(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics,
1. Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Sweden, and the United Kingdom are authorised to use information already available from sources other than statistical surveys for the 2003 surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
