This proposal for a Council Regulation amends Article 47a of Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 in order to prevent any difference in treatment between the Member States making up the Community at 30 April 2004 and the Member States which joined on 1 May 2004 as regards the rate of the financial contribution for the agri-environmental measures applicable to the latter Member States. The rate shall be brought into line with that applicable to the Member States making up the Community at 30 April 2004 as from the date of accession (1 May 2004).

The proposed measure does not involve additional spending from the Community budget.
