The results of that analysis show that certain Member States will not utilise their full allocation for 2004 while others will spend in excess of the allocated amount.\n(5)\nThe 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.\n(6)\nDecisions 2003/743/EC and 2003/849/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(7)\nThe measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
