Subsequently it has appeared that the financial allocation notified by Portugal omitted a part of the intended expenditure under that scheme. In order to ensure that the objective of the scheme to increase the support for the first hectares of a holding is met, the financial allocation for the redistributive payment in Portugal in 2017 should therefore be increased.\n(3)\nAs a consequence, in accordance with Article 22 of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, the ceiling for the basic payment scheme in Portugal in 2017 should be reduced accordingly.\n(4)\nImplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1272 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(5)\nAs the amendment made by this Regulation affects the application of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1272, which applies from 1 January 2017, this Regulation should apply from the same date.\n(6)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Direct Payments,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
