1. The information shall refer to summaries of holdings if the survey is
exhaustive (or to raised summaries of holdings if the survey is basedon random sampling) and not to individual holdings.
2. The information shall be delivered on nine-track magnetic tape /
1 600 BPI (630 bytes/cm) standard label.
3. The information shall be of fixed record length consisting of 308
positions, and shall be recorded in EBCDIC.
4. The first two fields of each record shall contain information to permit
identification. The first field (three positions) identifies the
geographical unit, the codification of which is given in the detailed
provisions and in Annex II.
5. The second field (two positions) identifies the table in the schedule of
tables provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 357/79. Thecodification of these tables is given in the detailed provisions.

table. If all the 308 positions are not filled in the case of certain tables,the record shall be completed by blanks.
7. The information shall be entered right justified in each field.8. Surface area data shall be given in hectares to two decimal places with
a virtual point.
9. Member States shall have a choice as to blocking factor and Eurostat
must be informed as to what blocking factor has been used.
10. The records shall be sorted according to geographical unit, table, and
size classes or variety, in that order.
11. Standard administrative procedures governing the transmission of the
magnetic tape files to Eurostat shall be established jointly by Eurostatand the Member States.
II. The following pages give for each table and for the various items of a
record:
(a) the codes which are to be used;(b) the maximum number of digits required for the item in question;(c) the consecutive numbering of the positions for the various items.!
