                                Explanatory nenorandua
The Statistical Office of the European Communities together with the National
Statistical Offices of the Member States has carried out regularly since 1974
surveys on earnings of workers in agriculture .
From 1974 until 1980 annual surveys were based on Council regulations .
In 1982 the Council decided in its directive 82/606/ EEC that surveys should
take place every two years .
The survey on earnings of manual workers in agriculture is the only source of
information on the social situation of wage-earning workers in agriculture .
The results of this survey serve the Commission as a base for its decisions
and recommandations in the field of rural social policy .
Results are used moreover by social            partners ,    for  example ,   for  salary
negociations .
In this directive it was stipulated that the Comminuty would participate
temporarily in the costs assumed by the national statistical offices as had
been the case during the period 1974 until 1980 . For 1988 and thereafter no
costs participation was foreseen .
Since 1982 ,    however ,   the situation has evolved differently under several
viewpoints from what had been expected in 1982 :
1.  Greece could not participate for technical reasons in the surveys 1982 and
    1984 and has organized , for the first time , a survey in 1986 .

   Portugal had to cancel the survey at the last moment . Therefore Portugal
   has not taken part yet in the survey .
3. For the Mediterranean countries ( Greece , Italy , Spain , Portugal and
   France ) the survey has been extended for the first time in 1986 to include
   non-permanent workers ( seasonal workers ). This implied that the sample had
   to be enlarged and adapted to the new requirements .
   With regard to this situation it seems necessary to grant a portion of the
   costs to those countries which have not until now or have only once taken
   part in the survey , and also to those who have extended the survey to
   seasonal workers . On the other hand it seems difficult to grant a portion
   of the costs to only one group of the Member States while the rest would
   have to support the full burden of the survey costs . Therefore , the
   Commission proposes to continue to grant a flat rate of ECU 12 ,- for each
   holding surveyed to all Member States .
   According to Art . 8 of the Directive , the Commission would present in 1990
   a report containing an assessement of the experience gained from carrying
   out the surveys and giving plans for the years after 1990 . The Commission
   proposes , to bring , forward by one year the presentation of the report to
   enable the Council to examine the directive at the beginning of the year
   1990 . The question of continuation or non-continuation of Community costs
   participation can be decided by the Counsil on this occasion .
   Accordingly the Commission proposes to amend Art . 7 and 8 of the Council
   Directive 82 / 606 / EEC in such a way that in 1988 also a flat rate sum per
   holding surveyed will be paid from the General budget of the Community and
   that the report mentioned in Art . 8 will be established in the course of
   1989 .
                                                                                Î

      Whereas Council Directive 82/606/EEC provides that Member States shall conduct in 1988 a
     survey    on    the   earnings     of   permanent    and  seasonal    workers   employed  in
     agriculture ;
     Whereas    the    above-mentioned       Directive provides     for . participation   by  the
     Community in the costs of the survey only for surveys up to 1986 inclusive ;
     Whereas the accession      of the new Member States and the extension of the survey to
     non-permanent workers makes it            necessary to provide for a participation in costs
      for the survey 1988 also ;

                  report from the Commission containing an assessment of the experience
                  gained from carrying out the survey ."
