(3)  To ensure the financing available to each Member State is used appropriately, a procedure should be laid down for the annual amendment of the work programmes approved for the following year, so as to take into account any duly justified changes compared with initial conditions. Member States should also be able to stipulate the conditions required to amend the work programmes and redistribute the amounts allocated without exceeding the annual amounts withheld by producer Member States pursuant to Article 29(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013. In the event of amendments to a work programme and with a view to enabling flexibility in the implementation of the work programmes, the deadline for submission of requests needs to be set.

It should also be stipulated that the request must be drawn up in accordance with a model to be provided by the compe- tent authority and be accompanied by documentary evidence of the implementation of the work programmes and expenditure incurred. It should be established that the Member State paying agency shall disburse the finan- cing and release the security after completion of the entire work programme, verifying the documentary evidence and checks.
