 ---pagebreak---                             Statement of intentions
The present proposal for a regulation of the Council is intended to contribute
to the statistical requirements of the common agricultural policy and at the
same time to secure continuity with preceding surveys of this kind ( the most
recent such surveys having been conducted in 1979/ 80 , 1983 , 1985 and 1987 ).
It is largely the structure of agricultural holdings which determines the
potential income from agriculture . Hence changes over time in the agricultural
structure are one of the main factors taken into account when adjustements are
made in the common agricultural policy . However , structural trends cannot be
examined at Community level unless updated and comparable data are available
for all Member States .    The implementation of the statistical programme
providing for regular surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings should
therefore continue between 1988 and 1997 .

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COftNUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,  and
in particular article 43 thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission*^*,
                                                          (2)
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament
Whereas   trends in the structure of agricultural holdings are an important
factor   in determining the development of the common agricultural policy ;
whereas   the series of surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings ,
carried  out on a Community basis since 1966/ 67, should be continued;
Whereas such trends cannot be examined at Community level unless comparable
data are available for all the Member States ; whereas it is therefore
necessary to continue previous harmonization and synchronization efforts ;
Whereas , if at all possible , the characteristics , definitions and geographic
units laid down for previous structure surveys should be retained ;
Whereas , in order to assess the situation of Community agriculture and monitor
trends in agricultural structures , it is necessary to carry out at regular
intervals statistical surveys in agricultural holdings which have a certain
agricultural area utilized for farming or if they produce a certain proportion
for sale or whose production exceeds certain physical thresholds ;
Whereas , in view of the variety of statistical services in the Member States ,
the efficiency of sample survey methods and the necessity to obtain reliable
information at reasonable cost , Member States should be allowed .to decide
whether the surveys they carry out are of a full or sample type, on condition
that the results of the sample surveys are reliable at the various levels of
aggregation required .
Whereas it is nonetheless necessary to carry out , at least every ten years , a
census ( full survey ) of all the agricultural holdings in order to update the
basic registers of holdings and the other information required for the
stratification of sample surveys ;

Whereas , when the procedures to be employed for the Community census in
1989/ 90 are determined , account must be taken as far as i possible of the
recommendation of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
 ( FAO ) regarding a world census of agriculture to be conducted sometime around
1990 ;
Whereas for the requirements of agricultural policy it is necessary to provide
the statistical offices of the Member States and the Commission with a new
system of analyzing the data and disseminating the results of the surveys
which is more flexible and rapid than the previous one, while alleviating the
workload of the Member States ;
Whereas individual data are subject to statistical confidentiality ;
Whereas it is necessary , in implementing this new system, both
- to give adequate consideration to the confidentiality of individual data in
    conformity with the legislation of each Member State and the joint position
    adopted by the Directors General of the National Statistical Offices and ,
- to ensure close coooperation between the Member States in the analysis of
    the data ;
Whereas the coordinating r6le of the Statistical Office of the European
Communities is necessary to ensure uniform analysis of the results obtained
and to meet the Community requirements for information in the field in
question ;
Whereas , in order to facilitate the implementation of the provisions of this
Regulation , close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission
should continue , in particular via the Standing Committee for Agricultural
Statistics ( SCAS ) set up by Council Decision 72 / 279 / EEC ^*
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
                                      Article 1
As part of the programme of statistical surveys of the European Economic
Community , Member States shall , between 1988 and 1997, carry out surveys on
the structure of the agricultural holdings in their territories , hereinafter
referred to as 'surveys' . The reference periods of these surveys are set out in
Articles 2 and 3 .
                                      Article 2
         In  accordance  with  the  FAO  recommendation    for   a world census  of
         agriculture, Member States shall carry out a basic survey in one or more
         stages in the form of a general census ( full survey ) of all agricultural
         holdings , between 1 December 1988 and 1 March 1991 ; it shall relate to
         the crop year corresponding to the crop to be harvested in 1989 or 1990 .

        extrapolated .
         However ,   Member States may shift            forward or back the
         realization of the basic survey by 12 months at most , in which case they
        shall carry out a sample survey in addition to the basic survey ,
         relating to one of the crop years .
                                           Article 3

For the purposes of applying this Regulation :
a)   " agricultural holding" shall mean a single unit ,      both technically and
    economically,      which has a single management          and which produces
    agricultural products ;
b)  "agricultural area utilized for farming" shall mean the total area taken
    up by arable land, permanent pasture and meadow , land used for permanent
    crops and kitchen gardens .
                                      Article 6
    The surveys shall cover :
    a ) agricultural holdings where the agricultural area utilized for farming
         is one hectare or more ;
    b ) agricultural holdings where the agricultural area utilized for farming
         is less than one hectare , if they produce a certain proportion for sale
        or if their production unit exceeds certain physical thresholds .
    However , Member States who use a different survey threshold commit
    themselves to fixing this threshold at a level excluding only the smallest
    holdings which together contribute 1 % or less to the total standard gross
    margin ( SGM ), within the meaning of Decision S5 / 377/ EEC for the Member
    State concerned .
                                      Article 7
1.  In the case of combined crops , the agricultural area utilized for farming
    shall be allocated between the various crops in proportion to the amount
    of land the latter take up .
    The procedure for this allocation and , if appropriate , the exceptions to
    the general rule will be settled by the Member States in agreement with the
    Commission .
    Furthermore , the area used for combined crops shall also be recorded
    separately from the utilized agricultural area ( AA ) in accordance with the
    groupings listed in Anne-x 1 .
2.  The area used for secondary succesive crops shall be recorded separately
    from the " agricultural area used for farming".
    The secondary successive crops shall be enumerated in accordance with the

                               EUROFARM PROJECT
Description and content
1.   The EUROFARM project is a set of data banks to be used for processing
     Community surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings for the
     requirements of national and Community agricultural policies .
     The project will be designed and implemented by the statistical
     services of the Member States and of the Commission , working in close
     consultation and with Commission support .
2.   The EUROFARM data banks are as follows :
     - The Individual Data Bank ( BDI ), which according to the preference
       of the Member States will contain either data on all holdings or
       data on a representative sample of the holdings surveyed which is
       sufficient to enable analyses to be carried out at the geographical
       level specified in Article 4 of this Regulation .
     - The Tabular Data Bank ( BDT ),  which will contain the survey results
       in the form of statistical tables .   The contents of the BDT will be
       decided in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of
       this Regulation .
Location of the data banks
3.   Except in the case of Federal Republic of Germany , the BDI for all
     Member States is located in a Commission processing centre . EUROSTAT
     is responsible for access to it and for its management .
4.   The BDT is housed in a Commission processing centre .
CoBnunication of the individual data to EUROSTAT
5.   Individual data will be supplied using a uniform code specified by
     EUROSTAT in agreement with the Member States and within time limits
     to be determined in accordance with the procedure laid down in
     Article 13 of this Regulation .
6.   By way of derogation ,     the Federal Republic of Germany will not
     forward individual data .   It undertakes to centralize these data on a
     magnetic carrier in a single data processing centre , within 12 months
     of completion of data collection in the field .
Communication of the tabular data
7.   On the basis of the individual data supplied by the Member States
     EUROSTAT will compile :
 ---pagebreak---      - tables intended for the BOT ,
     - ad hoc tables as defined in paragraph 15 .
8.   When the available data do not allow EUROSTAT to compile all or part
     of the tables mentioned in paragraph 7, the Member States undertake
     to supply :
     - the missing tables for the BDTwithin 3 months of the final date for
        supply of individual data referred to in paragraph 5;
     - ad hoc tables based on the characteristics mentioned in Annex I
        within time limits to be laid down after agreement between EUROSTAT
        and the Member States .
9.   Together with the individual data the Member States undertake to
     forward the checking tables which will be defined by EUROSTAT in
     concert with the Member States .
Confidentiality of individual data
10 . The individual data must be forwarded to EUROSTAT in an anonymous
     form which does not allow the holdings to be directly identified .
11 . The Commission will take          suitable precautions    within its
     data-processing system to safeguard the confidentiality of the data .
12 . Access to the individual data is restricted to the persons
     responsible within EUROSTAT for implementation of this Regulation .
13 . The tables referred to in paragraph 14 must not allow direct or
     indirect identification of holdings .
Use of the data and dissemination of the results
14 . EUROSTAT undertakes to use the individual data communicated by the
     Member States for statistical purposes only , and to exclude all use
     for administrative ends .
     The individual data will be used in compiling :
     - the tables contained in the BDT ,
     - the ad hoc tables .
15 . Ad hoc tables are those for which no provision has been made in the
     original Community programme fixing the content of the BDT, but whose
     compilation , on the basis of the characteristics indicated in Annex
     I , is requested in order to satisfy the information requirements of
     the Commission or the Member States .

Coordination
16 . EUROSTAT and the Member States will establish a rapid consultation
     procedure with a view to :
     - ensuring the confidentiality and statistical reliability of the
       information prepared on the basis of the individual data ,
     - informing the Member States of the use made of these data .
     The  ad hoc tables compiled by EUROSTAT at the request of a Member
     State will be communicated to all the  Member States for information .
