in particular Articles 3 (3), 4(1) and (3) and 5 (2) 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commis­
sion, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament, products at a level which 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 per­
centage 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

stipulates that the level of the flat-rate production 
aid for dried fodder must be such as to bring about 
an improvement in the Community's protein sup­
plies;

guide price must be set for certain dried fodder

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the Euro­
pean Economic Community, 
Having regard to the 1979 Act of Accession, and in 
particular paragraph 9 of Protocol 4 on cotton, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commis­
sion, 
Whereas under Article 8 (1) of Council Regulation 
(EEC) No 2169/81 0), as amended by Regulation 
(EEC) No 1982/82 (2), the percentage of aid paid by 
Member States until such time as the quantity actu­
ally produced is determined is laid down, taking 
into account crop estimates, before the beginning of 
each marketing year; 
Whereas, for the purposes of correct implementation 
of the system of aid in the case of unginned cotton, 
the date on which that percentage is laid down 
should be very near the date on which the product is 
actually harvested; — 50 % for the products referred to in Article 1 (b), 
second indent, of that Regulation.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 
day following its publication in the Official Journal 
of the European Communities.

directly applicable in all Member States. 
Whereas the interval between 1 August, the date laid 
down in Article 2 of the said Regulation as the 
beginning of the marketing year, and the period 
during which the harvest actually takes place is too 
long; whereas the beginning of the marketing year 
should therefore be postponed by one month and 
the said Regulation amended accordingly, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
The following paragraph is hereby added to 
Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81: 
'The 1983/84 marketing year shall, however, 
end on 31 August 1984. Thereafter, marketing 
years shall run from 1 September to 31 August.'
