THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in dried fodder⁽¹⁾, and in particular Article 20 thereof,

Whereas:

1. Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003 lays down the amount of the aid for dried fodder to be paid to processors for up to the maximum guaranteed quantity established in Article 5(1) of that Regulation.

2. The quantities notified to the Commission by the Member States for the 2005/06 marketing year under the second subparagraph of Article 33(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 382/2005 of 7 March 2005 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003 on the common organisation of the market in dried fodder⁽²⁾ include quantities in stock on 31 March 2006 for which, under Article 34a of that Regulation, aid may be paid for the 2005/06 marketing year.

3. Under Article 6(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 785/95 of 6 April 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 603/95 on the common organisation of the market in dried fodder⁽³⁾, in conjunction with the second paragraph of Article 36 of Regulation (EC) No 382/2005, quantities not taken into account for the 2004/05 marketing year because of late notification by one Member State should also be included for the 2005/06 marketing year.

4. The notifications show that the maximum guaranteed quantity for dried fodder has not been exceeded.

5. The aid for dried fodder is therefore EUR 33 per tonne, in accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003.

6. For those Member States applying an optional transitional period in accordance with Article 71 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003⁽⁴⁾, the aid provided for in the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 of that Article should be fixed, in accordance with Article 35 of Regulation (EC) No 382/2005.
