                                                                     ANNEX       2
                                                          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.
            Communication 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 date 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:
                 — tables intended for the BDT,
                 — 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 BDT within three 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 State for information.
