production aid for olive oil  (5), as last  amended by Regulation (EC) No 637/95  (6) provides that the unit amounts to be paid to producer  organizations and associations thereof are to be fixed on the basis of forecasts of the overall sum  to be distributed; whereas the amount withheld was fixed for the 1994/95 marketing year by Council  Regulation (EC) No 1875/94  (7); whereas the funds which will be available in each Member State as  a result of the abovementioned amount withheld must be redistributed to those eligible in a  suitable manner; whereas in Spain and Portugal the amount withheld is less than that collected in  the other Member States as a result of the lower level of production aid;
Whereas to ensure that the distribution of funds among the producer organizations and associations  is uniformly implemented, and with a view to clarity, a specific operative event should be  established for the agricultural conversion rate for the amounts fixed; whereas, given the nature  of the measure and to facilitate the management thereof, 1 February 1995 should be fixed as the  operative event;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
For the 1994/95 marketing year, the amounts provided for in Article 8  (1) (a) and (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 3061/84 shall be as follows:

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in  the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all  Member States.
