COM(73)1286final

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The Commissionl'is submitting aproposal for adirective on
theorganisation ofanintermediate survey aspart ofaprogramme of
surveys onthe structure ofagricultural holdings .
This programme forms asequel tothebasic survey provided
forbyRegulation No70/66/EEC (l),amended byRegulation No35/67/EEC
(2),forming part ofaprogramme ofsurveys onthestructure ofagri­
cultural holdings ,.and ofthegeneral agricultural census recommended
bytheFAOandprovided forbytheCouncil Directive off28October 1969
(3).
Thepresent proposal provides forfurther collection ofdata
onthestructure ofagricultural holdings atCommunity level ,toserve t
theneeds ofthe common agricultural policy .Theproposed programme will
enable ustoupdate theinformation already obtained inthe twoprevious
surveys ,the last ofwhich washeld in1970 1an <*toobtain comparable
data for the entire territory oftheMember States and toprovide basic
data foruse inresearch onthestructure ofagricultural holdings .
*
There isarecognised need toprovide regular andhigh
quality information onthedevelopment ofagricultural structures ,and
this constitutes amajor precondition forthesuccess ofthemeasures
adopted atCommunity level .This need was atthebasis oftheproposed
directive inthis document . ,
Athorough analysis oftheCommission 'sneeds inthis
fields has shown that there are twodistinct requirements .Alongside
detailed information ongeneral agricultural structures ,itwas clear
that statistical data onthestructure ofagricultural holdings them­
selves and their development intime ,and indifferent regions ofthe
Community would beextremely useful .

Theproposal for adirective sets out aprogramme ofsta­
tistical surveys ,,which are "integrated ",inthesense that the1977
survey onthedevelopment ofthe structure ofagricultural holdings
will bebased onthe findings oftheearlier intermediate survey in
1975 iwhereas thegeneral agricultural census in1979 will form part
fothe regular ten-yearly censuses .

Itisthenorms given inchapter 2ontheintermediate
survey which areofimmediate interest here .Initsdesign andmethod ,
this survey will bevery close tothe1966/67basic survey ,butwill
beashorter version with less diversified ,butmore specific ,objec -
Α
tives .Without inany way discounting therequirement forgeneral in­
formation ,thesurvey 'sobjectives have been confined tothethree
factors which' experience has shown tobedecisive inanyanalysis of
thestructure offarm holdings atCommunity level :land use ,livestock

PROPOSAL FOR ACOUNCIL DIRECTIVE
fortheorganisation ofanintermediate survey as
part oftheprogramme ofsurveys onthestructure
ofagricultural holdings
THE COUNCIL OFTHE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
Having regard totheTreaty establishing theEuropean Economic
Community ,andinparticular Articles hjand209thereof ,
Having regard totheproposal from theCommission ,
Having regard totheOpinion oftheEuropean Parliament ,
• i • - • '
whereas ,forthe future development ofthe common agricultural
policy ,theCommunity needs objective and comparable information
onthe structure andorganisation ofagricultural holdings
throughout theCommunity ;
Whereas the findings ofthebasic survey conducted under Regu­
lation No70/66/EEC (1),amended byRegulation No35/67/EEC (2),
aspart ofaprogramme ofsurveys onthestructure ofagricul­
tural holdings and ofthegeneral agricultural survey recommen­
dedbytheFAOandconducted under theCouncil directive of28
October 1969 (3),will provide theCommunity with certain in­
formation which will however only refer toaspecific period and
only concern theterritory ofsixMember States ;theCommunity
must therefore undertake aprogramme ofsurveys tobeconducted
,1atthesame time inall theMember States ,'based onuniform
methods and definitions ; •

Whereas aprogramme ofthis kind should comprise three distinct
stages ,namely :
-anintermediate survey ,tobeheld atsome stage between the1970
and1980 general agricultural censuses ,toprovide essential in*-
formation for the definition ofthestructure ofagricultural
holdings ;
-asurvey onthe development ofthe structure ofagricultural
holdings ,toprovide some information oftheway certain structural
features ofthese holdings are developing inthe course oftime ;
-ageneral agricultural census asrecommended bytheFAQ ..•
Whfereas thescope oftheintermediate survey should ,soastotake
account ofcurrent developments incertain methods orfields ofpro­
duction ,include holdings with anarea ofatleast onehectare as
well asother holdings whose annual marketable production isabove
acertain figure ;
Whereas thestatistical departments oftheMember States areina
position toconduct the entire intermediate survey atnational level ;
Whereas inorder toensure uniform analysis ofthe results obtained
and tosatisfy information requirements inthis sector ,the data
collected intheintermediate survey must beregrouped andanalysed
atasingle centre ; >
Whereas theintermediate survey proposed here responds totheneeds
oftheCommunity ,andwhereas theexpenses involved should there­
fore beborne bytheCommunity ;
Whereas the farmers and other persons taking part in -the survey
should beassured that individual .information about them .Will be
treated asconfidential ; " ' . . ' '

Whereas inorder tofacilitate implementation oftheprovisions
specified ,there should beclose cooperation between theMember
States andtheCommission ,within theStanding Committee for
