COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 143/2002

of 24 January 2002

amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 571/88 in view of the organisation of the
Community surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings in 2003, 2005 and 2007

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 571/88 of 29
February 1988 on the organisation of Community surveys on
the structure of agricultural holdings (1), as last amended by
Commission Decision 98/377/EC (2), and in particular Article 8
thereof,

Whereas:

(1) When determining the characteristics to be surveyed, an
effort should be made to limit, as far as possible, the
burden on respondents to the survey.

In order to develop and guide the common agricultural
policy, the list of characteristics should be revised and
adapted in view of new evolving information needs.

The new political goal to achieve a sustainable common
agricultural policy calls for more information especially
on the complex relations between agriculture and the
environment.

The use of the collected information over a long time-
span and geographical area requires that data need to be
of equal quality regardless of the source.

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

on Agricultural Statistics, set up by Council Decision
72/279/EEC (3),

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Annex to the present Regulation.

Article 2

Where the Commission authorises Member States to use infor-
mation from sources other than statistical surveys in accord-
ance with Article 8(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 571/88, those
Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that
this information is of at least equal quality to information from
statistical surveys.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter
into force on the 20th day
following its publication in the Official Journal of the European
Communities.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee

It shall apply with respect to the Community surveys on the
structure of agricultural holdings for 2003-07.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
