1996/0062(CNS)
Agricultural prices and related measures 1996/97 - Olive oil.
The Commission intends to propose in the near future a reform of the regime. However, in view of
the uncertainty over whether the Council can decide on the revised regime in time for it to apply to
the 1996/97 marketing year, as a precautionary measure, the continuance of existing prices and
levels is proposed.

- intervention price: ECU 186.17 per 100 kg
- representative market price: ECU 229.50 per 100 kg.
- production aid: ECU 142.20 per 100 kg.

100 kg.

.quality improvement: 1.40%
.aid for producers organizations and associations thereof: 0.80%
