THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3730/87 of 10 December 1987 laying down the general rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks to designated organisations for distribution to the most deprived persons in the Community(1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro(2), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Community(3), the Commission, by Decision 2003/903/EC(4), adopted the distribution plan to be financed from resources available in the 2004 budget year. The plan lays down in particular, for each of the Member States applying the measure, the maximum financial resources available to carry out its part of the plan, and the quantity of each type of product to be withdrawn from the stocks held by the intervention agencies.
(2) The 2004 plan should be adapted to enable Poland to take part in this Community measure. Such adaptation must cover, on the one hand, the allocation of financial resources and of products to be withdrawn from intervention stocks and, on the other, the authorisation, under the conditions laid down in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 of intra-Community transfers so that the amended plan can be implemented.
(3) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinions of all the relevant committees,
