This report, which covers the period 1997-1998, is the fourth in the series of Commissionreports which cover Regulation (EEC) No 3820/852. It is based on the information suppliedby Member States using the standard form introduced according to the Commission Decisionof the 22 February 19933.All Member States have submitted their data in a format very close to the standard form.Their returns are complete, although not always uniform, except for Greece that submittedincomplete information. There were delays in returns from Portugal, the Netherlands, Greece,France, Denmark, Belgium, Austria and the UK.However, the use of the standard form makes it simpler to analyse and to compare thestatistics with those of the last period.
