COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 5/81 of 1 January 1981 laying down the general rules for the system of accession compensatory amounts for olive oil

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to the 1979 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 61 (5) and Article 72 (1) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas Articles 58 and 59 of the said Act provide for fixing prices for Greece at a level which may be different from the common price levels ; whereas, pursuant to Article 61 of the Act, these differences in price are to be compensated for by a system of accession compensatory amounts;

Whereas, in the olive oil sector, Articles 58, 59 and 61 of the Act apply to the intervention price;

Whereas, purusant to Article 11 of 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), a consumption aid is granted for oil produced and marketed within the Community ; whereas, pursuant to Article 79 (1) of the Act, the accession compensatory amount referred to above is to be corrected, as appropriate, by the effect of the difference between the Community consumption aid applicable in the Community of Nine and in Greece;

Whereas, in respect of products containing olive oil, the applicable compensatory amount must take account of the oil content of the said products;

Whereas, by virtue of the first subparagraph of Article 61 (5) of the Act, the accession compensatory amount may not exceed the total amount levied on imports from third countries ; whereas, in view of the consumption aid system for olive oil, application of that rule would result in distortions of competition ; whereas a derogation from that rule should therefore be provided,
