Whereas:
(1) Article 4 of Regulation No 79/65/EEC defines that the field of survey shall cover the agricultural holdings having an economic size equal to, or greater than, a threshold expressed in European size units (ESU) within the meaning of Annex III to Commission Decision 85/377/EEC of 7 June 1985 establishing a Community typology for agricultural holdings(3), as last amended by Decision 1999/725/EC(4).

(3) The structural change has lead to a decrease in the number of the smallest holdings and in their contribution to the total output of agriculture, thereby making their use unnecessary in order for the field of survey to cover the most relevant part of the agricultural activity (at least 90 % of total standard gross margin).
(4) In the case of Italy it is advisable to raise the threshold from 2 ESU to 4 ESU but for practical reasons this modification cannot be implemented until the accounting year 2002.

(5) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
In accordance with the Annex to this Regulation, the export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 shall not be fixed.
