certain dried fodder products for the period 1 to 27 April 1986 
COM(86) 191 final 
(Submitted by the Commission to the Council on 25 March 1986) 
(86/C 91/08) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 
thereof, 
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and 
Portugal, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 
1117/78 of 22 May 1978 on the common organization 
of the market in dried fodder ('), as last amended by 
Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (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, 
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 the first indent of Article 1 (b) 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 it has proved necessary to reconsider all the 
problems relating to the fixing of prices for the 1986/87 
marketing year, which will involve delay in the fixing of 
these prices; whereas it is therefore necessary to fix the 
production aid and the guide price for those dried 
fodder products, for which the marketing year expires 
on 31 March 1986, for the period 1 to 27 April 1986, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
For the period 1 to 27 April 1986 the flat-rate 
production aid provided for in Article 3 of Regulation

— 1,21 ECU per tonne in the case of Portugal and 
Spain, 
— 8,49 ECU per tonne in the case of the other Member 
States. 
Article 2 
For the period 1 to 27 April 1986 the guide price for the
