<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"On 27 March 1996 the Commission replied to a first written question, which was tabled in February 1996 (No E-0470/96) (1).  In June 1996, that question was restated and a number of specific points for discussion were put forward (Written Question No E-1737/96) (2)).    Given that the reply to that question can only be seen as extremely evasive and totally unacceptable, would the Commission not agree that it should:      -  clarify its reply of 27 March 1996, given that the questions asked were transparently clear; and      -  recommend that the relevant Tunisian authority confirm the effects of the Presidential Decree of 25 December 1995 and, thereby, the blocking of exports of olive oil?    It should be pointed out the above decree expires on 31 October 1996 and that the Commission's continuing failure to take a decision on the matter at a time when the Community's oil-producing capacity has fallen is causing consumer prices to rise, with direct implications for real inflation rates.  Would the Commission therefore make representations to the Tunisian authorities, and if necessary impose sanctions for breach of the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement of 17 May 1995?    (1)OJ C 280, 25.9.1996, p. 33.  (2)OJ C 297, 8.10.1996, p. 133."
