In the case of significant discrepancies, the information resulting from the application of the methods provided for in Articles 2 and 4 shall be notified individually to the olive growers. The latter shall be entitled to request a check of such information within three months of such notification.  2. In that case, the body responsible for drawing up the register of olive cultivation shall undertake a check, if necessary on the spot, of the area and number of olive trees in respect of each olive grower.  Where the above check does not reveal any change in the information in respect of the olive grower concerned, the latter shall be required to reimburse the costs of such a check.  3. The basic information in the register shall be:  (a) in the case of consistency or insignificant discrepancy between the olive growers' declarations and the information resulting from the methods provided for in Articles 2 and 4, the information declared by the olive growers;  (b) in the case of significant discrepancies:  - the information notified to the olive grower where the latter has not requested a check as provided for in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1,  - the information resulting from the check in other cases.'  2. The following Articles 6a ad 6b are added:  'Article 6a  Member States producing olives shall undertake, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 6 (1), an annual updating of the register of olive cultivation, taking account in particular of any changes in cultivation declarations submitted by olive growers.  Article 6b  1. Member States producing olives which acceded to the Community after the entry into force of this Regulation may carry out trials to determine what method for obtaining information is best suited to olive cultivation as practised on their territory and give particular consideration to the methods set out in Annex I.  To that end, the Member States concerned shall by 31 December 1988 at the latest transmit a programme of trials to the Commission for approval.  2. The Commission shall notify to the Member States its decision on the programme submitted, where appropriate together with the changes which it considers desirable.
