      COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1484/2004
   of 20 August 2004
   amending Regulation (EC) No 917/2004 on detailed rules to implement Council Regulation (EC) No 797/2004 on measures improving general conditions for the production and marketing of apiculture products
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 797/2004 of 26 April 2004 on measures improving general conditions for the production and marketing of apiculture products (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               Commission Regulation (EC) No 917/2004 (2) lays down provisions for the implementation of the national annual programmes provided for in Regulation (EC) No 797/2004. The Community’s financial contribution to these programmes is based on the bee census in each Member State as listed in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 917/2004.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               There have been changes in the bee census in the Member States’ communications to update the structural data on the situation in the sector as provided for in Article 1(a) of Regulation (EC) No 917/2004.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               Regulation (EC) No 917/2004 should be amended accordingly.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               Given that Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 917/2004 fixes 31 August as the final date implementing the measures under the annual programmes, this Regulation should apply from the 2004/2005 marketing year.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,
            
         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 917/2004 is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
   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 for the first time to the annual programmes covering the 2004/2005 marketing year.
   
      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
