THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

  1. Commission Regulation (EC) No 832/2006(2) sets out the division between ‘deliveries’ and ‘direct sales’ of national reference quantities for the period from 1 April 2005 to 31 March 2006.

  2. The second subparagraph of Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003 as added by Council Regulation (EC) No 1406/2006 provides that for the 2005/2006 period the Commission may adapt the division between ‘deliveries’ and ‘direct sales’ of the national reference quantities at the request of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia.
