Dried fodder: common organisation of the market COM

The Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development adopted the report by Mr De Luca on the proposal for a regulation on the common organization of the market in dried fodder. The report proposes the following: * that aid to sun-dried fodder be fixed at ECU 40 per tonne (instead of the ECU 32 proposed by the Commission) in order to take account of the fact that this type of production is characteristic of the southern regions of Europe which are generally less favoured, and * that dried-fodder processing undertakings requiring aid under this Regulation are entitled to an advance payment of ECU 48 per tonne (instead of the ECU 28.5 proposed by the Commission) for artificially-dried fodder and ECU 27.5 per tonne (instead of the ECU 16 proposed by the Commission) for sun-dried fodder. �
