In order to determine the actual production for which
entitlement to aid is recognised, the individual Member
States concerned must inform the Commission no later
the
than 15 May following each marketing year of
quantity on which the aid is payable in that Member
State,
in accordance with Article 14(4) of Commission
Regulation (EC) No 2366/98 (9). According to that infor-
mation, the quantity on which the aid is payable for the
2004/05 marketing year is 484 598 tonnes for Greece,
1 107 906 tonnes for Spain, 3 107 tonnes for France,
951 528 tonnes for Italy, 45 296 tonnes for Portugal
and 26 tonnes for Slovenia.

Confirmation by the Member States that aid is payable
on those quantities implies that the controls referred to
in Regulations (EEC) No 2261/84 and (EC) No 2366/98
have been carried out. However, setting actual production
on the basis of information from the Member States on
the quantities on which aid is payable does not prejudge

Taking account of the actual production figures, the unit
amount of the production aid provided for in Article 5(1)
of Regulation No 136/66/EEC payable on the eligible
quantities of actual production should also be set.

For Slovenia, the unit amount of production aid set by
this Regulation results from the application in 2005 of
the percentage referred to in Article 143a of Council
Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (10), which established
