Official Journal C 310 , 09/10/1998 P. 0030


WRITTEN QUESTION E-0158/98 by Mihail Papayannakis (GUE/NGL) to the Commission (2 February 1998)

Subject: Olive oil production

As the information given by the Greek authorities is not clear, would the Commission provide me with information concerning the production of olive oil in Greece and the other Member States?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (4 March 1998)

The olive oil production estimates provided by the Member States are disputed and the Commission has asked the Court of Auditors to examine the matter. The production entitled to aid according to the Member States' figures is given in the table below.

The quantity for which aid is granted to producers whose average olive oil production per marketing year is less than 500 kg is calculated as a lump sum on the basis of the number of trees and of the average yield in that production area over the previous four marketing years.
