Commission Decision
of 24 May 2002
on the sale of Community olive oil residues held by the Italian intervention agency
(notified under document number C(2002) 1642)
(Only the Italian text is authentic)
(2002/408/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1638/98 of 20 July 1998 amending Regulation No 136/66/EEC on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(2), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under the intervention arrangements prior to 1 November 1998 olive oil was purchased by the Spanish, Greek and Italian intervention agencies. The legal basis for those arrangements was repealed with effect from 1 November 1998 by Regulation (EC) No 1638/98. However, in order to guarantee a smooth transition from the intervention buying-in arrangements to the current situation where those arrangements no longer exist and in order to release all available stocks of olive oil from Community intervention agencies, the sale of quantities still in storage in Italy should be authorised. The oil is vat-bottom residues which contain a considerable percentage of olive oil.
(2) Article 2(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2754/78 of 23 November 1978 on intervention in the olive oil sector(3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2203/90(4), provides that Community olive oil held by intervention agencies should be put up for sale by tender, unless special conditions warrant recourse to other procedures. The olive oil residues still in storage in Italy could not be sold under Commission Regulation (EC) No 2599/2001 of 28 December 2001 on the sale of Community olive oil residues held by the Spanish, Greek and Italian intervention agencies(5) because not enough tenders were received in Italy. Those olive oil residues should be put up for sale again. To enable the Italian authorities to find a fair solution under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2754/78, the sale of those residues should be authorised via direct agreement instead of via a public tendering procedure.
(3) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
1. The Italian intervention agency "Agenzia per le Erogazioni in Agricoltura", hereafter called "AGEA", is authorised to sell by direct agreement 27,1 tonnes of Community olive oil residue held by it as a result of intervention on the Community olive oil market.
2. The product referred to in paragraph 1 must be sold before 15 July 2002.
3. The product must be delivered before 8 September 2002.
4. The Italian intervention agency shall inform the Commission as soon as possible of the outcome of the sale.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1893/2003
of 28 October 2003
fixing the production refund for olive oil used in the manufacture of certain preserved foods
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 organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(2), and in particular Article 20a thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 20a of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides for the granting of a production refund for olive oil used in the preserving industry. Pursuant to paragraph 6 of that Article, and without prejudice to paragraph 3 thereof, the Commission shall fix this refund every two months.
(2) By virtue of Article 20a(2) of the abovementioned Regulation, the production refund must be fixed on the basis of the gap between prices on the world market and on the Community market, taking account of the import charge applicable to olive oil falling within CN subheading 1509 90 00 and the factors used for fixing the export refunds for those olive oils during the reference period. It is appropriate to take as a reference period the two-month period preceding the beginning of the term of validity of the production refund.
(3) The application of the above criteria results in the refund being fixed as shown below,
For the months of November and December 2003, the amount of the production refund referred to in Article 20a(2) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be EUR 44,00/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(4) Regulation (EU) No 1259/2012 should therefore be amended. Given that the decision of the Joint Committee applies from 20 February 2013, this Regulation should enter into force immediately following its publication and should apply from 20 February 2013,
Regulation (EU) No 1259/2012 is amended as follows:
