As such information is required in order to develop a comprehensive evaluation of the regime and its implementation, it is appropriate that Member States provide relevant information for each of the periods since 2003/2004.\n(3)\nIn order that Member States can communicate the relevant information in a uniform manner, it is necessary that a template giving the detailed specification for the data is established.\n(4)\nRegulation (EC) No 595/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(5)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
