If the proposed changes are accepted by EU farm ministers and the European Parliament, a ceiling of about 625,000 metric tons would be imposed on the annual production of Spanish olive oil. That would be some 150,000 metric tons less than the country's current average.
The proposal would include possible penalties for excess production, fewer subsidies overall and, over time, the loss of thousands of jobs, protesters contended.
They demanded a 900,000-metric-ton quota, about 50 percent of total EU production.
