THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic 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 (EEC) No 590/79 (2), and in particular Article 12 (4) thereof,

Whereas Article 5 (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2960/77 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 883/79 (4), specifies the stage at which the minimum selling price for olive oil fixed under an invitation to tender shall apply;

Whereas the application of Article 5 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2960/77 was limited in time ; whereas experience has shown that the stage therein specified is the most appropriate as regards the olive oil sector ; whereas application of the provision in question should therefore no longer be limited;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
