(3)For Member States making use, in 2014, of the options provided for in Article 72a or 125a of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, the                              budgetary ceilings for the redistributive payment referred to in Chapter 5a of Title III and Chapter 2a of Title V of Regulation                              (EC) No 73/2009 should be established for 2014.

(4)Article 69(4) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 limits the resources that can be used in 2014 for any coupled measure provided                              for in points (i) to (iv) of Article 68(1)(a) and in Article 68(1)(b) and (e) to 6,5 % of the national ceiling referred to                              in Article 40 of that Regulation. For the sake of clarity, the Commission should publish the ceiling resulting from the amounts                              notified by the Member States for the measures concerned.

(5)Pursuant to Article 69(6)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, the amounts calculated in accordance with Article 69(7) of that                              Regulation have been laid down in Annex III to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009(2). For the sake of clarity, the Commission should publish the amounts notified by Member States which they intend to use in                              2014 in accordance with Article 69(6)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009.
