1.

For the purposes of Article 2(2) of Directive 93/24/EEC, ‘agricultural holding’ means any technical and economic unit under single management which produces agricultural products.

2.

The survey referred to in Article 1(1) of Directive 93/24/EEC shall cover:

(a)

agricultural holdings with a utilised agricultural area of 1 ha or more;

(b)

agricultural holdings with a utilised agricultural area of less than 1 ha, if their production is to a certain extent intended for sale or if their production unit exceeds certain natural thresholds.

3.

Member States wishing to apply a different survey threshold shall, however, undertake to determine that threshold in such a way that only the smallest holdings are excluded, and that together the holdings excluded account for 1 % or less of the total standard gross margin, within the meaning of Commission Decision 85/377/EECf1, of the Member State concerned.
