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 Regulation (EEC) No 1917/80 (2), and in particular Article 11 (7) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, (3),

Whereas Article 11 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC established arrangements for aid for the consumption of olive oil produced and marketed within the Community;

Whereas, in order that the arrangements for aid for consumption achieve their objectives and to prevent olive oil imported from third countries from deriving undue benefit from the aid, Article 9 of a Council Regulation (EEC) No 3089/78 of 19 December 1978 laying down general rules in respect of aid for the consumption of olive oil (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2380/79 (5), lays down that all olive oil imported from non-member countries and placed in free circulation within the Community shall be subject to payment of a security, with the exception of oil put up in small containers;

Whereas it has been found during the 1979/80 marketing year that an abnormal increase in the imports of olive oil in small containers has taken place ; whereas the administrations in question have great difficulty in checking the final destination of the said oil ; whereas, in these circumstances, the said oil could derive undue benefit from the consumption aid ; whereas, in order to rectify this situation, all imports of olive oil, in whatever form they are put up, should be subject to provision of a security,
