COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1166/85

of 3 May 1985

fixing the flat-rate production aid and the guide price for certain dried fodder products for the period 6 to 12 May 1985

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1117/78 of 22 May 1978 on the common organization of the market in dried fodder (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1220/83 (2), and in particular Articles 3 (3), 4 (1) and (3) and 5 (2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),

Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1117/78 stipulates that the level of the fixed production aid for dried fodder must be such as to bring about an improvement in the Community's protein supplies;

Whereas, under Article 4 of the same Regulation, a guide price must be set for certain dried fodder products at a level that is fair to producers; whereas this price must be set for a standard quality representative of the average quality of dried fodder produced in the Community;

Whereas, under Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1117/78, the supplementary aid provided for in paragraph 1 of that Article must be equal to a percentage of the difference between the guide price and the average world market price for the products in question; whereas, in view of the characteristics of the market in question, the percentage should be set at 100 % for the products referred to in Article 1 (b), first indent, and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1117/78 and at 50 % for the products referred to in the second indent of Article 1 (b) of that Regulation;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1072/85 (4) therefore fixed the production aid and the guide price for those dried fodder products for which the marketing year expired on 28 April 1985 for the period 29 April to 5 May 1985; whereas, on account of the delay in the fixing of the prices for the 1985/86 marketing year, the amounts fixed by the abovementioned Regulation should be maintained for the period 6 to 12 May 1985,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

For the period 6 to 12 May 1985 the guide price for the products referred to in the first indent of Article 1 (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1117/78 shall be 177,15 ECU per tonne.
