COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1097/84 of 31 March 1984 amending Regulation No 136/66/EEC with regard to production aid for olive oil

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),

Whereas Article 5 of Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1413/82 (5), introduced a system of production aid for olive oil ; whereas this aid is granted, on the basis of the quantity of olive oil actually produced, to growers who are members of a producers' organization while, for other growers, it is granted on the basis of the number and production potential of olive trees and of the yields of such trees, as determined according to a standard method;

Whereas experience has shown that the number of persons qualifying for the production aid for olive oil and the number of checks to be carried out prior to the granting thereof are very large, resulting in a substantial amount of control work ; whereas, therefore, for reasons of sound administrative management, provision should be made for granting the production aid to small producers on a flat-rate basis,
