After the end of the third year of the programming period, and in the light of the experience gained from actions implemented so far across the different spending areas, divergences have emerged in some areas between the appropriate distribution of funds and the percentages set out in Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014.\n(5)\nSo far it has been possible to deal with these divergences by applying Article 14(3) of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014. That Article allows the Commission to depart from the indicative percentages by no more than 5 % of the value of the financial envelope in each case.\n(6)\nArticle 14(4) of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 empowers the Commission to adopt delegated acts adjusting the percentages set out in Annex III thereto.\n(7)\nIn order to maximise the use of the available funds for the remainder of the programming period and the contribution of the underlying actions to the achievement of the objectives set out in Articles 82 and 85 of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014, it is necessary to adapt the indicative distribution of funds in Annex III to that Regulation.\n(8)\nRegulation (EU) No 508/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
