FARM RETURN

I.   LAYOUT OF FARM RETURN

The data to be collected is classified by table and broken down into groups, categories and columns. The convention used to refer to a specific data field is: <table letter>.<group>.<category>[.<category>].<column>.

Specific data values are captured at the column level. In the tables as set out in Section III, clear cells are where data values can be accepted; greyed cells marked with a “-” have no meaning in the group context, so no data is accepted in those.

Examples:

| — | B.UT.20.A (column A of the group UT, category 20, from table B) represents the “Area” of “Rented UAA” to be recorded under the “UAA for tenant farming” in table B. |
| --- | --- |

—

B.UT.20.A (column A of the group UT, category 20, from table B) represents the “Area” of “Rented UAA” to be recorded under the “UAA for tenant farming” in table B.

| — | I.A.10110.1.0.TA (column TA of the group A, category 10110, from table I) represents the total area of “Common wheat and spelt” for type of crop 1 “Field scale crops — main crop, combined crop” and missing data code 0 “No data missing”). |
| --- | --- |

—

I.A.10110.1.0.TA (column TA of the group A, category 10110, from table I) represents the total area of “Common wheat and spelt” for type of crop 1 “Field scale crops — main crop, combined crop” and missing data code 0 “No data missing”).

Tables are represented by one letter, groups by one or more letters, categories by numeric codes and columns by one or more letters.

In Section III, for tables A to M, the first table shows the high level matrix for groups and columns. The second table shows how this breaks down for categories where each category is represented by one or more codes and sub-codes.

For each table category and column value, further definitions and instructions are set out in Section III after the table concerned.

II.   GENERAL DEFINITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS

| (a) | The data in the farm return shall relate to a single agricultural holding and to a single accounting year of 12 consecutive months. |
| --- | --- |

(a)

| (b) | Data in the farm return concern exclusively the agricultural holding. These data refer to the agricultural activities of the holding and to the other gainful activities (OGA) directly related to the holding. Except these activities, nothing connected with any non-farming activities of the holder or of his family, or with any pension, inheritance, private bank accounts, property external to the agricultural holding, personal taxation, private insurance, etc., is to be taken into account in preparing the farm returns. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

| (c) | Data given in a farm return are to be taken from accounts consisting of entries made systematically and regularly throughout the accounting year. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

| (d) | The accountancy data are expressed in money terms without VAT. |
| --- | --- |

(d)

| (e) | The accountancy data in money terms are expressed without taking into account grants and subsidies. Grants and subsidies are understood to be all forms of direct aid from public funds which have resulted in a specific receipt (see description in Table M “SUBSIDIES”). |
| --- | --- |

(e)

| (f) | The data in a farm return should be given in the following units and with the following degrees of accuracy:
  —   financial values: values in euro or in national monetary units without decimal. However, for national currencies where the unit represents a low relative value compared to the euro, it may be agreed between the liaison agency of the Member State in question and the staff of the Commission which manages the Farm Accountancy Data Network, to express the values in hundreds or thousands of national currency units,
  —   physical quantities: weight in quintals (q = 100 kg) except in the case of eggs, which will be expressed in thousands; volume of liquid in hectolitres (including wine and related products),
  —   areas: in ares, except in the case of mushrooms which will be expressed in square metres of total cropped area,
  —   average livestock numbers: to two decimal places,
  —   labour units: to two decimal places. |

A.ID.   Identification of the holding

A number is assigned to each returning holding when it is selected for the first time. The holding retains this number permanently for the duration of its inclusion in the accountancy network. A number once assigned is never allotted to another holding.

However, where the holding undergoes a fundamental change, and in particular where this change is the result of a subdivision into two separate holdings or of a merger with another holding, it may be considered as a new holding. In this case a new number is to be assigned to it. A change in the type of farming practised on the holding does not call for a new number. Where confusion with any other returning holding might result from the holding keeping the number it has (e.g. when new regional subdivisions are created), the number should be changed. A table showing the equivalence of old and new numbers is then to be forwarded to the Commission.

The holding number comprises three groups of indications as follows:

| A.ID.10.R. Division: a code number is to be given, corresponding to the code set in Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1291/2009 (1). |
| --- |

A.ID.10.R. Division: a code number is to be given, corresponding to the code set in Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1291/2009 (1).

| A.ID.10.S. Subdivision: a code number is to be given.
  The subdivisions chosen should be based on the common system of classification of the regions, referred to as the nomenclature of territorial statistical units (NUTS) established by the Eurostat in cooperation with the national institutes for statistics.
  In any case, the Member State concerned will transmit to the Commission a table indicating, for each subdivision code used, the corresponding NUTS regions, as well as the corresponding region for which specific values of standard output are calculated. |
| --- |

A.ID.10.S. Subdivision: a code number is to be given.

The subdivisions chosen should be based on the common system of classification of the regions, referred to as the nomenclature of territorial statistical units (NUTS) established by the Eurostat in cooperation with the national institutes for statistics.

In any case, the Member State concerned will transmit to the Commission a table indicating, for each subdivision code used, the corresponding NUTS regions, as well as the corresponding region for which specific values of standard output are calculated.

By labour is meant all persons who have been engaged on work on the farm during the accounting year (see hereafter). However, this does not include persons who have done this work on behalf of another person or undertaking (agricultural contract work, of which the costs appear in table H under code 1020).

In the case of mutual assistance between holdings, where this assistance consists of an exchange of work, the assistance received being equivalent in principle to the assistance given, the time worked by the farm labour and any related wages are specified in the farm return.

Sometimes assistance received is offset by assistance of another kind (e.g. aid received in the form of work is offset by the supply of machinery). When the exchange of services is on a limited scale, nothing is indicated in the farm return (in the above example, the aid received is not shown under labour; machinery costs, however, include the costs of making the equipment available). In exceptional cases, when the exchange of services is on a large scale, the procedure is one of the following:

| (a) | assistance received in the form of work is offset by a service of another kind (e.g. the supply of machinery): working time received is recorded as paid farm work (groups PR or PC depending on whether the labour is employed on the farm on a regular basis or otherwise); the value of the assistance given is recorded both as production under the corresponding category in other tables (in this example, table L category 2010 “Contractual work”) and as a cost (table H category 1010 “Wages and social security”); |
| --- | --- |

assistance received in the form of work is offset by a service of another kind (e.g. the supply of machinery): working time received is recorded as paid farm work (groups PR or PC depending on whether the labour is employed on the farm on a regular basis or otherwise); the value of the assistance given is recorded both as production under the corresponding category in other tables (in this example, table L category 2010 “Contractual work”) and as a cost (table H category 1010 “Wages and social security”);

| (b) | assistance given in the form of work is offset by services of a different kind (e.g. the supply of machinery): in this situation the working time provided and any related wages are left out of consideration; the value of the service received is recorded as an input under the corresponding group in another table (in this example, table H group 1020 “Contract work and machinery hire”). |

assistance given in the form of work is offset by services of a different kind (e.g. the supply of machinery): in this situation the working time provided and any related wages are left out of consideration; the value of the service received is recorded as an input under the corresponding group in another table (in this example, table H group 1020 “Contract work and machinery hire”).

The following groups of information and categories of labour are to be distinguished:

C.UR.   
  Unpaid regular labour

Unpaid labour or labour which receives less remuneration (in cash or in kind) than the amount normally paid for the services rendered (such payment should not appear in farm costs) and which during the accounting year participated (outside normal holidays) for at least a whole day of each week.

A person employed regularly but who, for special reasons, has been engaged on the farm only for a limited period in the accounting year is nevertheless entered (for the number of hours actually worked) as regular labour.

The following cases or similar ones may arise:

| (a) | special production conditions on the farm for which labour is not required throughout the year: e.g. olive or vine holdings, and farms specialising in the seasonal fattening of animals or in the production of fruit and vegetables in the open; |
| --- | --- |

| (d) | total cessation of work on the holding due to accidental causes (flood, fire, etc.). |
| --- | --- |

(d)

total cessation of work on the holding due to accidental causes (flood, fire, etc.).

There are the following categories:

C.UR.10.   Holder/manager

Person who assumes economic and legal responsibility for the holding and undertakes its day-to-day management. In the case of sharecropping, the sharecropper is indicated as holder/manager.

C.UR.20.   Holder/not manager

Person who assumes economic and legal responsibility for the holding without undertaking its day-to-day management.

C.UR.30   Manager/not holder

Person who undertakes day-to-day management of the holding without assumption of economic and legal responsibility for it.

C.UR.40.   Spouse(s) of holder(s)

C.UR.50.   Other unpaid regular labour

Regular unpaid labour not included in the preceding categories includes also foreman and sub-managers not responsible for management of the whole farm.

C.UC.   
  Unpaid casual labour

C.UC.60.   Unpaid labour which has not worked regularly on the holding during the accounting year is aggregated under this category.

C.PR.   
  Paid regular labour

Labour paid (in cash and/or in kind) on the normal scale for services rendered and which during the accounting year (excluding normal holidays) worked for at least one whole day per week for the holding.

The following categories are to be shown:

C.PR.70.   Farm manager

Salaried person responsible for the day-to-day management of the holding.

C.PR.50.   Others

All regular paid labour (except for the holding’s salaried manager) is aggregated under this group. Includes also foreman and sub-managers not responsible for management of the whole farm.

C.PC.   
  Paid casual labour

| C.PC.60. | Paid labour which did not regularly work on the holding during the accounting year (including piece workers) is aggregated under this category. |
| --- | --- |

C.PC.60.

COLUMNS IN TABLE C

Number of persons (column P)

Where there are several holders, there may be more than one spouse. The number of spouses and the number of persons should be indicated in the categories where they can appear (categories 40 and 50 from the groups “unpaid regular labour” UR or “paid regular labour” PR).

Gender (column G)

The gender should be given only the holder(s) and/or manager(s), in the categories where they can appear (categories 10 to 30 and 70 from groups “regular unpaid labour” UR or “regular paid labour” PR). The gender is indicated by a code number, i.e.:

| 1. | male; |
| --- | --- |
| 2. | female. |

1.

male;

2.

female.

Year of birth (column B)

The year of birth should be given only for the holder(s) and/or manager(s) (categories 10 to 30 and 70 from groups “regular unpaid labour” UR or “regular paid labour” PR) using the four figures of the year of birth.

Agricultural training of the manager (column T)

The agricultural training should be given only the manager(s) (categories 10, 30 and 70 from groups “unpaid regular labour” UR or “paid regular labour” PR). The agricultural training is indicated by a code number, i.e.:

| 1. | only practical agricultural experience; |
| --- | --- |
| 2. | basic agricultural training; |
| 3. | full agricultural training. |

1.

only practical agricultural experience;

2.

basic agricultural training;

3.

full agricultural training.

Annual time worked (column Y1)

Time worked should be indicated in hours for all groups and categories. It should refer to the time actually devoted to the work of the holding. In the case of less able workers the time worked should be reduced in proportion to their capacities. The time worked by piecework labour is estimated by dividing the total amount paid for the work by the hourly wage of a worker employed on a time basis.

Total work force: number of annual units (column W1)

Regularly employed work force is converted into annual work units. The number of annual work unit is not recorded for casual labour (both unpaid casual UC and paid casual PC labour). One annual work unit is equivalent to one person working full-time on the holding. One person cannot exceed one work unit equivalent, even if his actual working time exceeds the norm for the region and type of holding. A person who does not work the whole year on the holding represents a fraction of an “annual unit”. The “annual work unit” of each such person is obtained by dividing his actual annual working time by the normal annual working time of a full-time worker in the region under consideration and on the same type of holding.

In the case of less able workers the annual work unit equivalent should be reduced in proportion to their capacities.

Share of work for other gainful activities directly related to the holding (OGA) in % of annual time worked (column Y2)

The share of work for OGA in terms of time worked is compulsory only for the casual labour (for both unpaid and paid casual labour). It is optional for the spouse(s) of the holder(s), the other unpaid regular labour, and the other paid regular labour. For each category concerned (40, 50, 60), it is given in % of hours worked during the accounting year.

Share of work for other gainful activities directly related to the holding (OGA) in % of annual work units (column W2)

The share of work for OGA in terms of annual work units is compulsory for all categories of labour except casual labour (both unpaid casual UC and paid casual PC labour). It is given in % of annual work unit for each category.

There is only one column (V) value.

Valuation methods

The following valuation methods are used:

| fair value less the estimate point-of-sale costs | amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction less the cost estimated to incur in relation to the sale | 2010, 3010, 5010, 7010 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| historical cost | nominal or original cost of an asset when acquired | 3020, 3030, 4010, 7020 |
| book value | value at which an asset is carried on a balance sheet | 1010, 1020, 1030, 1040, 8010 |

fair value less the estimate point-of-sale costs

amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction less the cost estimated to incur in relation to the sale

2010, 3010, 5010, 7010

historical cost

nominal or original cost of an asset when acquired

3020, 3030, 4010, 7020

book value

value at which an asset is carried on a balance sheet

1010, 1020, 1030, 1040, 8010

D.OV.   Opening valuation

Opening valuation is the value of assets at the beginning of the accounting year. For the farms present in the sample also in the previous year, the opening valuation has to be equal to the closing valuation of the previous year.

D.AD.   Accumulated depreciation

Is the sum of depreciation of assets from the start of its life until the end of the previous period.

D.DY.   Depreciation of the current year

Systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life.

A table with the annual rates of depreciation applied by each Member State should be communicated to the Commission observing the same deadlines as those set for introduction of annual data.

D.IP.   Investments/Purchases

Total expenditure on purchases, major repairs and the production of fixed assets during the accounting year. Where grants and subsidies have been received in respect of these investments, the amount expended before deducting the said grants and subsidies is entered in column IP.

Purchases of minor items of machinery and equipment as well as of young trees and bushes for a minor replanting operation do not appear in these columns but are included in the costs for the accounting year.

Major repairs which effectively increase the value of the machinery and equipment compared to their value before repair, are also included under this column, either as an integral part of the machinery or equipment depreciation, which, as appropriate, will be adjusted to take account of the extended life (due to the repairs) of the item in question or by spreading the cost of the major repairs over the expected useful life.

The value of the fixed assets produced is to be assessed on the basis of their cost (including the value of the paid and/or unpaid labour) and must be added to the value of the fixed assets given under codes 2010 to 8010 of table D “ASSETS”.

D.S.   Investment subsidies

Current portion of all subsidies received (in previous or current accounting years) for assets recorded in this table.

D.SA.   Sales

Total sales of assets during the accounting year.

D.CV.   Closing valuation

Closing valuation is the value of assets at the end of the accounting year.

Comments

For items 2010, 3010, 5010 and 7010 the difference between OV+IP-SA and CV is considered as an income or loss (coming from both change in unit price and volume) for these assets for the accounting year.

Information about Biological assets — animals is recorded in the table J “Livestock production”.

Data in monetary terms in the farm return are expressed exclusive of VAT.

The following details on VAT should be provided as categories:

1010.   Main VAT system in the farm

1.   Normal VAT system— the VAT system which is guaranteed to be income-neutral for agricultural holdings as the VAT balance is cleared with tax authorities.

2.   Partial offsetting system— the VAT system which does not guarantee to be income-neutral for agricultural holdings, although it may contain some approximate mechanism to offset VAT paid and received.

1020.   Minority VAT system in the farm

Codes as defined for the main VAT system.

There is only one group of information (VA) VAT system in the farm. There are three columns: (C) code of the VAT system, (NI) balance non-investments transactions and (I) balance investment transactions.

For the normal VAT system only its indication is entered. If the holding is subject to the partial offsetting system of VAT then also the VAT balance non-investments transactions and VAT balance investment transactions have to be provided.

When VAT turnover increases the revenue of the holding, the above VAT balance is a positive figure. In case of decreased revenue, the balance is negative.

Farm inputs (costs in cash and in kind, and quantities of selected inputs) relate to the “consumption” of productive resources (including farm use of own produced inputs) corresponding to the output of the farm during the accounting year or to the “consumption” of those resources during the accounting year. When certain use relates partly to private use and partly to farm use (e.g. electricity, water, heating fuels and engine fuels, etc.) only the latter part should be included in the farm return. The proportion of the use of private cars corresponding to their use for farm purposes should also be included.

In calculating costs relating to the output of the accounting year the purchases and farm use during the year should be adjusted for valuation changes (including changes in cultivations). For each item the total of costs paid for and the value of the farm use should be recorded separately.

Where the costs indicated are for the total “consumption” of inputs during the accounting year but do not correspond to production during that year, changes in stocks of inputs (including costs accruing to growing crops) should be indicated under an appropriate code of circulating capital.

When the holding’s production resources (paid or unpaid labour, machinery or equipment) are used to increase fixed assets (construction or major repairs of machinery, construction, major repairs or even demolition of buildings, planting or felling of fruit trees), the corresponding costs — or an estimate thereof — are not to be included in the working costs of the holding. In any case, labour costs and hours worked to produce fixed assets are to be excluded from both costs and data on labour. In exceptional cases, if certain costs (other than labour costs) used to produce fixed assets cannot be calculated separately (e.g. use of the holding’s tractor) and if these expenses are then included under costs, an estimate of all these costs used to produce fixed assets is to be entered in Table I “Crops” with the category of crop code 90900 (“Other”).

The costs relating to “consumption” of capital assets are represented by depreciation, hence expenditure on acquisition of capital assets should not be treated as a farm cost. For instructions on depreciation see in Table D “Assets”.

Expenditure on cost items compensated during the accounting year or later (e.g. repairs to a tractor as a result of an accident covered by an insurance policy or by a third party liability) should not be entered as farm costs, and the corresponding receipts should not be included in the farm’s accounts.

Receipts from resale of purchased supplies are to be deducted from corresponding inputs.

Grants and subsidies related to costs are not deducted from the corresponding cost items but are entered under appropriate codes 4100 to 4900 in table M “Subsidies” (see instructions regarding those codes). Investment grants and subsidies are shown in table D “Assets”.

Costs also include any expenditure on purchases relating to each cost item.

Inputs are classified as follows:

1010.   Wages and social security costs for paid labour

This item includes the following:

| — | salaries and wages actually paid in cash to wage earners irrespective of the basis of remuneration (piecework or by the hour), with deduction of any social allowances paid to the holder as employer to offset the payment of a salary which does not correspond to actual work done (e.g. absence from work due to an accident, vocational training, etc.), |

| — | salaries and wages in kind (e.g. lodging, board, housing, farm produce, etc.), |
| --- | --- |

| — | occupational accident insurance. |
| --- | --- |

—

occupational accident insurance.

The holder’s personal social security charges and insurance and those of unpaid labour should not be regarded as farm costs.

The amounts received by unpaid workers (which by definition are lower than a normal wage — see definition of unpaid labour) should not appear in the farm return.

Allowances (in cash or in kind) paid to retired paid workers no longer employed on the holding should not be entered under this item but under the code “Other farming overheads”.

1020.   Contract work and machinery hire

This item includes the following:

| — | total expenditure in respect of work on the farm carried out by agricultural contractors. This generally includes the cost of the use of equipment (including fuel) and the work. In case the cost of the materials employed other than fuel (i.e. crop protection products, fertilisers and seeds) is also included in the contract, the cost of these materials should be excluded. This amount (if necessary by estimation) should be entered under the corresponding cost item (e.g. pesticides to be recorded under code 3040 “Crop protection products”), |
| --- | --- |

—

total expenditure in respect of work on the farm carried out by agricultural contractors. This generally includes the cost of the use of equipment (including fuel) and the work. In case the cost of the materials employed other than fuel (i.e. crop protection products, fertilisers and seeds) is also included in the contract, the cost of these materials should be excluded. This amount (if necessary by estimation) should be entered under the corresponding cost item (e.g. pesticides to be recorded under code 3040 “Crop protection products”),

| — | cost of hiring machines operated by the farm’s labour. The fuel costs related to the use of the rented machinery, should be recorded under code 1040 “Motor fuels and lubricants”, |
| --- | --- |

—

cost of hiring machines operated by the farm’s labour. The fuel costs related to the use of the rented machinery, should be recorded under code 1040 “Motor fuels and lubricants”,

| — | cost of leasing machines operated by the farm’s labour. The fuel and maintenance costs of leased machines should be recorded under the relevant codes (codes 1030 “Current upkeep of machinery and equipment” and 1040 “Motor fuels and lubricants”). |
| --- | --- |

—

cost of leasing machines operated by the farm’s labour. The fuel and maintenance costs of leased machines should be recorded under the relevant codes (codes 1030 “Current upkeep of machinery and equipment” and 1040 “Motor fuels and lubricants”).

1030.   Current upkeep of machinery and equipment

Cost of upkeep of machinery and equipment and of minor repairs not affecting the market value of the appliances (payment of mechanic, cost of replacement parts, etc.).

This item includes purchases of minor equipment, the cost of saddlery and horse shoeing, the purchase of tyres, forcing frames, protective clothing for unsanitary work, detergents for the cleaning of equipment in general, and the proportion of the cost of private cars corresponding to their use for farm purposes (see also code 1050). Detergents used for cleaning livestock equipment (e.g. milking machines) are entered under code 2090 “Other specific livestock costs”.

Major repairs which increase the value of equipment, compared with its value before repairs, are not included under this code (see also instructions on depreciation in Table D “Assets”).

1040.   Motor fuels and lubricants

This item also includes the proportion of fuel and lubricant costs for private cars corresponding to their use for farm purposes (see also code 1050).

Where the products are employed both as motor fuels and as heating fuels, the total sum is divided into two codes:

| 1040. | “Motor fuels and lubricants”. |
| --- | --- |
| 5030. | “Heating fuels”. |

1040.

“Motor fuels and lubricants”.

5030.

“Heating fuels”.

1050.   Car expenses

Where the farm proportion of expenditure on private cars is calculated arbitrarily (e.g. a fixed amount per km), these costs are indicated under this code.

Feedstuffs

Used feedstuffs are divided into those purchased and those produced on the farm.

The purchased feedstuffs include mineral licks, milk products (bought or returned to the farm) and products for the preservation and storage of feedstuffs, as well as the expenditure on agistment, on the use of common pasture and grazing land not included in the UAA and on renting forage land not included in the UAA. Purchased litter and straw are also included with purchased feedstuffs.

Feedstuffs purchased for grazing stock are subdivided into concentrated feedstuffs and coarse fodder (including agistments and expenditure on the use of common pastures, grazing land and forage land not included in the UAA, and purchased litter and straw).

The code 2010 “Purchased concentrated feedstuffs for grazing stock (equines, ruminants)” includes in particular oilcakes, compound feeds, cereals, dried grass, dried sugar beet pulp, fish meal, milk and dairy products, minerals and products for the preservation and storage of such feedstuffs.

Expenditure on work carried out by agricultural contractors for the production of coarse fodder, e.g. silage, is entered under code 1020 “Contract work and machinery hire”.

Feedstuffs produced and used on the farm include saleable farm products used as feedstuffs (including milk and milk products but excluding milk suckled by calves, which is not taken into account). Litter and straw produced on the holding are only included if they are a saleable product in the region and year in question.

The following breakdown is to be given:

| Purchased feedstuffs:

The information on crop production during the accounting year is to be recorded in the format of Table I “Crops”. Information on each crop is to be recorded in a separate record. The content of the table is defined by selecting a category of crop code, the type of crop code and the missing data code.

Detailed information concerning potatoes (codes 10310, 10390), fresh vegetables, melons and strawberries (codes 10731, 10732, 10733, 10734, 10735, 10736, 10737, 10738, 10739, 10790), flowers and ornamental plants (codes 10830, 10840, 10850) and crop by-products other than from olives and vine (codes 90310, 90320, 90330) has to be provided only if the data is available in the farm accounts.

GROUPS OF INFORMATION IN TABLE I

Table I has seven rows containing the following groups of information: area (A), opening valuation (OV), closing valuation (CV), production (PR), sales (SA), farm household consumption and benefits in kind (FC) and farm use (FU).

Table I has six columns where for each crop, namely: the total area (TA), the area which is irrigated (IR), the area which is used for energy crops (EN), the area which is used for the production of GMO crops (GM), the quantity of production and sales (Q) and the value (V) are to be recorded. In the following it is described for each group of information which columns have to be completed:

I.A   Area

For the group of information area (A), the total area (TA), the area which is irrigated (IR), the area which is used for energy crops (EN) and the area which is used for the production of GMO crops (GM) are to be recorded. In each case the area is to be given in ares (100 ares = 1 hectare), except in the case of land used for mushroom growing which is given in square metres.

I.OV   Opening valuation

For the group of information opening valuation (OV), the value (V) of products in stock (storage) at the beginning of the accounting year is to be recorded. The products should be valued at farm-gate prices on the day of valuation.

I.CV   Closing valuation

For the group of information closing valuation (CV), the value (V) of products in stock (storage) at the end of the accounting year is to be recorded. The products should be valued at farm-gate prices on the day of valuation.

I.PR   Production

For the group of information production (PR) the quantities of crops produced (Q) during the accounting year (excluding any losses in the field and at the farm) are to be recorded. These quantities are indicated for the principal products of the holding (except by-products).

These quantities should be indicated in quintals (100 kg) with the exemption of wine and wine-related products, which are expressed in hectolitres. When, because of the conditions of sale, actual production in quintals cannot be determined (see sales of standing crops and crops under contract), missing data code 2 should be entered for the crops under contract and code 3 in the other cases.

I.SA   Total sales

For the group of information total sales (SA) the quantity of sales (Q) and the value of sales (V) of products in stock at the start of the accounting year or harvested during the year are to be recorded. When marketing costs, if any, are known, they are not deducted from the sales total, but should be recorded in table H “Inputs”.

I.FC   Farm household consumption and benefits in kind

For the group of information farm household consumption and benefits in kind (FC) the value (V) of the products consumed by the holder’s household and/or used for payments in kind for goods and services (including remuneration in kind) are to be recorded. The products in question are valued at farm-gate prices.

I.FU   Farm use

For the group of information farm use (FU) the farm-gate value (V) of the holding’s products in stock (storage) at the beginning of the accounting year and/or produced during the year, used as inputs on the holding during the year are to be recorded. This includes:

| — | animal feed:
  the farm-gate value of the holding’s saleable products (products which are currently marketable) used during the year as animal feed. The holding’s straw used on the farm (as fodder and bedding) is valued only when it is a saleable product in the region and for the year under consideration. The products concerned are valued at the “farm-gate” selling price, |

The definition of “Other Gainful Activities” (OGA) is the same as established in point VI of Annex II to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1200/2009 (11) and in the Community typology for agricultural holdings (Article 4 of and Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1242/2008). This definition follows, except in exceptional cases, the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community (NACE rev.2) and the Manual of Economic Accounts for Agriculture and Forestry EAA/EAF 97 rev.1.1.

OGA directly related to the holding refer to the non-agricultural activities having an economic impact on the holding and which are using the agricultural resources (means of production or products) of the holding.

Gainful activities in this context mean active work; pure financial investments are therefore excluded. Renting out the land or other farm’s agricultural resources for diverse activities without being further involved in these activities is not considered as an OGA but as part of the agricultural activity of the holding.

All processing of farm products are considered as OGA unless the processing is regarded as a part of agricultural activity. Wine processing and olive oil production are therefore excluded unless the bought-in proportion of wine or olive oil is significant.

All processing of a primary agricultural product to a processed secondary product on the holding, regardless of whether the raw material is produced on the holding or bought from outside are considered as OGA. This includes processing meat, making cheese, etc.

Categories of other gainful activities directly related to the farm

The following categories of OGA should be distinguished:

| 261. | Processing of cow’s milk |
| --- | --- |
| 262. | Processing of buffalo’s milk |

| 900. | Processing of meat or other animal products |
| 1010. | Processing of crop products, excluding wine and olive oil. It includes production of alcohol other than from grapes, cider or perry. |
| 1020. | Forestry and wood processing. It covers the sales of felled and standing timber, of forestry products other than timber (cork, pine resin, etc.) and of processed wood during the accounting year. |
| 2010. | Contract work for others. Hiring out of equipment of the holding without farm labour force or using only farm labour force in contract work are not considered as OGA but as part of the agricultural activity. |
| 2020. | Tourism, accommodation, catering and other leisure activities. They include rent from tourism (camping sites, cottages, riding facilities, hunting, fishing, etc.). |
| 2030. | Production of renewable energy. It covers the production of renewable energy for the market including biogas, biofuels or electricity, by wind turbines, other equipment or from agricultural raw materials. It excludes, as considered being part of the agricultural activity of the holding:

Table M “SUBSIDIES” covers grants and subsidies received by agricultural holdings from public bodies, both National and Union, excluding grants and subsidies on investments (these are to be recorded in Table D “ASSETS”).

As a general rule, grants and subsidies registered in Table M correspond to the current accounting year regardless of when the payment is received (accounting year is equal to claim year). Rural development payments other than LFA payments constitute an exception to this general rule as registered amounts should refer to payments actually received during the accounting year (accounting year is equal to payment year).

Grants and subsidies are defined by type of subsidy, financing and basic unit. For each entry, Table M gives the number of basic units (N) and the amount received (V). There might be several records per category of subsidy as the basic units and/or financing origins might differ.’

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1321/2013

of 10 December 2013

establishing the Union list of authorised smoke flavouring primary products for use as such in or on foods and/or for the production of derived smoke flavourings

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 November 2003 on smoke flavourings used or intended to be used in or on foods (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003 provides for the initial establishment of a Union list of authorised smoke flavouring primary products (hereinafter referred to as ‘primary products’). That list is to be established on the basis of applications for authorisation submitted by business operators and the opinion issued by the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) on the relevant primary product. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003 provides for the initial establishment of a Union list of authorised smoke flavouring primary products (hereinafter referred to as ‘primary products’). That list is to be established on the basis of applications for authorisation submitted by business operators and the opinion issued by the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) on the relevant primary product.

| (2) | In accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003, the Authority received 14 valid applications for authorisation of primary products before 16 June 2005. Three applications have been withdrawn. Therefore the Authority has evaluated in total 11 primary products. One evaluated application has been withdrawn after completion of the evaluation. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003, the Authority received 14 valid applications for authorisation of primary products before 16 June 2005. Three applications have been withdrawn. Therefore the Authority has evaluated in total 11 primary products. One evaluated application has been withdrawn after completion of the evaluation.

| (3) | According to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003 the authorisation of smoke flavourings may be subject to specific conditions of use and according to Article 9(3) of that Regulation authorisations should be granted for 10 years, renewable in accordance with Article 12 of that Regulation. |

(3)

According to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003 the authorisation of smoke flavourings may be subject to specific conditions of use and according to Article 9(3) of that Regulation authorisations should be granted for 10 years, renewable in accordance with Article 12 of that Regulation.

| (4) | Primary products and derived smoke flavourings are used in or on food to impart a smoke taste or to complement another flavour without imparting smoke flavour. They are also used to smoke meat, fish and dairy products. The refined exposure study carried out by Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu (RIVM) (2) shows that regardless of the exposure calculation method used, the main contributors to the high intake are predominantly foods that used to be traditionally smoked, such as cooked smoked sausage and bacon. The food groups that are not traditionally smoked, such as crisps, soups and sauces, do not significantly affect exposure. Because primary products are produced from smoke which is subjected to fractionation and purification processes, the use of smoke flavourings is generally considered to be of less health concern than the use of smoke that is made by burning wood or by heating saw dust or small wood chips (3). |

ANNEX

Union list of authorised smoke flavouring primary products for use as such in or on foods and/or for the production of derived smoke flavourings

| Note 1: | Maximum levels refer to levels in or on food as marketed. By way of derogation from this principle, for dried and/or concentrated foods which need to be reconstituted the maximum levels shall apply to the food as reconstituted according to the instructions on the label taking into account the minimum dilution factor. If primary products are used for the production of the derived smoke flavourings, the maximum levels shall be adjusted accordingly. |
| --- | --- |

Note 1:

| Note 2: | When combinations of smoke flavourings are used in or on foodstuffs, the individual levels shall be reduced proportionally. |
| --- | --- |

Note 2:

| Note 3: | In case smoke flavourings are permitted to be used in processed meat (food category 8.2) or in processed fish and fishery products (food category 9.2) and these foods are smoked in a smoking chamber by regenerating smoke by using these permitted smoke flavourings, the use shall be in accordance with good manufacturing practices. |
| --- | --- |

Note 3:

| Note 4: | The presence of a smoke flavouring shall be permitted:






  (a) | in a compound food other than as referred to in the Annex, where the primary product is permitted in one of the ingredients of the compound food; |

of 11 December 2013

on the granting of unlimited duty-free access to the Union for 2014 to certain goods originating in Norway resulting from the processing of agricultural products covered by Council Regulation (EC) No 1216/2009

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1216/2009 of 30 November 2009 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,

Having regard to Council Decision 2004/859/EC of 25 October 2004 concerning the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway on Protocol 2 to the bilateral Free Trade Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Protocol No 2 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (3), of 14 May 1973 and Protocol 3 to the EEA Agreement, as amended by Decisions of the EEA Joint Committee No 140/2001 (4) and No 138/2004 (5) (hereinafter referred to as ‘Protocol 3 to the EEA Agreement’) determine the trade arrangements for certain agricultural and processed agricultural products between the Contracting Parties. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Protocol No 2 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (3), of 14 May 1973 and Protocol 3 to the EEA Agreement, as amended by Decisions of the EEA Joint Committee No 140/2001 (4) and No 138/2004 (5) (hereinafter referred to as ‘Protocol 3 to the EEA Agreement’) determine the trade arrangements for certain agricultural and processed agricultural products between the Contracting Parties.

| (2) | Protocol 3 to the EEA Agreement provides for a zero duty applying to waters containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavoured, classified under CN code 2202 10 00, and other non-alcoholic beverages containing sugar or other sweetening matter or flavoured but not containing products of headings 0401 to 0404 or fat obtained from products of headings 0401 to 0404, classified under CN code 2202 90 10. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Protocol 3 to the EEA Agreement provides for a zero duty applying to waters containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavoured, classified under CN code 2202 10 00, and other non-alcoholic beverages containing sugar or other sweetening matter or flavoured but not containing products of headings 0401 to 0404 or fat obtained from products of headings 0401 to 0404, classified under CN code 2202 90 10.

| (3) | The zero duty for the waters and other beverages in question has been temporarily suspended for Norway by the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway concerning Protocol 2 to the bilateral Free Trade Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (6) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters’) approved by Decision 2004/859/EC. According to the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters, duty free imports of goods of the CN codes 2202 10 00 and ex 2202 90 10 originating in Norway are to be permitted only within the limits of a duty free quota while a duty is to be paid for imports outside the quota allocation. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

The zero duty for the waters and other beverages in question has been temporarily suspended for Norway by the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway concerning Protocol 2 to the bilateral Free Trade Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (6) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters’) approved by Decision 2004/859/EC. According to the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters, duty free imports of goods of the CN codes 2202 10 00 and ex 2202 90 10 originating in Norway are to be permitted only within the limits of a duty free quota while a duty is to be paid for imports outside the quota allocation.

| (4) | Furthermore, the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters requires that the products in question be granted unlimited duty-free access to the Union if the tariff quota has not been exhausted by 31 October of the previous year. According to data provided to the Commission, the annual quota for 2013 for the waters and beverages in question opened by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1085/2012 (7) had not been exhausted by 31 October 2013. Therefore, the products in question should be granted unlimited duty free access to the Union from 1 January to 31 December 2014. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

Furthermore, the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters requires that the products in question be granted unlimited duty-free access to the Union if the tariff quota has not been exhausted by 31 October of the previous year. According to data provided to the Commission, the annual quota for 2013 for the waters and beverages in question opened by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1085/2012 (7) had not been exhausted by 31 October 2013. Therefore, the products in question should be granted unlimited duty free access to the Union from 1 January to 31 December 2014.

| (5) | It is therefore necessary not to apply for 2014 the temporary suspension of the duty free regime applied under Protocol No 2 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway of 14 May 1973. |
| --- | --- |

(5)

It is therefore necessary not to apply for 2014 the temporary suspension of the duty free regime applied under Protocol No 2 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway of 14 May 1973.

| (6) | For reasons of legal certainty, it is appropriate to repeal provisions of Union law which no longer produce legal effects with regard to present or future situations. Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1085/2012 should therefore be repealed. |
| --- | --- |

(6)

For reasons of legal certainty, it is appropriate to repeal provisions of Union law which no longer produce legal effects with regard to present or future situations. Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1085/2012 should therefore be repealed.

(2013/747/EU, Euratom)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 of 29 May 1989 on the definitive uniform arrangements for the collection of own resources accruing from value added tax (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Under Article 371 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (2), Member States which, at 1 January 1978, exempted the transactions listed in Annex X, Part B, may continue to exempt those transactions, in accordance with the conditions applying in the Member State concerned on that date; these transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT resources base. |

| (2) | The United Kingdom has requested authorisation from the Commission to use certain approximate estimates for the calculation of the VAT own resources base since it is unable to make the precise calculation of the VAT own resources base for transactions referred to in point (9) of Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC. Such calculation is likely to involve an unjustified administrative burden in relation to the effect of these transactions on the United Kingdom’s total VAT own resources base. The United Kingdom is able to make a calculation using approximate estimates for this category of transactions. The United Kingdom should therefore be authorised to calculate the VAT own resources base using approximate estimates in accordance with the second indent of Article 6(3) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89. |
