Article 1

The national programmes referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 797/2004 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the apiculture programmes’) shall:

(a)

describe the situation in the sector making it possible to update regularly the structural data in the study referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 797/2004;

(c)

give a detailed description of the measures involved, with unit costs where appropriate;

(d)

(e)

(f)

list the representative organizations and bee-keeping cooperatives that collaborated in drawing up the apiculture programmes;

(g)

set up the monitoring and assessment arrangements of the apiculture programme.

Article 2

Member States shall notify their apiculture programme to the Commission before 15 April of the first year of the three years period applied by the programme.

▼M3 —————

▼B

The annual exercises of the apiculture programme are established from 16 October each year to 15 October of the following year.

►M3 The apiculture programme measures laid down for every year of the three-year period shall be implemented in full by 31 August of the year to which they relate. ◄ Payments shall be carried out during the exercise.

Article 3

Community part-financing of apiculture programmes shall be restricted for each Member State to an amount corresponding to its share of the total number of beehives in the Community, as stated in Annex I to this Regulation.

However, if one or more Member States does not notify its apiculture programme within the time limits laid down in Article 2 (1), or does not use all of the amount of part-financing referred to in the first paragraph, the shares of the other Member States may be increased in proportion to their share.

Article 4

Member States shall forward to the Commission, together with their apiculture programmes, documents specifying how the programmes are to be monitored.

The monitoring checks shall be designed to verify compliance with the terms on which aid is granted under the national programmes. These shall consist of both administrative and on-the-spot checks.

Sufficient proof of these controls shall be available by the paying agencies.

Article 5

Member States shall communicate to the Commission the list of measures on apiculture included in national operational programmes under Objectives 1 and 2 laid down by Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 ( 4 ), before the date referred to in Article 2 (1).

The same measure may not be the subject of payments simultaneously under Regulation (EC) No 797/2004 and under another Community aid scheme, in particular respect of Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 ( 5 ).

▼M3

Article 6

Provided they continue to comply with Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 797/2004, measures in apiculture programmes may be adjusted during a year. The financial limits for each of these measures may be amended provided that the overall ceiling on planned annual expenditure is not exceeded and that the Community contribution to financing of the apiculture programme does not exceed 50 % of the expenditure borne by the Member State concerned.

The Member State concerned shall notify the Commission of any draft adjustment to the measures during a year, pursuant to the first subparagraph, where a measure had not been planned initially and notified in the three-year programme. If the Commission raises no objection, the adjustment shall take effect from the first day of the second month following such notification.

At the latest two months after the end of each year of the programme, Member States shall send the Commission a summary of implementation of expenditure by type of measure.

▼M3 —————
