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 products, 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 vegetables 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.

The average quantity of peaches processed under the aid scheme over the previous three marketing years is below the Community threshold. The aid to be applied for the 2004/05 marketing year in each Member State concerned must therefore be the amount set in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96.
(3)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Processed Fruit and Vegetables,
