Commission Regulation (EC) No 1470/2007

of 13 December 2007

amending Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82 concerning the selection of returning holdings for the purpose of determining incomes of agricultural holdings

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation No 79/65/EEC of 15 June 1965 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Economic Communityf1, and particular Article 4(4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Annex I to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82f2 fixes the number of returning holdings per division.

(2)

Taking into account the changes in the Italian agricultural structures and the use of improved statistical methodologies for defining the number of holdings to be selected by region, type of farming and economic size class, the number of returning holdings per division in Italy should be adjusted so that the sample may better represent all the farm types present in the field of observation.

(3)

Taking into account the changes in the Polish agricultural structures and the use of an increased number of types of farming used for stratification of the field of observation, the number of returning holdings per division in Poland should be adjusted so that the sample better represents all farm types present in the field of observation.

(4)

Following the merging of the divisions ‘Entre Douro e Minho e Beira Litoral’ and ‘Trás-os-montes e Beira Interior’ into one division ‘Norte e Centro’ by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1469/2007 of 13 December 2007 amending the Annex to Council Regulation No 79/65/EEC as regards the list of divisionsf3, the number of returning holdings per division in Portugal should be adjusted.

(5)

Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Community Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network,
