(5) Educational mMeasures that supportaccompany the distribution are necessary in order to make the scheme effective in reaching its short- and long-term objectives of increasing the consumption of selected agricultural products and shaping healthier diets. Considering their importance, these measures should primarily support both the fruit and vegetables including bananas and milk distribution. They should be eligible for the Union aid. As supporting measures they represent a critical tool to reconnect children with agriculture and its different products and to meet the objectives that the scheme is pursuing, Member States should be allowed to include a wider variety of agricultural products, such as for example products made from processed fruit and vegetables with no added sugar, salt, fat or sweeteners, or else other healthy local, regional or national specialities, into their thematic measures. However, so as to promote healthy eating habits, the national health authorities responsible for nutrition and/or health should be involved in this process and approvegree to the list of these products, as well as the two groups of products eligible for the distribution, and decide on their nutritional aspects. .

(6) In order to ensure a sound budgetary management, a fixed ceiling of the Union aid towards the distribution of fruit and vegetables including bananas and milk, supporting educationalaccompanying measures and related costs should be provided for. This ceiling should reflect the current situation. In light of the experience gained and with a view to simplify the management, the financing models should be approximated and based on a single approach as regards the level of Union financial contribution. It is therefore appropriate to limit the level of Union aid towards the price of products through a maximum Union aid per portion both for fruit and vegetables including bananas and milk and abolish the principle of obligatory co-financingchild and per distribution operation both for fruit and vegetables including bananas and milk. Considering the price volatility of products in question, the power to adopt certain acts should be delegated to the Commission in respect of measures setting the levels of the Union aid towards the price of a portion of products and laying down the definition of a portion.ceiling of the Union aid
