The growth in plant material exchanges between countries is making it necessary to catalogue varieties. The RESGEN project(Projecto n the Conservation, Characterisation, Collection and Utilisation of Genetic Resources in Olive), which is being implemented by the International Olive Oil Council with the contribution of the European Community and the Common Fund for Commodities, aim to catalogue correctly the varietal collection held in 16 Mediterranean countries(Algeria, Croatia, Cyprus, Egypt, France, Greeece, Italy, Israel, Lebanon, Morocco, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Syria, Tunisia and Yugsolavia, F.R.) and to include any varieties surveyed in the countries that are not already held in the collections.

This catalogue features 139 varieties from 23 olive-growing countries that account for 85% of olive crop area. The number of varieties described for each country has been determined by the importance of olive growing in the country and by the extent of the variety.
