Article 3a of the Decision makes the Community financial contribution for the eradication of avian influenza conditional on implementation of the minimum measures laid down in Directive 2005/94/EC.\n(5)\nRegulation (EC) No 349/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(6)\nUnder Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 the Community financial contribution will be paid particularly on the basis of an application for reimbursement accompanied by a financial report comprising an ‘adequate compensation’ section and an ‘operational expenditure’ section. As is already the case with the submission of the ‘adequate compensation’ section, the submission of the ‘operational expenditure’ section of the financial report should be linked with the notification of the specific decision establishing financial support.\n(7)\nRegulation (EC) No 349/2005 should be amended accordingly.\n(8)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
