Such contribution may amount to 80 % for axis 1 and axis 3 as well as for technical assistance, and to 82 % for axis 2.

(5)

With a view to maintain the results of the accession negotiations and the consistency of the co-financing rates system after technical adaptations has been done to the regulations concerning rural development, the maximum financial contribution of the Community to complements to direct payments amounts should be fixed at the same percentage as for axis 1 and 3 as well as for the technical assistance,
