Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004 provides that the coef- ficient of reduction of determined areas is to be fixed on the basis of the data communicated in accordance with Article 3(1) of the said Regulation. The reference to certain provisions of Article 3(1) is erroneous and should therefore be corrected. (2)  Article 32(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004 specifies subordinate requirements for collectors and first processors. Lodging of security should also constitute a subordinate requirement for the collectors of raw material intended for use in the production of energy products. (3) In order to provide for the possibility to grow and process new crops on the holding for the purpose of energy production, it is appropriate to give Member States an option to update the list of raw materials eligible to the use of land set aside and to the aid for energy Crops.

In Article 39(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004 reference is erroneously made to Article 32(2) instead of the entire Article 32. This error should therefore be corrected. Commission Regulation (EC) No 270/2007 of 13 March 2007 amending Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regu- lation (EC) No 1782/2003 as regards the support schemes provided for in Titles IV and IVa of that Regu- lation and the use of land set aside for the production of raw materials (}) amended Article 136 of Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004. Due to an error, the subsequent repla- cement of that Article by Commission Regulation (EC) No 381/2007 ( did not take into account the amendment introduced by Regulation (EC) No 270/2007. Article 136 of Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004 should therefore be adapted accordingly with effect from the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 270/2007. Commission Regulation (EC) No 972/2007 (°) amended Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 796/2004 (°) in order to avoid reductions of payments in case of intentional over declarations of areas when they concern very limited areas. That provision should also apply to applications for the Single Area Payment Scheme. Article 138 of Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004 should therefore be adapted accordingly. Amendments introduced by Regulation (EC) No 270/2007 have simplified the rules for aid for energy crops laid down in Chapter 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004. It is appropriate to introduce some of the new elements into the rules for the use of land set aside for the production of raw materials as laid down in Chapter 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004. 75, 15.3.2007, p. 8. 95, 5.4.2007, p. 8. 216, 21.7.2007, p. 3. 141, 30.4.2004, p. 18.
