The Member States which, in implementation of article 4(1) of Council Regulation No 79/65/EEC, set a threshold of economic size of holding for the field of survey of the farm accountancy data network which doesn not coincide with the limits of the size classes as shown above, are to subdivide these into sub-classes, the limits of which correspond to the thresholds fixed. ’
