COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2035/2003

of 19 November 2003

amending Regulation (EC) No 296/96 on data to be forwarded by the Member States and the
monthly booking of expenditure financed under the Guarantee Section of the Agricultural
Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 of 17
the common agricultural
May 1999 on the financing of

(1)

(2)

Article 181 and Article 41(2) of Council Regulation (EC,
Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Finan-
cial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the
European Communities (2) make provision, starting in
financial year 2004, for the classification of Commission
expenditure by use. The effect of classifying expenditure
in this manner is to make the chapters of the budget
nomenclature less detailed.

In order to maintain the same level of information and
transparency as hitherto in the booking of expenditure
financed under the Guarantee Section of the European
Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), the
financial
information communicated by the Member
States every month in accordance with Article 3(3) of
Commission Regulation (EC) No 296/96 (3), as
last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1997/2002 (4), should
be broken down by budget article or item.

(3)

(4)

Regulation (EC) No 296/96 should therefore be
amended.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of the EAGGF Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Article 3(4) of Regulation (EC) No 296/96, the first subpara-
graph is replaced by the following:

‘The notification referred to in paragraph 3 shall include a
breakdown of expenditure by budget article in the nomen-
clature of the budget of the European Communities and,
for the chapter on the audit of agricultural expenditure, an
additional breakdown by budget item; however,
for the
chapter on fisheries, expenditure shall be given by chapter.’

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter
into force on the third day
following its publication in the Official Journal of the European
Union.

It shall apply from 1 December 2003.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
