The list of support schemes set out in the Annex to
Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 indicates the relevant
product sectors, the provisions on the basis of which the

support is paid under the different schemes and the type
of payment concerned. These indications are however
no longer up-to-date, as several of the provisions or acts
referred to have been either amended or repealed and
replaced.

Certain direct aid payments that fall under the scope of
Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 are not mentioned in its
Annex, either because of omission or because they were
introduced after the adoption of that Regulation.

The errors in the reference to the legal basis for beef and
veal as well as in the notes concerning sheep and goat
should be corrected.

The Annex to Regulation (EC) 1259/1999 should there-
fore be amended accordingly.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of the relevant manage-
ment committees,
