                                   or Turkey

1.                Articles 16 , 17 and 16 of the Cooperation Agreements , and
   Articles 9, 10, and 9 of the Interim Agreements between the European
   Economic Community and Tunisia , Morocco and Algeria respectively
   stipulate that where the country in question levies a special charge on
   exports of olive oil , other than olive oil having undergone a refining
   process , falling within subheading 15.07 A II of the^Common Customs .
   Tariff ( a ), and where this charge is reflected in the import price, the
   Community shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the amount
   of the levy is reduced by 0.50 u.a . per 100 kg , and by an amount equal
   to that of the special charge but not exceeding 10 u.a . per 100 kg . In
   each of the above Cooperation Agreements and Interim Agreements Annex
   B also stipulates that in order to take account of :
   - the importance of the olive oil sector for the economy of the country
     in question ;
   - the programmes and efforts undertaken by the country to rationalize
     and improve the conditions on its olive oil market ;
   - the traditional trade flows in this product between the country and
     the European Economic Community,
   the amount of 10 u.a . "per 100 kg may be increased by an additional
   amount , under the same conditions and arrangements .
                  For the period from 1 July 1976 to 31 October 1977, in
   view of the exceptional circumstances affecting the olive oil market ,
   this additional amount has been fixed at 10 u.a . per 100 kg . The
   additional amount for next year , if any, is to be fixed by exchange
   of letters between the Contracting Parties, in the light of conditions
   on the olive oil market .

                                                2934 / 77-E
                      A Joint Declaration by the Contracting Parties on
    Annex B states that :
    "The Contracting Parties agree that the additional amount , if any, to
     be applied for the 1977/ 78 marketing year could be maintained at its
     previous level should the exceptional situation on account of which
     the additional amount of 10 u.a . per 100 kg was fixed for the period
     ending on 31 October still exist at that time".
                      By virtue of Article 9 of Council Regulation No
    1180/77 on imports into the Community of certain agricultural products
    originating in Turkey , Turkey benefits from a similar; additional amount
    scheme, the amount in this case being 9 u.a . per 100 kg .
2.                    With this in mind , and having examined the different
   aspects of the matter ( Annex I ), the Commission recommends that the
    Council authorize it to negotiate with the countries in question for
    the maintenance of the additional amounts at current levels for the
   period from 1 November 1977 to 31 October 1978 . Furthermore , in view
   of the urgency of this issue and the time needed to accomplish the
   procedures, the Commission is submitting to the council the regula
   tions on the conclusion of the exchanges of letters which it proposes
    to negotiate with the countries in question, and a proposal for a
    Regulation to implement the measure   agreed in the EEC-Turkey exchange
    of letters .
                      The Commission recommends that the Council adopt
    these regulations as soon as it is informed by the Commission of the
    completion of the negotiations and of the final texts of the exchanges
   of letters .
( a ) In accordance with Commission regulation No 1058/ 77 of 18.5.1977 this
      position has been modified as follows : 15.07 A I " Olive oil ,
      untreated ".
      In the draft proposals and in the exchanges of letters this new
      formulation has been adopted .

                              A N N E X I
       Appraisal of the persistence of conditions justifying the
       deduction of an additional amount on Community imports of
        olive oil originating in Tunisia , Morocco, Algeria or
                                 Turkey
. Annex B to each of the Agreements with the Maghreb countries and Annex
  V to the EEC-Turkey Association Council Decision No 1 / 77 on the results
  of second review of the arrangements to be applied to certain Turkish
  agricultural products lay down the criteria which must be taken into
  account when fixing the additional amount , if any, to be deducted
  from the levy normally applied to imports into the Community of
  unrefined olive oil . On the evidence available , the Commission consi
  ders that the situation held to justify fixing such an amount for each
  of the countries in question for the 1976 / 77 marketing year , in accor
  dance with the above-mentioned criteria , has not substantially altered
  since the adoption of these texts .
  The evidence is as follows :
  a ) The importance of the olive oil sector' for the economies of the
      countries in question : in the case of Tunisia , the main pro
      ducer , this sector still accounts for approximately 14 % of gross
      agricultural production , with olive oil providing over 20 % of the
      country 's total export earnings and some 50 % of the value of all
      agricultural exports . In a smaller producer such as Algeria , where
      only 3 V. of the land is suitable for cultivation and agriculture
      still represents the main source of livelihood for over 50 % of the
      population, there are certain regions where olive growing is at
      present irreplaceable, owing to the type of soil and the employment
      situation .
 ---pagebreak---                                               VI /2094- 2936- 2937- 2932 - 2933-
                                                  2934 / 77-E
For Turkey, the production of olive oil is still a major factor in the
country 's economy, as reflected in its exports to the Community ;
    b ) The programmes and efforts undertaken to rationalize and improve
        the conditions on the olive oil market ; in particular in Tunisia ,
        there have been grubbing-up programmes and a marked increase in
        domestic consumption ; in Morocco, the Ministry of Agriculture and
        Agrarian Reform has initiated a number of comprehensive measures
        designed to improve the quality of olive oil production and inten
        sify the production of olives for preserving and olives for oil-
        making ;
    c ) The traditional trade flows between the countries in question and
        the EEC : the EEC is by far the world 's largest importer of olive
        oil ; for example , the EEC takes about     half of Tunisia 's total
        olive oil exports and virtually the whole of Morocco 's exports .
2 . The situation on the olive oil market can hardly be said to have
    improved since the negotiation of the Cooperation Agreements with the
    Maghreb countries and EEC-Turkey Association Council 's Decision . The
    price of olive oil in relation to grain oils remains unfavourable , and
    consumption has failed to pick up .
    Moreover , the development of the 1977 / 1978 marketing year suggests
    that imports , which had recovered during 1976 / 77 , will once again
    drop to a very low level .
Since the additional amount to be deducted in connection with the export
charge does not constitute a trade advantage for the beneficiary country ,
but rather an economic advantage designed to take account of the factors
referred to in paragraph 1 and the situation outlined in paragraph 2 , the
Commission considers that in view of the above considerations the addi
tional amounts for the marketing year 1977 / 78 should be maintained at the
levels fixed for 1976 / 77, in the case of the Maghreb countries , and from
1 July 1977 in the case of Turkey .

                                               2934 / 77-E
                         EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
          The Cooperation Agreements and Interim Agreements between the
European Economic Community and Tunisia , Morocco and Algeria respectively
stipulate that where the country in question levies a special charge on
exports of untreated olive oil , falling within subheading 15.07 A I of
the Common Customs Tariff and where this charge is reflected in the import
price, the Community shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the
amount of the levy is reduced by 0.5 u.a . per 100 kg , and by an amount
equal to that of the special charge but not exceeding 10 u.a. per 100 kg .
          Annex B of the above Agreements stipulates furthermore that in
certain circumstances the amount of 10 u.a . per 100 kg may be increased
by an additional amount , under the same conditions and arrangements .
          A joint Declaration by the Contracting Parties on Annex B
states that "The Contracting Parties agree that the additional amount , if
any, to be applied for the 1977/ 78 marketing year could be maintained
at its previous level should the exceptional situation on account of
which the additonal amount of 10 u.a . per 100 kg was fixed for the period
ending on 31 October 1977 still exist at that time".
          By virtue of Article 9 of Council Regulation No 1180/ 77 on
imports into the Community of certain agricultural products originating
in Turkey, Turkey benefits from a similar additional amount scheme, the
amount in this case being 9 u.a . per 100 kg .
          Having examined the different aspects of the matter, the
Commission considers that the conditions justifying the maintenance of
the same additional amounts for the 1977/ 78 marketing year in respect
of the countries referred to above are fulfilled . The Commisssion
therefore recommends that the Council adopt the annexed Regulations .
