THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 of 30 November 2009 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Community, and in particular Articles 5(4) and 7(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1291/2009 sets the thresholds for the economic size of agricultural holdings and the Annex to that Regulation fixes the number of returning holdings per division. By reason of the accession of Croatia, the threshold as well as the number of returning holdings for that new Member State should be fixed.
(2) In addition, the date by which Croatia is to forward its first plan for the selection of returning holdings to the Commission needs to be laid down.
(3) Structural change in Italy has led to a decrease in the number of the smallest holdings and in their contribution to the total output of agriculture, implying that those holdings do no longer need to be taken into account for the field of survey with a view to covering the most relevant part of the agricultural activity. In order to guarantee a more efficient representativeness of the Italian sample, the threshold for Italy should be adapted and the number of farms adjusted.
(4) Regulation (EU) No 1291/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Community Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network,
