    THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

    Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 213 thereof,

    Whereas Directive 73/403/EEC (1) provides that Member States shall conduct a general population census on a date between 1 March and 31 May 1981;

    Whereas serious difficulties, which could not have been foreseen when the Directive was adopted, have arisen ; whereas they have not enabled the census operations to be carried out in the Kingdom of the Netherlands between the said dates;

    HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

    Article 1

    By way of derogation, Directive 73/403/EEC shall not apply in the case of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

    Article 2

    This Directive is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

    Done at Brussels, 14 December 1981.

    For the Council

    The President
