THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 of 19 January 2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, amending Regulations (EC) No 1290/2005, (EC) No 247/2006, (EC) No 378/2007 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, and in particular Article 8(2)(a) and Article 40 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 establishes for each Member State the maximum value of all payment entitlements that can be allocated during a calendar year. In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 40(1), Annex VIII should be adapted to take into account the notifications of the Member States in accordance with Article 188a(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) with regard to wine.

(2) In accordance with Article 188a(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and the second subparagraph of Article 40(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Austria, Portugal and Slovenia notified the Commission of the areas grubbed up and the regional average of the value of the entitlements referred to in point B of Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009.

(3) Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 establishes for each Member State the ceilings which may not be exceeded by the total amounts of the direct payments, net of modulation, which may be granted in respect of a calendar year in the Member State concerned.

(4) Following the notifications of the Member States in accordance with Article 188a(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and the second subparagraph of Article 40(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, the total maximum amounts of direct payments that may be granted need to be increased. Therefore, in accordance with Article 8(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, the ceilings set out in Annex IV to that Regulation should be reviewed.

(5) Annexes IV and VIII to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
