The measures provided for in this Decision are in

on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June
1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular

expenditures of
programmes. The results of
that analysis show that
certain Member States will not utilise their full allocation
for 2003 while others will spend in excess of the allo-
cated amount.

The Community's financial contribution to certain of
those programmes therefore needs to be adjusted. It is
appropriate to reallocate funding from programmes of
Member States which are not using their full allocation
to those that are exceeding it. The reallocation should be
based on the most recent information on the expendi-
ture actually incurred by the concerned Member States.
