of 7 April 2004

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 Community(1), and in particular Articles 4(4), 5(5) and 6(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 660/2004 of 7 April 2004 amending the Annex to Council Regulation No 79/65/EEC as regards the list of divisions(2), in that Annex, the single division "Belgium" has been split in three divisions. The numbers of returning holdings per division in Belgium should therefore be introduced in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82(3).

(2) The development of data delivery and control procedures has made the report on the implementation of the selection plan for returning holdings referred to in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82 obsolete. Article 6 and Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82 should therefore be deleted.

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

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
