table>(1)Council Regulation (EC) No 378/2007 of 27 March 2007 laying down rules for voluntary modulation of direct payments provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers (3) confers on the Commission powers to implement certain provisions of that Regulation.
(2)As a consequence of the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, the powers conferred on the Commission under Regulation (EC) No 378/2007 need to be aligned with Articles 290 and 291 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

(3)In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 378/2007 in the Member States concerned, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission.

(4)The implementing powers relating to the adoption of specific provisions for the integration of voluntary modulation in the rural development programming and for the financial management of voluntary modulation should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by Member States of the Commission's exercise of implementing powers (4).

(5)The Commission should, by means of implementing acts and, given their special nature, acting without the application of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011, fix the net amounts resulting from the application of voluntary modulation.

(6)Regulation (EC) No 378/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly,
