The revision includes support measures provided to "Liquid Milk" and "Honey" which were inadvertently omitted or incorrectly classified in the original notification under _G/AG/N/GBR/27. The following changes have been introduced to the notification concerning these two products:

Liquid Milk:

-_        ST/DS:6: Support ("Production Aid") of 5.63 GBP million for "Liquid Milk" has been included with "Guernsey/Jersey" as the data source.

-_        ST/DS:7 and ST/DS:4: Support amount has been carried over to these supporting tables; a note has been added to ST/DS:4 indicating that production value of "Liquid milk" is based on farmgate prices.

-_        ST/DS:1: Product-specific support of 0.375 million GBP for "Liquid milk," originally classified under Decoupled Income Support as "Greening payments, reimbursement of direct payments, redistributive and young farmer payments, direct support for farmers in protected landscapes" in ST/DS:1, has been reclassified as amber box spending. Accordingly, the above support entry under 'Decoupled Income Support' has been reduced by that amount, from 222.42 million GBP to 222.04 million GBP. Consequently, the subtotal for 'Decoupled Income Support' decreases from 2,054.79 million GBP to 2,054.41 million GBP, and the Grand Total Green Box drops from 3,957.04 million GBP to 3,956.66 million GBP.

Honey:

-_        ST/DS:6: Support ("Production Aid") of 0.30 GBP million for "Bee-keeping (honey)" has been included with "Defra" as the data source.

-_        ST/DS:7 and ST/DS:4: Support amount has been carried over to these supporting tables; a note has been added to ST/DS:4 indicating that production value of "Bee-keeping (honey)" is based on wholesale prices.

Additionally, the information presented via _G/AG/N/GBR/27/Corr.1 has also been integrated into this revision.
