THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to 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 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2910/73 (2), and in particular Article 4 (4) thereof,
Whereas Article 3 of Commission Regulation No 91/66/EEC of 29 June 1966 concerning the selection of returning holdings for the purpose of determining incomes of agricultural holdings (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3003/76 (4), fixes the number of returning holdings per division;
Whereas the 28 000 returning holdings should be distributed finally among the divisions on the basis of the results of the Community survey of the structure of agricultural holdings in 1975, presented in accordance with the Community classification of farms ; whereas, pending these results, such distribution should be based on the estimates made by Member States;
Whereas owing to the technical difficulties encountered by certain Member States the number of 28 000 returning holdings, which is the final objective of the extension of the information network, will not be reached for "1978" ; whereas these difficulties will be overcome so that the objective can be attained for "1979";
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network,
