   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers and amending Regulations (EEC) No 2019/93, (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001, (EC) No 1454/2001, (EC) No 1868/94, (EC) No 1251/1999, (EC) No 1254/1999, (EC) No 1673/2000, (EEC) No 2358/71 and (EC) No 2529/2001 (1), and in particular Articles 64(2) and 70(2) thereof,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 of 19 January 2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, amending Regulations (EC) No 1290/2005, (EC) No 247/2006 and (EC) No 378/2007 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (2), and in particular Article 8(2), Article 69(3), Article 87(3), Article 123(1), the second subparagraph of Article 128(1) and the second subparagraph of Article 128(2) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 establishes, for each Member State, the ceilings which may not be exceeded by the total amounts of direct payments which may be awarded during a calendar year in the Member State concerned.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               In 2009, due to the reduction in its sugar quota, Spain requested the application of the support scheme for beetroot and sugar cane producers provided for in Section 7 of Chapter 1 of Title IV of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009. The ceilings established in Annex IV to that Regulation should therefore be amended with regard to Spain.
            
         
               (3)

               (8)
