Modelisation de l'organisation commune de marche de l'huile d'olive

Starting from a model of olive oil demand, the minimum expenditure for the community budget dedicated to this product can be established as a function of the quantity to be disposed of : the result is a key for its division between internal consumption and exports in favour of the former. One approach, which takes account of the marginal budgetary cost of every tonne disposed of, highlights the risks of an increase in production at constant support levels, particularly following the accession of Spain. A budgetary stabiliser acting on producer's support is conceptually defined. The opinion is that of the author and does not necessarily reflect that of the European Community.
