COUNCIL REGULATION  (EC) No 2801/95 of 29 November 1995 amending Regulation No 79/65/EEC setting up a network for the  collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in  the European Economic Community
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43  thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament  (1),
Whereas Council Regulation No 79/65/EEC of 15 June 1965 setting up a network for the collection of  accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European  Economic Community  (2) lays down for certain Member States the number of returning holdings in the  field of survey;
Whereas the field of survey of the data network must comprise all agricultural holdings of a  certain economic size, irrespective of any outside work the operator may engage in; whereas this  field should be re-examined periodically in the light of new Farm Structure Survey data;
Whereas returning holdings must be selected in accordance with the rules laid down in the context  of a selection plan aimed at obtaining a representative accounting sample of the field of survey;  whereas the number of holdings required to provide a representative sample should be examined  following analysis of recent field of survey data;
Whereas the detailed rules of application, in particular the threshold for the economic size and  the number of returning holdings per division, are adopted under the Community Committee procedure;  whereas technical criteria such as the appropriate sample size should be laid down in the detailed  rules of application; whereas, in order to ensure a uniform approach, the number of returning  holdings should be fixed under that procedure for all Member States;
Whereas, following the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden to the European Union, the Annex to  Regulation No 79/65/EEC should be supplemented by the list of divisions for these Member States,
