Detailed implementing rules should be laid down for the specific supply arrangements and the measures to assist local agricultural products, both provided for in Regu- lation (EC) No 1405/2006. Detailed rules should be laid down for fixing the amount of the aid for the supply of products under the specific supply arrangements. Such rules should take account of the additional costs of supply to the smaller Aegean islands due to their remote and insular nature, which constitute a burden that severely handicaps them. The aid scheme for the supply of products under the specific supply arrangements should be managed by means of a certificate, called an ‘aid certificate’, using the import licence form. Management of the specific supply arrangements requires the introduction of detailed rules on the issue of the aid certificate which derogate from the normal rules applicable to import licences under Commission Regu- lation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certi- ficates for agricultural products (°). 228, 24.8.2002, p. 12. oL OJ L 308, 9.11.2002, p. 11.
