Whereas:
(1) Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 provides that the Commission is to determine the overrun in the maximum guaranteed area and to fix the definitive aid for the marketing year in question. Article 3 of this Regulation divides the maximum guaranteed area between lentils and chickpeas on the one hand and vetches on the other hand, allowing the unused balance of one maximum guaranteed area to be reallocated to the other maximum guaranteed area before an overrun is determined.
(2) The maximum guaranteed area for lentils and chickpeas referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 was not exceeded in 2000/01, whereas the maximum guaranteed area for vetches, increased by the unused balance of the maximum guaranteed area for lentils and chickpeas, was exceeded by 3,42 % in 2000/01. The aid provided for in Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 should be reduced proportionately for vetches for the marketing year in question.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
