Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament ;
Whereas , in order to promote the approximation of survey methods and the harmoni­
zation of cattle statistics , certain'provisions of Directive 73 / 132 / EEC should be
made more explicit or supplemented ;                       .
Whereas during the period covered by Directive 73 / 132 / EEC Italy has been unable ,
for technical reasons , to update the sampling criteria in order to observe the
Community margins of error and therefore wishes to extend the exemption provided
for -- by -Article' -4 of the Directive ;
Whereas for technical reasons the Federal Republic of Germany carries out agri­
cultural surveys in even years and whereas arrangements should forthwith be made
to permit the date provided for by Article 5 ( 4 ) of Directive 73 / 132 / EEC to be
supplied according to this pattern ;
