# Commission Regulation (EC) No 2366/98 of 30 October 1998 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of production aid for olive oil for the 1998/1999, 1999/2000, 2000/01, 2001/02, 2002/03 and 2004/05 marketing years, Article 24

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

1. A computerised graphical reference database containing the parcels covered by a significant number of declarations shall be established for the administrative units designated by the Member States. It shall comprise the following three sets of graphical information:
digital orthophotographs,
the boundaries of the administrative units and of the parcels as shown in the land register or, where none exists, in the parcel identification system established by the Member State,
the location of the individual olive trees.
The Member State shall fix the minimum size of olive-growing parcels below which no boundaries shall be determined. That minimum size may not be greater than 10 ares.
For administrative units not included in the graphical reference database, the Member States shall set up an alternative system to ensure that declarations are valid.
2. The graphical reference database shall apply a homogeneous projection system to the whole country and shall ensure that the different layers of information are geometrically consistent over space and time.
The graphical reference database shall be updated periodically to ensure that it contains the most recent information available and that the orthophotographs are no more than five years old.
3. The digital orthophotographs shall comply with the geometrical standards for mapmaking on a 1:10 000 scale and, from the radiometric point of view, shall have a maximum pixel size of one metre. They shall comply with market standards as regards mosaicking and tone.
Parcel boundaries shall be in raster or vector format, as available, complying with the standards for map making on a 1:10 000 scale. In all cases, the system introduced shall possess the topological properties needed to provide easy access to parcels, monitoring of boundary fluctuations over the four previous marketing years and access to the characteristics of parcels in the alphanumerical database.
4. Olive growers who have lodged crop declarations may access the information in the graphical reference base and may, on application, receive a copy of the alphanumerical and graphical information concerning them.
