(2)  The application of the integrated management and control system in those areas to which it applies has led to significant progress in reducing the risk to the EAGGF Guarantee Section from agricultural expenditure. Provi- sion should be made that the Member States are to design their own systems, compatible with the essential elements of the integrated administration and control system, for the application of other Community aid schemes. (3)  In view of the difficulties encountered when carrying out administrative checks on areas declared, and in partic- ular the costs and time involved in clearing up anoma- lies in declarations and in view of experience in a number of Member States which have created a special parcel identification system and progress in digital orthoimagery and geographical information systems, provision should be made for the introduction of computerised geographical information system tech- niques for the identification of agricultural parcels. (4)  The measures necessary for the implementation of Regu- lation (EEC) No 3508/92 should be adopted in accord- ance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (?).
