THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the markets in processed fruit and vegetable products1, and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)
Article 3(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1535/2003 of 29 August 2003 laying down detailed rules for applying Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 as regards the aid scheme for products processed from fruit and vegetables2 stipulates that the Commission is to publish the amount of the aid for peaches after verifying compliance with the thresholds fixed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 2201/96.
