Tunisia's Olive Oil Battle in EU

The article addresses the ongoing debate within the European Union regarding imports of Tunisian olive oil, particularly the active manufacturing system that allows the importation of raw materials from outside the Union with suspended customs duties, followed by refining and selling them as a final product. The proportion of Tunisian olive oil benefiting from this system increased to 76.3% in 2026, while it reached 100% in imports from Portugal and Spain. This raises questions about the legality of these operations and whether the imported products are used as raw materials or as finished products, especially with the European olive oil season approaching and stockpiles from the previous season remaining. European authorities and organizations warn of escalating disputes, and the discussion revolves around the compatibility of the active manufacturing system with trade laws and the economic security of European producers. There is also concern that changes to the rules could lead to shifts in the European olive oil market and the potential loss of some preferential advantages currently granted to Tunisia.
