Agricultural prices 1996/1997: aid for the consumption of olive oil (amend. regul. 3089/78/EEC)

Agricultural prices and related measures (1996-97) - Olive oil. COMMUNITY MEASURE: Council Regulation (EC) No 1582/96 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3089/78 laying down general rules in respect of aid for the consumption of olive oil. SUBSTANCE: the Regulation provides for minor alterations in consumption aid resulting from the implementation of the Uruguay Round agreements. Olive oil need no longer be of Community origin in order to be eligible for consumption aid, and importers of olive oil (excepting olive oil originating in Tunisia and imported within a quota under special arrangements) no longer have to lodge a security equal to the part of the consumption aid payable for the imported quantity. These adjustments are a consequence of the inclusion in the Common Customs Tariff of an amount equal to the security to be provided. ENTRY INTO FORCE: 19 August 1996. The Regulation is applicable from 1 July 1996. �
