One breeding sow place shall be equivalent to 6 75 fattening pig places. Article 2 1. The authorization given to a Member State to alter the number of 550 pig places in the context of a farm development plan shall be restricted to special cases in which the expected income from the farm under the plan does not guarantee the comparable earned income for 1 75 man-work units. 2. The number of pig-places may be increased pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1945/81 only to the extent necessary to guarantee the comparable earned income for a maximum of 1 75 man-work units under the development plan concerned. Article 3 A Member State applying for authorization under Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1945/81 must at the same time provide the Commission with a detailed description of the method of calculation. In particular, the following information relating to the pig operation must be included in the method of calculation: - the costs related to the fattening pig and breeding sow places, - the prices to be paid for piglets, fattening pigs, breeding sows and feed, - the number of progeny per sow per year, - the number of pigs kept per fattening place per year. Article 4 A Member State receiving authorization to alter the number of pig places shall submit to the Commission an annual report, before 1 May of the following year, on the specific cases in which the number of pig places has been altered in the context of a farm development plan.
