Agricultural prices 1994/1995: guide price for adult bovine animals

1994/95 AGRICULTURAL PRICES: The aim of this proposal was to revise the common organisation of the market in dried fodder in order to simplify the aid system, reduce the costs involved and tighten up the quality criteria. In specific terms it was proposed: - that from 1 May 1994 a restriction should be introduced allowing the production of dehydrated dried fodder only on plots of land which had not been used in the same year under conditions entitling them to compensatory payments or premiums following the reform of the arable crop and livestock production sectors; - that from 1 April 1995 a single, uniform aid should be paid which was sufficient to cover the energy costs required to dehydrate green fodder. The amount would be ECU 40/t for artificially heat-dried fodder and ECU 20/t for sun-dried fodder; the minimum protein content giving entitlement to aid would be increased from 15 to 17%; - that after the first transitional year the supervision and management of the simplified system should be incorporated into the existing Community regulation, thus establishing an integrated management and supervisory system in order to guarantee better monitoring of the origin of the raw material giving entitlement to aid. �
