      COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1137/2004
   of 21 June 2004
   amending Regulation (EC) No 43/2003 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulations (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001 and (EC) No 1454/2001 as regards aid for the local production of crop products in the outermost regions of the European Union
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   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) (1), and in particular Article 5(3) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               Annex IV to Commission Regulation (EC) No 43/2003 (2) laid down the amounts and maximum quantities applicable to aid for the local marketing of products referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1453/2001.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               Implementation of this measure in 2003 showed that the use made of the maximum quantities varies widely among products. It was noted that the quantities set for some products are systematically under-used, while applications for other products exceed the maximum quantities, resulting in a reduction coefficient being applied. It would seem justified, therefore, to redistribute the quantities among products in such a way as to follow the trends observed and adjust the amounts of aid for certain products, in accordance with the experience gained and results recorded, in order to make better use of resources.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               Regulation (EC) No 43/2003 should be amended accordingly.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of all the management committees for the products concerned,
            
         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
