Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),

Whereas Regulation (EC) No 603/95 (4) set out in Article 4 the National Guaranteed Quantities (NGQs) per Member State per marketing year for which aid for dried fodder may be granted; whereas the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden makes it necessary that NGQs be established for those Member States; whereas other Member States' NGQs were established taking into account, in particular the average of their production of dried fodder in the marketing years 1992/93 and 1993/94 according to the data available to the Commission in July 1994, for which aid was received under Article 5 (2) first subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 1117/78 (5); whereas Austria, Finland and Sweden were not eligible for such aid; whereas it is necessary to establish their NGQs on the basis of the average of their production of dried fodder in the calendar years 1992 and 1993;
