amending Regulation (EEC) No 2711/84 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 for the 1984/85 marketing year as regards olive-oil producer organizations and associations thereof

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 the common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2260/84 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 of 17 July 1984 laying down general rules on the granting of aid for the production of olive oil and of aid to olive-oil producer organizations (3), and in particular Articles 19 and 20 thereof,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2711/84 (4) lays down certain detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 for the 1984/85 marketing year as regards olive-oil producer organizations and associations thereof and, more particularly, the period within olive growers may join a producer organization;

Whereas experience has shown that due to the application of the new production-aid system and independently of the will of the interested parties some delays have been noticed; it becomes therefore necessary to extend the time limits set out by the abovementioned Regulation;

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:
