(3) Since transferring 6858,11 tonnes from Zimbabwe's delivery obligation for 2004/2005 to its obligation for 2003/2004 will not disturb the supply arrangement referred to in Article 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the delivery obligation set for Zimbabwe for the 2003/2004 delivery period should be amended.
