That Decision also sets out the proposed rate and maximum amount of the contribution for each programme. (2) Commission Decision 2003/848/EC of 28 November 2003 approving the TSE eradication and monitoring programmes of Member States and certain acceding Member States for 2004 and fixing the level of the Community’s financial contribution, approves the programmes listed in Decision 2003/746/EC and lays down the maximum amounts of the Community’s financial contribution. (3) Decision 2003/848/EC provides for progress reports to be forwarded by the Member States to the Commission every month. An analysis of those reports indicates that certain Member States will not utilise their full allocation for 2004, while others will spend in excess of the allocated amount. (4) The Community’s financial contribution to certain of those programmes therefore needs to be adjusted. It is appropriate to reallocate funding from programmes of Member States which are not using their full allocation to those that are exceeding it. The reallocation should be based on the most recent information on the expenditure actually incurred by the concerned Member States. (5) Decisions 2003/746/EC and 2003/848/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
