The aid to be applied for the 2004/05 marketing year in Member States that have not overrun their national threshold must therefore be the amount set in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96. In each of the other Member States that rate must be reduced according to the individual threshold overrun as adjusted by allocation of the unprocessed quantities as specified in the third subparagraph of Article 5(2) of that Regulation.\n(3)\nArticle 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 416/2004 of 5 March 2004 laying down transitional measures for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 and Regulation (EC) No 1535/2003 by reason of the accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia to the European Union set the aid applicable in the new Member States for pears for processing during marketing year 2004/05.\n(4)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Processed Fruit and Vegetables,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
