That programme specifies the objectives to be achieved, the expected deliverables, the measures to be carried out, their duration and their cost with a view to a possible Union financial contribution. The measures provided for in that programme fulfil the requirements of Commission Decision 2007/609/EC of 10 September 2007 on the definition of the measures eligible for Community financing in the programmes for the control of organisms harmful to plants and plant products in the French overseas departments, in the Azores and in Madeira.\n(2)\nThe Commission therefore considers that that programme meets the requirements of Article 17(1) of Regulation (EC) No 247/2006.\n(3)\nIn accordance with Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 247/2006, an appropriate maximum to the Union financial contribution should be set, and payment should be made on the basis of documentation provided by France.\n(4)\nIn accordance with Article 3(2)(a) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy, Union financial contributions to plant-health measures are to be financed from the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund. For the purposes of financial control of those measures Articles 9, 36 and 37 of that Regulation apply.\n(5)\nIn accordance with Article 75 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities and Article 90(1) of Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002 of 23 December 2002 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities, the commitment of expenditure from the Union budget shall be preceded by a financing decision adopted by the institution or the authorities to which powers have been delegated, setting out the essential elements of the action involving the expenditure.\n(6)\nThe programme submitted by the French authorities and the measures provided for concern 2011. This decision should therefore apply as from the beginning of that calendar year, allowing proper financing and execution of these measures.\n(7)\nThis decision constitutes a financing decision for the expenditure provided in the co-financing request, as laid down in the programme submitted by France.\n(8)\nThe measures provided for in this decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
