COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 296/2003

of 17 February 2003

amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 959/93 concerning statistical information to be supplied by
Member States on crop products other than cereals

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(4)

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 959/93 of 5
April 1993 concerning statistical information to be supplied by
Member States on crop products other than cereals (1), at last
amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2197/95 (2) and
in particular Article 10 thereof,

Whereas:

To maintain the sum of two areas allocated to the two
uses of cotton leads to a lack of data or to estimated
data, or to a double count. Therefore, it is necessary to
select only one area.

It is appropriate to know in a more precise manner the
nature and the areas of industrial crops.

(1)

(2)

(3)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee
for Agricultural Statistics, established by Council Deci-
sion 72/279/CE (3),

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Annexes II, III, IV, V and VIII to Regulation (EEC) No 959/93
are replaced by Annexes I, II, III, IV and V to this Regulation.

Article 2

A clarification of the fodder statistics and updating of
the classification are necessary to obtain quality statis-
tics.

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

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

Done at Brussels, 17 February 2003.
