In order to achieve the objectives set out in Article 33 of the Treaty establishing the European Community to the common agricultural policy, Community legislation has provided for several different livestock production. systems for direct aid to producers ' incomes as an essential part of the regulation and management of markets.

Agenda 2000 introduced direct income support for milk producers, whose operation was scheduled for the year 2005. However, the last reform of the common agricultural policy (CAP), agreed by the Council of the European Union on 26 May 2003, has had regulatory consequences which make it necessary to adopt this royal decree.

In order to promote the consumption of milk and milk products in the European Union and to improve the competitiveness of these products on the international market, it was introduced in Council Regulation (EC) No 1787/2003 of 29 June 2003. September 2003, amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products, a reduction in the level of the (i) support for the market, in particular through the gradual reduction, from 1 July 2004, of the intervention of the butter and skimmed milk powder.

Direct aid in the milk sector is intended to compensate for the possible effects on producers ' incomes of this reduction.

Consequently, direct income support for milk producers introduced in the framework of Agenda 2000 has been brought forward in time and increased. The latter has been incorporated into Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, which was also adopted on 29 September 2003, laying down common rules for direct aid schemes under the common agricultural policy. and establishing certain aid schemes for farmers and amending Regulations (EEC) No 2019/1993, (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1452/2001, No 1 86 8/19 94, (EC) No 12 51/1 999, (EC) No 1254/1999, (EC) No 1673/2000, (EEC) No 2358/1971 and (EC) No 2529/2001.

This aid for the sector is a great novelty, as until now farmers ' milk producers have not received any Community aid.

The aid provided for in this regulation is two types: the so-called dairy premium and the additional payments. The first is proportional to the quota a farmer has each year, and the second is determined according to the criteria established in this royal decree.

The system established in this rule is transitory until the single payment system introduced with the reform of the CAP is fully operational in 2006.

Therefore, it is necessary to adopt this royal decree, since its purpose is to determine the basic framework in which the actions of the competent administrations in the processing, resolution and payment of these aids must be framed. in Spain in the years 2004, 2005 and 2006. Notwithstanding the principle of direct effectiveness of Community regulations, it has been considered appropriate to transcribe certain provisions of Community regulations in order to facilitate the understanding of this provision.

The first three amendments are made to the Royal Decree 291/2004 of 20 February, which regulates the milk levy scheme, designed to clarify the obligations applicable to certain classes of milk and milk products. Milk buyers.

the elaboration of this royal decree, the autonomous communities and the sectors affected have been consulted.

Under its virtue, on the proposal of the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, in agreement with the Council of State and after deliberation by the Council of Ministers at its meeting on 13 April 2004,
