Whereas, as provided for in Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1371/84 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1211/87 (6), which lays down the detailed rules for the application of the abovementioned provision, where a holding is broken up at the time of a transfer, the Member States may disregard transferrred parts the area of which used for milk production is less than a minimum size to be determined; whereas it should be stipulated that that part of the reference quantity corresponding to that minimum area may be added to the reserve; whereas the same solution should be used for quantities relating to one or more parts of a transferred holding if the corresponding areas are not to be used after the transfer for milk production;
Whereas the third paragraph of Article 5 stipulates that the Member States may vary that part of the quantities which are added to the reserve upon transfers; whereas, for reasons of clarity, it should be made clear that the criteria to be laid down for varying the quantities may relate to the size of the holding transferred and the size of the holding to which the transferred holding is to be added;
