The level of the premium is to rise each year until 2007 to offset the reduction in market support, which applies annually on 1 July, the start of the milk year.\n(3)\nThe operative event for the exchange rate for the purposes of the dairy premium should therefore be set at 1 July of the year for which the aid is granted. For the sake of consistency, it should also be laid down that the same operative event for the exchange rate is to apply to the dairy premium and to additional payments.\n(4)\nCommission Regulation (EC) No 2808/98 of 22 December 1998 laying down detailed rules for the application of the agrimonetary system for the euro in agriculture should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(5)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committees concerned,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
