THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001 of 28 June 2001 introducing specific measures for certain agricultural products for the French overseas departments, amending Directive 72/462/EEC and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 525/77 and (EEC) No 3763/91 (Poseidom) (1), and in particular Article 3(6) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1453/2001 of 28 June 2001 introducing specific measures for certain agricultural products for the Azores and Madeira and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 (Poseima) (2), and in particular Article 3(6) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 14/2004 of 30 December 2003 establishing the supply balances and Community aid for the supply of certain essential products for human consumption, for processing and as agricultural inputs and for the supply of live animals and eggs to the outermost regions under Council Regulations (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001 and (EC) No 1454/2001 (3) establishes forecast supply balances and Community aid.

(2) Current execution of the annual supply balances for the French overseas departments for cereals and products processed from fruit and vegetables, and for Madeira for vegetable oil, products processed from fruit and vegetables, whole-milk powder and cheese and pigmeat indicates that the quantities fixed for the supply of the above products are below requirements because of the higher-than-expected demand.

(3) The quantity of the above products should therefore be adjusted in line with the actual needs of the outermost regions concerned.

(4) Regulation (EC) No 14/2004 contains a technical error concerning the CN code of breeding horses referred to in Part I of Annex II, intended for the French overseas departments. That error should be corrected.

(5) Regulation (EC) No 14/2004 should therefore be amended and corrected.

(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinions of the Management Committees concerned,
