23.10.2001 Official Journal of the European Communities L 278/11 COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2067/2001 of 22 October 2001 fixing the olive yields and olive oil yields for the 2000/01 marketing year THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organ- isation of the market in oils and fats (), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001 (3, and in particular Article 5(11) 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 organisations (), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1639/ 98 (¥, and in particular Article 19 thereof, Whereas: (1)  Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 provides that the olive yields and olive oil yields referred to in Article 5(7) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC are to be fixed by homogeneous production zone on the basis of the figures supplied by producer Member States. The production zones were designated in Commission Regu- lation (EC) No 213897 (%), as last amended by Regula- tion (EC) No 1979/2001 (%). Taking into account the figures received, the yields should be fixed as laid down in the Annex. (2)  Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2366/ 98 (), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 648/ 2001 (), lays down a method for estimating yields in homogenous zones that takes account of the overall statistical results obtained on the basis of samples at the level of larger regional areas. The statistical results for France, in view of its modest production levels, are obtained on the basis of a single regional area and a small sample that does not permit an accurate national figure to be obtained. Adjustment of the yields of the homogenous zones on the basis of the statistical results as provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2366/98 produced clearly inconsistent values for the 2000/01 marketing year. The yields of the homogenous zones in France should therefore be fixed without making the adjustment concerned. (3)  The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Qils and Fats, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 For the 2000/01 marketing year, the olive yields and oil yields shall be as set out in the Annex. Article 2 This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall apply from 1 November 2000. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
