COMMISSION DECISION of 30 May 1994 amending Decision No 85/377/EEC establishing a Community typology for agricultural holdings (94/376/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation No 79/65/EEC of 15 June 1965 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Economic Community (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 (2), and in particular Article 4 (4) and Article 11 thereof,

Whereas the Community typology of agricultural holdings set up by Commission Decision No 85/377/EEC (3), and in particular the standard gross margins, is the basis for the classification of agricultural holdings by economic size and type of farming both in the farm structure surveys and under the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN); whereas the Community typology is also the basis for calculating the European size units (ESU) and the thresholds used to delimit the field of observation and to draw up the plan for selecting the returning holdings included or to be included in the FADN;

Whereas the results of the farm structure surveys, classified by ESU and type of farming serve as a decision-making basis for farm structure policy under the common agricultural policy and for defining the field of observation of the FADN, which serves as a basis for selecting and weighting the FADN farm sample; whereas the selection of returning holdings for the field of observation must be representative in terms of the objectives of each of the analyses planned;

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 571/88 (4), as last amended by Commission Decision No 93/156/EEC (5), provides for a series of surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings from 1988 to 1997 and lists the characteristics to be surveyed;

Whereas Article 11 of Commission Decision No 85/377/EEC states that the Commission, assisted by the Member States, shall review at least every 10 years the experience gained in applying the Decision and any new Community needs arising in the field; whereas after such review, the provisions of the Decision may be amended as required;

Whereas the structure and content of the list of survey characteristics for 1988 to 1997 have been amended, so that the characteristics in the new list differ from those recorded in the previous surveys; whereas the Community typology of agricultural holdings depends on that list and it is therefore necessary to adapt Decision No 85/377/EEC to the lists of survey characteristics laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 571/88;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Community Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network and with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Annexes II and III to Decision No 85/377/EEC are amended in accordance with Annexes I and II thereto.

Article 2

This Decision applies as from 1988.

Article 3

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Done at Brussels, 30 May 1994.

- in the column headed 'Code of characteristics and thresholds',

- the formula 'G01a > 2/3' referring to the definition of the particular type of farming regarding 3211 - Specialist fresh fruit (other than citrus) is replaced by the formula 'G01a + G01b > 2/3'

and

- the formula 'G01b > 2/3' referring to the definition of the particular type of farming regarding 3212 - Specialist nuts is replaced by the formula 'G01c > 2/3'.

2. In part C, section I, (Codes regrouping several characteristics included in the 1985 and 1987 structure surveys),

- in code P1, the words 'non-fodder' are deleted in the I01 (successive secondary non-fodder crops) characteristics,

and

- in code P1, the words '+ I06a (fallow land, with rotation possibilities) + 106b (permanent pasture and meadow used as grazing for extensive livestock farmers) + 106c (lentils, chick pass and vetches)' are added.

In Annex III, part A, point 2 of Decision 85/377/EEC is replaced by the following:

'For subsequent reference periods for renewing SGMs, the value of ECU 1 000 shall be multiplied by coefficients to take account, in monetary terms, of global agro-economic trends in the Community as a whole.

These coefficients shall be calculated by the Commission and fixed after consultation with the Member States. Their application shall be decided by the competent Commission departments after the competent departments in the Member States have been consulted.'
