Weather conditions in Sardinia , and the drought that has persisted since
September 1986 , have brought about a shortage of fodder which could lead
farmers to sell their livestock prematurely with income losses .
In order to remedy this situation , it is proposed to make available to
Sardinian stock-farmers a quantity of 50 000 t of barley which should be
transferred from intervention stocks held in Spain .
The cost of such a transfer is estimated at 2.4 million ECU .

B. Saving on storage costs
   The proposed measure would result in additional disposals which cannot ,
   however , be quantified precisely .
   Should the amount disposed of be 50 000 t , this would result in reduced
   storage costs , supposing an average period of 6 months , of :
   Holding costs :     50 000 t x 1.35 ECU / t x 6 x 75% = - 0.3
   Financial costs :   50 000 t x 176 ECU / t x 7% 6 / 12 =  - 0.3
