In certain cases however, it was necessary to request supplementary information with regard to the proofs submitted. Due to the delays in the arrival of such additional information and the time required for their thorough analysis it was not possible to notify the Member States concerned of the charges to be paid by 31 October 2006. Consequently, in order to comply with the rules laid down in Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000, the deadline set by Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 60/2004 for the payment of the first instalment needs to be adjusted.\n(5)\nRegulation (EC) No 60/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(6)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
