of 8 April 1983

amending Regulation (EEC) No 525/83 and derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 2041/75 in respect of exports of olive oil to Libya

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to 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 1413/82 (2), and in particular Articles 19 (3) and 20 (3) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation No 171/67/EEC of 27 June 1967 on export refunds and levies on olive oil (3), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 11 thereof,

Whereas, in view of the situation and specific requirements of the market in olive oil in Libya, Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 525/83 (4) derogated from Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2041/75 (5) in respect of olive oil exports to Libya by extending the period of validity of export licences with advance fixing of the refunds that were applied for up to 31 March 1983;

Whereas this final date for the lodging of applications for licences has turned out to be too early; whereas it should be altered to give the necessary extension of the period for lodging applications for licences;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
