On 6 December 1999, Finland submitted an amended version of this programme. Parts of this programme were approved by Commission Decision 2000/167/EC of 22 December 1999 approving a Finnish national aid programme implementing in particular Article 141 of the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden (). On 31 January 2000 Finland notified to the Commission, pursuant to Article 143 of the Act of Accession, a request to modify that programme in three respects. The first request concerns the milk sector: it would allow for the possibility of including in the quota eligible for aid unused reference quantities allocated to producers during the same marketing year. Since Commission Decision 95/196/EC of 4 May 1995 on the long-term national aid scheme for agriculture in the northern regions of Finland (%), as amended by Decision 97/279/EC (}), already provides for this possibility, the Commission considers this request to be justified, in particular in the interest of avoiding any discrimination between producers in different parts of Finland. 54, 26.2.2000, p. 44. oL 0] L 126, 9.6.1995, p. 35. oJL 112, 29.4.1997, p. 34.
