A budgetary ceiling for the specific support referred to in Chapter 5 of Title III of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 has been established for each of those years accordingly.(3)In July 2012, Greece has decided to also make use of the option provided for in Article 69(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 for the year 2013. However, due to a misunderstanding concerning the notification of such decision, the amounts to be fixed for the purpose of the budgetary ceiling for 2013 have not been included in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 914/2013.(4)Given that Greece decided to continue implementing the specific support in calendar year 2013 without any change in the amounts notified by Greece for financing the support measures concerned as they were implemented in the year 2012, the budgetary ceiling should be fixed for that year.(5)For the sake of clarity, the ceiling resulting from the amounts allocated by Greece for the measures concerned in 2013 should be published.(6)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 929/2013Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 929/2013 of 26 September 2013 amending Annex VIII to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy (OJ L 255, 27.9.2013, p. 5). amended the national ceilings for 2013 determined in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 as regards Luxembourg and Malta. Annex V to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 914/2013 should be amended accordingly.(7)In accordance with the sixth subparagraph of Article 51(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, Croatia notified the Commission of its decision to use a certain percentage of the ceilings fixed in Articles 104(4) and 112(5) of that Regulation for the sheep and goats payments and the beef and veal payments respectively. Therefore, the relevant budgetary ceilings for the sheep and goat premium, the sheep and goat supplementary premium and the suckler cow premium should be established.(8)In accordance with Article 69(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, Croatia decided before the date of its accession to use the specific support provided for in Article 68(1)(a)(ii) of that Regulation in the dairy sector and communicated its decision to the Commission. The decision is in compliance with the limit set in Article 69(4) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009. The relevant ceiling should be established by the Commission.(9)Croatia applies the single payment scheme provided for under Title III of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009. For the sake of clarity, the budgetary ceiling for the single payment scheme for Croatia, resulting from the deduction of the ceilings established for the payments referred to in Articles 52, 53 and 68 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 from the ceilings set in Annex VIII to that Regulation, should be published for 2013.(10)Annexes I to V to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 914/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.(11)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
