COMMISSION DECISION

of 27 December 2001

setting out the survey parameters and laying down the code and standard rules for the transcrip-
tion, in machine-readable form, of the data relating to the surveys on plantations of certain species
of fruit trees

(notified under document number C(2001) 4626)

(2002/38/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(4)

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

The measures provided for in this Decision are in line
with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricul-
tural Statistics,
instituted by Council Decision 72/
279/EEC (2),

Having regard to Council Directive 76/625/EEC, of 20 July
1976, concerning the statistical surveys to be carried out by the
Member States in order to determine the production potential
of plantations of certain species of fruit trees (1), and in partic-
ular Article 4(2) and (4) thereof,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Whereas:

The limits of the production areas to be set and their respective
codes are set out in Annex I to this Decision.

(1)

(2)

(3)

The equipment which the Commission has to analyse
the survey results on plantations of certain species of
fruit trees and the need to use this equipment in a
rational way requires that the machine-readable media
compatible with this equipment be specified and that a
standard format be prescribed for the transcription of
data in machine-readable form.

In certain production areas there are homogeneous
climatic and agronomic conditions corresponding to
fairly considerable uniformity of fruit yields per hectare;
the use of the survey results for each of these production
areas increases the accuracy of the medium-term esti-
mates of production; the limits of these production areas
will be set out.

Article 2

The statistical classes on the age of the trees planted referred to
in Article 2(1)(B) of Directive 76/625/EEC are listed in Annex II
to this Decision.

Article 3

The species of fruit and the varieties referred to in Article
2(1)(A) of Directive 76/625/EEC are listed in Annex III to this
Decision.

Article 4

It is necessary to survey the technical characteristics
which are likely to be changed, in order to ensure that
the statistics are constantly adapted to economic condi-
tions.

The statistical classes for the net area planted, the number of
trees and the density of plantation referred to in Article 2(1)(C)
of Directive 76/625/EEC are listed in Annex IV to this
Decision.

(1) OJ L 218, 11.8.1976, p. 10.

(2) OJ L 179, 7.8.1972, p. 1.
