Subject: Premiums for arable crops (Greece)

of that maximum area?

Can the Commission indicate:

( how many agricultural holdings in Greece have an area of more than 50 hectares;

( how many agricultural holdings in Greece have an area of less than 50 hectares;

( if such a measure were introduced, what savings would be made ( expressed in absolute figures and
