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 the Council of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization in the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1225/89 (2),

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), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1226/89 (4), and in particular Article 17a (1) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 671/89 (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1457/89 (6), fixes the estimated production of olive oil and the amount of the unit production aid that may be paid in advance for the 1988/89 marketing year; whereas, with a view to payment of that advance, the standard yields in olives and oil per production area must still be fixed; whereas, in view of the latest information available regarding production for the 1988/89 marketing year, the unit amount of the production aid that may be paid in advance should be adjusted in order to avoid any risk of undue payment as a result of an overrun in the maximum guaranteed quantity for the marketing year in question; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 671/89 should be amended accordingly;

Whereas the Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
