COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1509/94 of 29 June 1994 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3472/85 on the buying-in and storage of olive oil by intervention agencies

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 Regulation (EC) No 3179/93 (2), and in particular Article 12 (4) thereof,

Whereas, with a view to encouraging a policy geared to the production of quality goods, the quality requirements for intervention should be made stricter; whereas, to that end, lampante grade oils with more than 6 % acidity should be excluded from intervention, whilst the price reductions should be adjusted slightly in order to reflect the current market situation; whereas, for the sake of sound management of intervention, the price increases should also be adjusted in the case of better quality oils for which there are normally outlets on the market; whereas, in order to ensure market stability, the scale of price increases and reductions should be adjusted in two stages;

Whereas, to ensure improved monitoring of the quality of the oil offered for intervention, the analytical methods used to this end should be supplemented;

Whereas, by virtue of the analyses to be carried out on virgin oils other than lampante oils, an additional time limit for payment should be maintained;

Whereas the Management Committee for Oils and Fats did not deliver an opinion within the period set by its chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
