THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 2000/822/EC of 22 December 2000 on the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Republic of Tunisia concerning reciprocal liberalisation measures and amendment of the Agricultural Protocols to the EC/Tunisia Association Agreement (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 865/2004 of 29 April 2004 on the common organisation of the market in olive oil and table olives and amending Regulation (EEC) No 827/68 (2),
Whereas:
(1) |
Article 1(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 312/2001 (3) lays down a monthly limit for the quantity of olive oil for which import licences may be issued under the quota provided for in paragraph 1 of that Article. |

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Olive Oil and Table Olives, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
