The very cold weather in Greece at the beginning of the year has caused a
shortage of fodder the result of which will be that unless action is taken
fanners will be . forced to sell their livestock early and their incomes will be
reduced .
It is proposed to cope with the situation by making available to Greece
150 000 tonnes of barley that will have to be transferred from Spanish
intervention stocks .
The estimated cost of the transfer is 7.5 million ECU .

B. SAVING ON STORAGE COSTS
   The proposed measure will involve additional disposals that cannot however
   be quantified exactly .
   Should this additional disposal be of 150.000 t the result would be lower
   storage costs , i.e. on the assumption of average duration of six months :
   Cost of retention                  : 150.000 t x 1,35 ECU/ t x 6 x 75% = - 0,9
   Financing costs                    : 150.000 t x 1,82 ECU/ t x 7% x 6 / 12= - 0,9
