(30) Union financing is required to encourage approved operator organisations to draw up work programmes for the purpose of improving the production quality of olive oil and table olives, particularly in respect of those regions in countries in the southern part of the EU which specialise in olive production. In that context, this Regulation should provide for Union support to be allocated in accordance with the priorities given to the activities undertaken within the respective work programmes. However, the activities concerned should be limited to the most useful and co-financing should be introduced in order to improve the quality of such programmes.

In case of Member States which are at a particular disadvantage with regard to structures and affected by the current social and economic crisis, such contributions should be reimbursed by the Union.

(44) Beekeeping is characterised by the diversity of production conditions and yields and the dispersion and variety of economic operators, both at the production and marketing stages. Moreover, in view of the spread of varroasis in several Member States in recent years and the problems which that disease causes to honey production, action by the Union continues to be necessary as varroasis cannot be completely eradicated and is to be treated with approved products. Given such circumstances and in order to improve the production and marketing of apiculture products in the Union, national programmes for the sector should be drawn up every three years with a view to improving the general conditions for the production and marketing of apiculture products. Those national programmes shouldmust be partly financed by the Union.
