WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1616/97 by José VALVERDE LÓPEZ to the Commission. Projects funded in Spain under the EEA financial mechanism
C 45/60 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 10. 2. 98 However, except for operations under the inward processing arrangements, imports from third countries are confined to those originating in Tunisia and carried out within the tariff quota (46 000 tonnes) with reduced customs duties. Imports originating in other third countries are insignificant. The economic impact of this oil quota on Community producers is very difficult to evaluate, because it depends on various market parameters including production in the current marketing year, the quantity carried over, market prices, the level of intervention stocks, export forecasts, the quality of both Community and Tunisian oil and the level of consumption. Generally speaking, the economic impact will be of the same order of magnitude as the difference between the market price of Community oil before and after import of the Tunisian quota. In all cases, this evaluation has to be performed in the light of the oil available in the marketing year under consideration. In a year when there is no surplus the economic impact will be almost non-existent; otherwise (surplus harvest), the economic effects for the sector will be more obvious.
