THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 571/88 of 29 February
1988 on the organisation of Community surveys on the structure ofagricultural holdings (
1), as last amended by Commission Decision 98/
377/EC (2) and in particular Article 8(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)In accordance with Article 8(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 571/88,
any changes to the list of survey characteristics, as well as to thedefinitions of the survey characteristics and to the delimitation of
the regions, survey districts and other territorial units, are laid
down under the procedure given in Article 15 of this Regulation,i.e. by Commission decision following the Opinion delivered bythe Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics;
(2)The results of the Community surveys on the structure of agri-cultural holdings provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 571/88can be in concordance throughout the European Communityonly if the terms contained in the list of characteristics areunderstood and applied in a uniform manner;
(3)The list of survey characteristics has been last amended by Deci-sion 98/377/EC in view of the 1999/2000 basic survey on thestructure of agricultural holdings and whereas Commission Deci-
sion 89/651/EEC (
3), as last amended by Decision 97/418/EC (4),
lays down the definitions, the list of agricultural products, theexceptions to the definitions applied in certain Member Statesand the regions and survey districts to be applied in the frame-work of the 1988 to 1997 structure surveys; whereas as aconsequence Decision 89/651/EEC has to be adapted and supple-
mented;
(4)New variables have been added to the list of characteristics;
whereas the development of agriculture has made it necessary
to revise the definitions of various old variables; whereas Annex
I to the present Commission Decision therefore contains a newlist of definitions in view of the Community structure surveysafter 1997;
(5)The list of agricultural products referred to in the definition ofagricultural holdings and the list of exceptions to the Communitydefinitions due to peculiar circumstances in certain MemberStates also need to be revised; whereas these revised lists ofagricultural products and of the accepted exceptions to the list
of definitions are contained in Annex II and III to the present
Commission Decision;
(6)There is a need for a greater clarity of the correlation between
the nomenclature of statistical territorial units (NUTS) and the
regions and districts used for the purposes of the agriculturalstructure surveys; whereas it is useful if these regions and2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 2

ANNEX I
DEFINITIONSAND EXPLANATIONSAPPLICABLE TO THE LIST OF
CHARACTERISTICS TO BE USEDFOR COMMUNITY SURVEYS ON
THESTRUCTUREOFAGRICULTURALHOLDINGS
(I =definitions, II =explanatory notes)
AGRICULTURALHOLDING
I. A single unit both technically and economically, which has
single management and which produces agricultural
products. The holding may also provide other supplemen-
tary (non-agricultural) products and services.
II. 1. An agricultural holding is thus defined by the
following criteria:
1.1. production of agricultural products
‘agricultural products’ are taken to be those products
listed in Annex II;
1.2. single management
there can be single management even though this is
carried out by two or more persons acting jointly;
1.3. a single unit technically and economically
in general this is indicated by a common use of
labour and means of production (machinery, build-
ings or land, etc.).
2. Special cases
2.1. (a) When a holding is for tax or other reasons split
upamong two or more p ersons, but still has a
single management (one common manager) and
it can so be considered to be one economic unit,
it is considered as one single holding;
(b) when two or more separate holdings, each
having previously been an independent holding,
have been integrated in the hands of a single
holder, they are considered to be a single holding
if they now have a common manager or if they
otherwise use the same labour and equipment.
2.2. If a parcel of land has been retained by the former
holder when transferring the holding to his successor
(heir, tenant, etc.), it is:
(a) included with the successor's holding if the
retained land is worked in conjunction with the
rest of the holding and if in general the same
labour force and means of production as for the
rest of the holding are employed;
(b) attributed to the previous holder's holding if
normally worked with the labour force and
means of production of that holding.
2.3. The following are counted as agricultural holdings if
they fulfil the other criteria defining an agricultural
holding mentioned above:
(a) bull, boar, ram and billy-goat breeding stations,
studs and hatcheries;
(b) the agricultural holdings of research institutes,
sanatoria and convalescent homes, religious
communities, schools and prisons;
(c) agricultural holdings which form part of indus-
trial enterprises;2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 4
▼M1
(d) common land consisting of pasture, horticultural
or other land, if the land is operated as an agri-
cultural holding by the local authority concerned
(e.g. by the taking in of other persons' cattle to
graze at a certain rate). The following are not
considered here:
— common land allotted (C/3);
— common land which has been rented out (C/
2).
2.4. The following are not counted as agricultural hold-
ings, unless they have other activities which qualify
them for inclusion:
(a) riding stables, racing stables, gallops (i.e. land
used for exercising racehorses), if they do not
have breeding activities;
(b) kennels;
(c) markets, abattoirs, etc. (without rearing).
2.5. Separate holdings may put resources for one parti-
cular farm activity together to form a distinct joint
enterprise that is run separately from the holdings
behind it (the parent holdings). These enterprises
can be, for example, common orchards, common
cattle lots, common dairy buildings. It is a case of
partial fusion and these joint enterprises are here
called ‘single-product group-holdings’. These‘single-product group-holdings’ are treated as agri-
cultural holdings independent of the ‘parent’
holdings if they mainly use their own factors of
production and do not rely mainly on the factors of
production of the ‘parent’ holdings.
A. GEOGRAPHICALSITUATIONOFTHEHOLDING
II. The holding and all the information relating to it is
recorded as being in that district and municipality or
subsurvey district where the headquarters of the holding is
situated (A/1).
The headquarters of the holding is defined according to
Member States' documented own rules.
In the case where the holding is only partially located in a
certain type of area (for example less-favoured area), it is
classified as being within this area if either the greater
part of the land belonging to the holding or the headquar-
ters of the holding is located in this area. One of these
rules should be chosen and applied for all holdings and
for each item A/1 to A/3.
A/1 Surveydistrict
I. The geographical situation of each holding is described by
a code indicating the country, the region and the survey
district.
II. The regions and districts for the purposes of the agricul-
tural structure surveys are listed in Annex IV.
A/1 (a) Municipality or subsurvey district
I. The geographical situation is described by a code, indi-
cating the municipality or subsurvey district, which allows
an aggregation of the results by different kinds of zones at
regional level.
II. The municipality or subsurvey district codes used conform
to levels 4 or 5 of the nomenclature of statistical territorial
units (NUTS). If these codes cannot be transmitted, the
Member State communicates instead, for each holding, the
information indicated in characteristics A/2, A/2(a) and A/
3.2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 5
▼M1
A/2 Less-favouredarea
I. Areas designated, on the date of the survey, as less-
favoured within the meaning of Articles 18, 19 and 20 of
Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 (1), (and, where
applicable, the most recent legislation), appearing in the
Community list of less-favoured agricultural areas as
communicated by the Member States in application of
said Regulation.
II. Less-favoured areas include mountain areas (A/2(a)), areas
affected by specific handicaps, and other less-favoured
areas.
A/2 (a) Mountain area
I. Areas designated, on the date of the survey, as mountain
areas within the meaning of Article 18 of Regulation (EC)
No 1257/1999 (and, where applicable, the most recent
legislation) and appearing in the Community list of less-
favoured agricultural areas as communicated by Member
States in application of said regulation.
A/3 Agriculturalareaswithenvironmentalrestrictions
I. Areas designated, on the date of the survey, as agricultural
areas with environmental restrictions within the meaning of
Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 (and, where
applicable, the most recent legislation).
II. Farmers can receive payments for costs and lost income
due to environmental restrictions on their agricultural areas.
Those restrictions should be the result of the implementa-
tion of limitations on agricultural use based on
Community environmental protection rules.
Areas with restrictions that are based only on national or
regional rules are excluded.
The areas can be situated in less-favoured areas.These areas are mainly Natura 2000 areas, i.e. special
conservation/protection areas hosting threatened natural
habitat types and species (based on Council Directive 92/
43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural
habitats and of wild fauna and flora (OJ L 206, 22.7.1992,
pp. 7 to 50).
B. LEGAL PERSONALITY ANDMANAGEMENT OF
THEHOLDING(onthedayofthesurvey)
B/1 and B/2 Thepersonlegallyandeconomicallyresponsibleforthe
holding:theholder
I. The holder of the holding is that natural person, group of
natural persons or the legal person on whose account and
in whose name the holding is operated and who is legally
and economically responsible for the holding, i.e. who
takes the economic risks of the holding. The holder can
own the holding outright or rent it or be a hereditary
long-term leaseholder or a usufructuary or a trustee.
II. The legal and economic responsibility is defined according
to Member States' documented own rules.
The holder may have delegated all or part of power of
decision of the normal daily financial and production
routines of running of the holding to a manager.
In the case of share farming (see item C/3(a)) the share
farmer is shown as holder and not the landlord.
Only the partners on a group holding who take part in the
farm work (see L/1 to L/6) on the holding may be consid-
ered as being holders.2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 6
(1) OJ L 160, 26.6.1999, p. 80.
▼M1
B/1 (a) and (b) Natural person
I. A natural person may be either a single individual (sole
holder) or a groupof individuals (p artners on a group
holding).
II. The question whether a holder is a ‘natural’ or a ‘legal’
person is important for the classification of holdings into
the following groups:
Holdings where the holder is:
(a) a natural person and the sole holder of an independent
holding;
(b) a groupof natural p ersons being a groupof p artners on
a ‘groupholding’;
(c) a legal person.
The laws of certain Member States treat for fiscal and/or
legal reasons a ‘legal’ person (company) as if it were a
‘natural’ person or a group of ‘natural’ persons. These are
generally any forms of enterprises where one or all of the
members have full personal liability for the debts of the
enterprise. In such cases, Member States may attribute
such a ‘legal’ person to the classes ‘sole holders’ or ‘group
holdings’. These choices have to be made using docu-
mented rules that are explicit and consistent.
B/1 (a) A natural person who is a sole holder, where the holding is
independent
I. A single individual and natural person who is the holder of
a holding which is not linked to any holdings of other
holders, either by common management or similar arrange-
ments.
II. This holder can take any decisions regarding the holding
by himself.
Spouses or close family members who own or rent a
holding together should normally be considered to have
one independent holding managed by one sole holder.
Two persons living together like spouses, without being
married, are also treated as spouses, if they are legally
recognised as such in the respective Member States.
The following, inter alia , are to be regarded as sole
holders: siblings, joint beneficiaries under a will or an
intestate, etc., if they have not made an agreement and are
not fiscally and/or legally treated as a groupholder or as a
legal entity according to the laws of the Member State.
If a company (legal person) is owned by only one natural
person and is treated as a natural person by the Member
State (see definition of natural person), it is considered to
be a holding with a sole holder.
If only one person has the full legal and economic respon-
sibility for the holding, he/she is considered to be the sole
holder, even if the holding otherwise meets the criteria of a
groupholding.
B/1 (b) One or more natural persons being partner in a group
holding
I. Partner(s) of a groupholding are natural p ersons owning,
renting or otherwise managing together one agricultural
holding or managing together their individual holdings as
if they were one holding. The cooperation has to be carried
out either conformant to law or by written agreement.
II. If a company (legal person) is owned by more than one
natural person and is treated as a natural person by the
Member State, it is considered being a groupholding.
Member States who choose not to record information on
groupholdings collect all information on all holdings
where the holders are natural persons under variable B/
1(a), regardless of whether they are ‘groupholdings’ as
defined here. If on one holding two or more natural
persons carry out the functions of the holder only one of2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 7
▼M1
them is shown as such (e.g. the one who bears the greatest
share of the risk or who takes the main part in managing
the holding. If such criteria still fail to pick out one indivi-
dual the choice should be based on some other criterion,
such as age). All data required for holders is recorded for
this person. This person will also be considered to be the
manager of the holding. All other persons working on the
holding will be recorded as L/4 ‘non-family labour force’,
regardless of their family relation to the holders.
B/1 (c) Legal person
I. A legal entity other than a natural person but having the
normal rights and duties of an individual, such as the
ability to sue or becoming sued (a general legal capacity
of its own).
II. The legal persons can be public or private, inter alia :
— state, regions, municipalities, etc.,
— the churches and their institutions,
— other similar institutions of public or semi-public char-
acter,
— all commercial enterprises except those under B/1(a) or
(b), especially the companies with limited responsibil-
ities, including such cooperative enterprises,
— all stock corporations (enterprises having issued
shares),
— foundations (bodies administering provided funds for
certain purposes that are often social or philanthropic),
— non stock corporations with limited liabilities,
— all other enterprises of similar character.
B/2 Manageroftheholding
I. The natural person responsible for the normal daily finan-
cial and production routines of running the holding
concerned.
II. The manager is generally, but not always, the same person
as the holder who is a natural person.
In cases where the holder is not also the manager he/she
has charged or employed someone else with the running
of the holding. This could be for example a member of
his/her family (B/2(a)) or his/her spouse (B/2(b)), but can
also be a person with no family ties to the holder.
There can be only one manager on the holding.
All information on groupholdings required for managers is
recorded for the partner considered to be the holder.
B/2 (a) Family members
I. Generally, the family members of the holder are the
spouse, relatives in the ascending or descending line
(including those by marriage and by adoption) and brothers
and sisters of the holder or his/her spouse.
II. The holders themselves are not included in the family
members.
B/3 Manager'sagriculturaltraining
Only one level (the highest) is recorded for each person.Only practical agricultural experience
I. Experience acquired through practical work on an agricul-
tural holding.
Basic agricultural training
I. Any training courses completed at a general agricultural
college and/or an institution specialising in certain subjects
(including horticulture, viticulture, sylviculture, piscicul-
ture, veterinary science, agricultural technology and
associated subjects).
II. A completed agricultural apprenticeship is regarded as
basic training.2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 8
▼M1
Full agricultural training
I. Any training course continuing for the equivalent of at
least two years full-time training after the end of compul-
sory education (see L/1 to L/6 School leaving age) and
completed at an agricultural college, university or other
institute of higher education in agriculture, horticulture,
viticulture, sylviculture, pisciculture, veterinary science,
agricultural technology or an associated subject.
C. TYPEOFTENUREANDFARMINGSYSTEM
C/1 to C/3 Utilisedagriculturalarea
I. The total area taken upby arable land, p ermanent grass-
land, permanent crops and kitchen gardens.
C/1 Owner-farmedagricultural area
I. Agricultural land being farmed by the holding being
surveyed and which is the property of the holder or farmed
by him as usufructuary or heritable long-term leaseholder
or under some other equivalent type of tenure.
II. Land allotted to a farm worker (for his own cultivation) as
part of his wage is allocated to the holding making the
allotment, unless the farm worker uses his own means of
production.
Parcels of land retained by the former holder (see Agricul-
tural holding, point 2.2) are allocated to the holding in
conjunction with which the retained land is normally
worked and in general the same labour force and means
of production as for the rest of the holding are employed.
However, grazing rights on common grazing land are not
included, e.g. on common land belonging to the parish or
to a cooperative (such areas, not being part of a holding,
are not covered in this survey).
C/2 Tenant-farmedagriculturalarea
I. Land rented by the holding in return for a fixed rent agreed
in advance (in cash, kind or otherwise), and for which there
is a (written or oral) tenancy agreement. An area is allo-
cated to only one holding. If an area is rented out to
several holdings during the reference year, it is normally
allocated to the holding with which it is associated for the
longest time period during the reference year.
II. The rented land can consist of:
— a complete holding,
— individual parcels of land.
Land rented cannot be considered part of the property
owner's holding, but always of the lessee's holding. Any
animals on the land are considered to belong to the holding
in possession of the animals.
Parcels of land or holdings rented by the holder from
members of the holder's family are included here if these
areas are farmed as part of the holding surveyed. Also
included is land belonging to another holding but worked
by the holding under survey in return for a certain number
of hours of labour but not land put at the disposal of a farm
worker as a form of wage. As opposed to the case of land
put at the disposal of a farm worker as a form of wage,
which generally remains within the croprotation system
of the holding, a tenancy agreement of the type envisaged
here will specify not merely the area of land concerned but
also where it is and its exact boundaries.
Rented land which has been sublet to a third party is to be
included as a part of this third party's holding, since it does
not constitute part of the holding surveyed.2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 9
▼M1
C/3 Agricultural area share-farmed or farmed under other
modes
C/3 (a) Share-farmed agricultural area
I. Land (which may constitute a complete holding) farmed in
partnership by the landlord and the sharecropper under a
written or oral share-farming contract. The output (either
economic or physical) of the share cropped area is shared
between two parties on an agreed basis.
II. This includes inter alia :
Colonia parziaria of complete holdings
Incolonia parziaria of complete holdings the grantor
entrusts a farm to the head of a family, who undertakes to
carry out with the aid of the members of his family (the
farm family) all the work required on the holding and
himself to bear part of the outgoings and to divide the
farm's production with the grantor in fixed proportions.
C/3 (b) Agricultural area utilised under other modes of tenure
I. Other modes of tenure not covered elsewhere under C/1 to
C/3(a).
II. This includes inter alia :
1. land over which the holder enjoys rights:
— by virtue of his occupancy of a particular post
(forester, priest, teacher, etc.),
— allotted by the parish or other organisation, e.g.
common grazing land apportioned on an acreage
basis (as distinct from land over which common
grazing rights are enjoyed);
2. land, which the holding works free of any charge (e.g.
areas from derelict holdings being worked by the
holding surveyed);
3.Colonia parziaria of individual parcels of land.
Incolonia parziaria of individual parcels of land the
grantor entrusts solely one or more parcels of land,
which are used under the same conditions as described
under (a).
C/5 Farmingsystemandpractices
C/5 (a), (d) and (e) Organic farming
I. Information is to be collected on whether or not the
holding practises agriculture according to certain set stan-
dards and rules specified in Council Regulation (EEC) No
2092/91 (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation
(EC) No 473/2002 (2) or, where applicable, the most recent
legislation, on ‘organic production of agricultural products
and indications referring thereto on agricultural products
and foodstuffs’, and/or the equivalent national rules for
organic production.
II. The regulation sets upa harmonised framework for the
labelling, production and control of agricultural products
bearing or intended to bear indications referring to organic
production methods. According to the Regulation's rules
the production must take place such that the land parcels,
and production and storage locations are clearly separated
from those of any other unit not producing in accordance
with the rules of organic farming.
In the case where organic farming production methods are
only applied on part of the utilised agricultural area or live-
stock of the holding, only those specific areas and livestock
are to be recorded here.2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 10
(1) OJ L 198, 22.7.1991, p. 1.
(2) OJ L 75, 16.3.2001, p. 21.
▼M1
C/5 (a) The utilised agricultural area of the holding on which
organic farming production methods are applied
I. That part of the utilised agricultural area of the holding on
which the production is fully compliant with the principles
of organic production at farm level as set out in Annex I to
Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91.
II. The Regulation makes a difference between areas that are
in full compliance with the set rules and those that are still
in a conversion period. Only produce that originates from
areas that have been fully converted to the principles of
organic production can be marketed with a label that refers
to the organic production methods.
Under this item are recorded only those areas that have
gone through the whole conversion period (see C/5(d)).
C/5 (d) The utilised agricultural area of the holding that is under
conversion to organic farming production methods
I. That part of the utilised agricultural area of the holding on
which organic farming methods are applied, but where the
necessary transition period to be considered fully compliant
with the principles of organic production at farm level as
set out in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 has
not yet been completed.
II. Under this item there are recorded only those areas that
have not gone through the whole conversion period (see
C/5(a)).
C/5 (e) Holdings applying organic production methods also to the
animal production
I. Holdings where all or part of the animal production is fully
compliant with the principles of organic production at farm
level as set out in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/
91 or is in the conversion period to reach such compliance.
II. The Regulation states that normally all animal production
on a holding must be reared in accordance with rules on
organic production. Only in cases where the buildings,
parcels and species are clearly separate, can a part of the
animals be raised under different rearing.
C/5 (c) Support for agri-environmental commitments
I. Any support paid to the holding through a Member State's
scheme within the meaning of Articles 22 to 24 of Regula-
tion (EC) No 1257/1999, or, where applicable, the most
recent legislation. Also any support paid for similar
schemes based on older Community legislation is included.
Support solely for organic farming is excluded.
II. According to Regulation (EC) No 1257/99, support can be
paid for agricultural production methods that protect the
environment and maintain the countryside (agri-environ-
ment) through:
— ways of using agricultural land which are compatible
with the protection and improvement of the environ-
ment, the landscape and its features, natural resources,
the soil and genetic diversity,
— extensiveness of farming and management of low-
intensity pasture systems,
— conservation of high nature-value farmed environments,— upkeep of the landscape and historical features on agri-
cultural land,
— use of environmental planning in farming practice.
Support can be granted to farmers who give agri-environ-
mental commitments for at least five years (or for longer
periods where necessary). These commitments shall
involve more than the application of usual good farming
practice, and provide for services which are not provided
for by other support measures, such as market support or
compensatory allowances.
The support is calculated on the basis of lost income, addi-
tional costs resulting from the commitment given, and the
need to provide an incentive.2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 11
▼M1
Similar support schemes have been launched according to
earlier Community legislation. Taking account of the long
commitments entered into under these schemes, they can
be valid during many years. These supports should also be
registered under this item.
D. to H. TOTALAREA
I. The total area of the holding (D to H) consists of the agri-
cultural area utilised by the holding (D to G) and other
land (H).
II. In section I more precise information on how certain areas
already entered under sections D to H are utilised is given.
Any areas recorded under section I may therefore not be
added to other areas since they would otherwise be
recorded twice.
The agricultural area utilised for farming includes the area
under main crops for harvest in the year of the survey.
For the breakdown of total area by area farmed, each area
is listed only once.
Permanent crops and crops lasting several years (e.g. aspar-
agus, strawberries or bushes), are included from the year
they are planted even though they are not yet in produc-
tion.
Cultivated mushrooms (I/2) are excluded from the total
area.
In the case of combined crops (I/5) the utilised agricultural
area is allocated among the crops pro rata to the use of the
ground by the crops concerned.
Areas of agriculture combined with woodland are similarly
split up.
This principle does not apply to mixed crops (these are
crops grown and harvested together on the same ground,
e.g. mixed corn), or to successive crops (e.g. barley under-
sown with clover for later harvesting).
In the case of combined crops, if one crop has no signifi-
cance for the holding, it is ignored in the breakdown of the
areas.
An exemption from the principle of pro rata allocation may
be made where the results would not be satisfactory,
provided that the rules established by the Member States
in agreement with the Commission are respected.
Successive secondary crops are recorded only under
heading I/1. Under headings D to G the area of each
successive cropis not calculated, but the area is allocated
to only one croptaken as the main crop . Where during
one harvest year several crops are grown in succession on
an area, the main cropis the cropthat has the highest value
of the production. If the value of production does not deter-
mine which is the main crop, then the main crop is taken
as the one that occupies the ground for the longest time.
D. ARABLELAND
I. Land worked (ploughed or tilled) regularly, generally under
a system of croprotation.
II. A croprotation system means that the crop s on a certain
plot are following other crops according to a predefined
plan. Normally the crops are changed annually, but they
can also be multi-annual. For discriminating arable land
from permanent crops (G) or permanent grassland and
meadows (F), a threshold of five years is used. This means
that if a plot is used for the same crop for five years or
more, without in the meantime removing the preceding
cropand establishing a new one, it is not considered arable
land.
Certain crops which are usually treated as vegetables, as
ornamental plants or as industrial plants (e.g. asparagus,
roses, decorative shrubs cultivated for their blossom or2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 12

leaves, strawberries, hops) are included in this category,
even if they might occupy the ground for more than five
years.
Arable land comprises crop categories D/1 to D/20, D/23
to D/35, fallow land without any subsidies (D/21) and
fallow land subject to set-aside incentive schemes with no
economic use (D/22).
Areas of industrial crops grown on set-aside land are
included under their respective headings, but are also
recorded under item I/8(b).

they are cultivated and processed in the same manner as
cereals.
D/9 Protein crops for the production of grain (including
seedandmixturesofpulsesandcereals)
I. Crops sown and harvested mainly for their protein content.II. Protein crops harvested green are included under D/14 or

or the stem that is harvested for fodder. Others might be
for example Jerusalem artichoke ( Helianthus tuberosus
L.), sweet potatoes ( Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.), fodder
parsnips ( Pastinaca sativa L.), yam ( Discorea spp. ),
manioc (Manihot esculenta Crantz ).
D/23 to D/35 IndustrialPlants

D/14 and D/15 Freshvegetables,melons,strawberries
II. Cultivated mushrooms (I/2) are excluded.D/14 Fresh vegetables, melons, strawberries, outdoor or
underlow(non-accessible)cover
D/14 (a) Open field
I. Vegetables, melons, strawberries grown on land in rotation
with other agricultural crops.
II. Vegetables on the open field are mostly, but not always,
destined for industrial processing rather than directly to
the market.
The basic element here is the rotation system on the
holding: if the areas occupied by the vegetables are rotated
with crops other than horticultural crops (D/14 and D/16),
the area in question is ‘open field’.
D/14 (b) Market gardening
I. Vegetables, melons and strawberries grown on land in rota-
tion with other horticultural crops (D/14 and D/16).
II. Market gardening vegetables are mostly, but not always,
destined directly for the market rather than for industrial
processing.
The basic element here is the rotation system on the plot: if
the area occupied by vegetables is rotated only with other
horticultural crops (D/14 and D/16), it is ‘market
gardening’ land.
D/15, D/17 and G/7 Cropsunderglassorhigh(accessible)cover
I. Crops, which for the whole of their period of growth or for
the predominant part of it are covered by greenhouses or
fixed or mobile high cover (glass or rigid or flexible
plastic).
II. This excludes sheets of plastic laid flat on the ground, also
land under cloches or tunnels not accessible to man or
movable glass-covered frames.2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 15
▼M1
For mobile greenhouses or high cover, the area reported is
the total area actually covered during the preceding 12
months (summing them upto calculate the total area
covered), not merely the area covered by the installation
at any one time.
Areas of crops, which are grown temporarily under glass
and temporarily in the open air, are reported as entirely
under glass, unless the period under glass is of extremely
limited duration.
If the same area under glass is used more than once it is
reported once only.
Only the base area of multi-storeyed greenhouses is
counted.
D/16 Flowers and ornamental plants (excluding nurseries),
outdoororunderlow(notaccessible)protective cover
D/17 Flowers and ornamental plants (excluding nurseries),
underglassorother(accessible)protective cover
D/18 Forageplants
I. All ‘green’ arable crops intended for animal feed, grown in
rotation with other crops and occupying the same land for
less than five years (annual or multiannual feed crops).
II. These ‘green’ (as opposite to those ‘for dry grain’) crops
are normally used for allowing animals to graze or are
harvested green, but can be also harvested dried, like dry
hay. Generally the whole plant, except the roots, is
harvested and used for fodder.
Crops not used on the holdings but sold, either for direct
use on other holdings or to industry, are included.
Cereals, industrial plants and other arable land crops
harvested and/or consumed green for fodder are included.
Fodder roots and brassicas (D/12) are excluded.
D/18 (a) Temporary grass
I. Grass plants for grazing, hay or silage included as a part of
a normal croprotation, lasting at least one cropyear and
less than five years, sown with grass or grass mixtures.
The areas are broken upby p loughing or other tilling or
the plants are destroyed by other means such as by herbi-
cides before they are sown again.
II. Mixtures of predominantly grass plants and other forage
crops (usually leguminous), grazed, harvested green or as
dried hay are included here.
Annual grass crops (lasting less than one crop year) are not
included here.
D/18 (b) Other green fodder

green maize, cereals harvested and/or consumed green,
leguminous plants).
D/18 (b/i) Green maize (maize for silage)
I. Maize ( Zea mays L.) grown for silage.
II. All forms of fodder maize, which is not harvested for grain
(whole cob, parts of or whole plant). This includes green
maize directly consumed by animals (without silage) and
whole cobs (grain, rachis, husk) harvested for feedstuff or
silage.
D/18 (b iii) Other forage plants
I. Other arable crops intended for animal fodder, harvested
green, not mentioned elsewhere.
II. The various species of clover, annual or perennial: like
crimson ( Trifolium incarnatum L.), red ( T. pratense L.),

(T. resupinatum ) and different types of lucerne are included
here.2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 16
▼M1
Mixtures of predominantly leguminous (normally > 80 %)
forage crops and grass plants, harvested green or as dried
hay are included here.
Included here are: annual crops like cereals, annual
raygrasses, annual sorghum, certain annual graminaceous
plants like meadowgrass ( Poa annua L.), plants belonging
to other families such as the cruciferous and that are not
mentioned elsewhere (rape, etc.), the California bluebell
(Phacelia tanacetifolia Benth ), if they are harvested green.
Green maize is excluded.
D/19 Arablelandseedsandseedlings
I. Areas producing seeds and seedlings for sale, excluding
cereals, rice, pulses, potatoes and oil seeds. Seeds and
seedlings for the own needs of the holding (e.g. young
vegetable plants such as cabbage or lettuce seedlings) are
included under the heading of the cropconcerned.
II. Includes green forage seeds.
D/20 Otherarablecrops
I. Arable crops not included under D/1 to D/19 or under D/21
to D/35.
II. This item includes only crops of low economic importance
and should contain only plants that cannot be classified
under any other item. Mixtures of crops should as far as
possible be recorded elsewhere, either according to the
definitions of the respective variable or, if nothing is
mentioned, under the cropwith the highest economic
value.
If a cropcannot be recorded sep arately it should be
grouped with crops of the same kind rather than with other
crops of a different category. As an example small areas
with oil-flax should not be included here, but rather under
‘other oil plants’.
D/21 and D/22 Fallowland
II. Fallow land is not to be confused with successive crops (I/
1) and unutilised agricultural area (H/1). The essential
characteristic of fallow land is that it is left to recover,
normally for the whole of a cropyear.
Fallow land may be:1. bare land bearing no crops at all;
2. land with spontaneous natural growth, which may be
used as feed or ploughed in;
3. land sown exclusively for the production of green
manure (green fallow).
D/21 Fallowlandwithoutanysubsidies
I. All land included in the croprotation system, whether
worked or not, but not producing a harvest for the durationof a cropyear, for which no financial aid or subsidy is
paid.
D/22 Fallow land subject to set-aside incentive schemes with
noeconomicuse
I. Areas for which the holding is entitled to financial aid in
order to encourage the set-aside of arable land according
to Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999(
1) or, where
applicable, the most recent legislation. If there are similar
national schemes, these areas are also included under this
characteristic. Areas under schemes in which the area is
taken out of production for more than five years should be
recorded under H/1 and H/3.
II. Arable areas under schemes in which non-food production
is allowed and actually grown under contracts are recorded
elsewhere under D/1 to D/20 or D/23 to D/35.2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 17

▼M1
E. KITCHENGARDENS
I. Areas devoted to the cultivation of agricultural products
intended for consumption by the holder and his household.
II. The kitchen gardens are normally separated off from the
rest of the agricultural land, and recognisable as kitchen
gardens. Only occasional surplus products coming from
this area are sold off from the holding. All areas from
which products are consistently sold on the market belong
under other items, even if part of the products are
consumed by the holder and his household.
Areas producing forage for any animals, even though the
animals are consumed by the holder and his family, belong
under the respective items.
A kitchen garden can consist of both arable land and
permanent crops.
Not included are:
— pleasure gardens (parks and lawns) (H/3),
— areas cultivated by collective households, for example
research institutions, religious communities, boarding
schools, prisons, etc. These areas count as an agricul-
tural holding if such a holding, while linked to a
collective household, is operated in such a way as to
fulfil the other criteria of an agricultural holding. These
areas are, in the same way as the areas of an agricul-
tural holding, classified according to their use.
F. PERMANENTGRASSLANDANDMEADOW
I. Land used permanently (for five years or more) to grow
herbaceous forage crops, through cultivation (sown) or
naturally (self-seeded) and that is not included in the crop
rotation on the holding.
II. The land can be used for grazing or mowed for silage or
hay.
F/1 Pastureandmeadow,excludingroughgrazing
I. Permanent pasture on good or medium quality soils. These
areas can normally be used for intensive grazing.
II. The following are excluded:
— rough grazing, whether used intermittently or perma-
nently (F/2),

F/2 Roughgrazing
I. Low yielding permanent pasture, usually on low quality
soil, for example on hilly land and in high altitudes,
usually unimproved by fertiliser, cultivation, reseeding or
drainage.
These areas can normally be used only for extensive
grazing and cannot support a large density of animals and
are normally not mowed.
II. This can include stony ground, heath, moorland and ‘deer
forests’ in Scotland.
Rough grazing not in use is excluded (H/1).
G. PERMANENTCROPS
I. Crops not grown in rotation, other than permanent grass-
land, which occupy the soil for a long period and yield
crops over several years.
II. This category includes nurseries (except non-commercial
nurseries of forest trees grown in woods, which areincluded under woodland), and plants used for plaiting or
weaving (osier, reeds, rushes, etc., G/6).
Crops which are treated as vegetables or as ornamental
plants or industrial plants (e.g. asparagus, roses, decorative
shrubs cultivated for their blossom or leaves, strawberries,2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 18

They are recorded under the corresponding categories of
arable land.
G/1 to G/6 Permanentcropsoutdoor
G/1 Fruitandberryplantations

H. OTHERLAND
‘Other land’ includes unutilised agricultural land (agricul-
tural land which is no longer farmed, for economic, social
or other reasons, and which is not used in the croprotation
system) and land occupied by buildings, farmyards, tracks,
ponds, quarries, infertile land, rock, etc.
H/1 Unutilised agricultural land (agricultural land which is
nolongerfarmed,foreconomic,socialorotherreasons,
andwhichisnotusedinthecroprotationsystem)
I. Area previously used as an agricultural area and during the
reference year of the survey no longer worked for
economic social or other reasons and which is not used in
the croprotation system, which means that no agricultural
use is intended.
II. This land could be brought back into cultivation using the
resources normally available on an agricultural holding.
The following are excluded:
— pleasure gardens (parks and lawns) (H/3),2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 20
▼M1
— fallow land (D/21 and D/22).
H/2 Woodedarea
I. Areas covered with trees or forest shrubs, including poplar
plantations inside or outside woods and forest-tree
nurseries grown in woodland for the holding's own require-
ments, as well as forest facilities (forest roads, storage
depots for timber, etc.).
II. Where agricultural crops are combined with woodland the
area is split pro rata to the use of the ground.
Windbreaks, shelter-belts, hedgerows, etc. should be
included in so far as it is appropriate to regard them as
woodland.
Christmas trees and trees and bushes grown mainly for use
for energy production are included here, regardless of
where they are grown.
The following are excluded:
— walnut and chestnut trees grown mainly for their fruit
(G/1), other plantations of non-forest trees (G) and
osieries (G/6),
— areas of isolated trees, small groups or lines of trees (H/
3),

outside woodland (G/5).
H/3 Other land (land occupied by buildings, pleasure
gardens, farmyards, tracks, ponds, quarries, infertile
land,rock,etc.)
I. All those parts of the total area belonging to the agricul-
tural holding which constitute neither utilised agricultural
area, non-utilised area nor woodland.
II. This heading covers in particular:
1. areas not used directly for cropp roduction, but neces-
sary for working the farm, such as ground occupied by
buildings or roadways;
2. areas unsuitable for agricultural production, i.e. that can
be cultivated only by extreme means not normally avail-
able on an agricultural holding, for example marshland,
heaths, etc.
3. pleasure gardens (parks and lawns).

NUTRIENTSMANAGEMENT
I/1 Successive secondary crops (excluding market-garden
cropsandcropsunderglass)
I. Crops following (or possibly preceding) the main crop and
harvested during the 12 months of reference. The area is
given for each of the crops if there are more than one
successive (or preceding) crop.
II. The area under the successive cropis not double-counted,
i.e. the area is included under sections D to G just for the
main crop, and the area of the successive crop is not
included under any other item but I/1.
Market-garden crops (D/14(b)), crops under glass (D/15, D/
17) and kitchen gardens (E), are excluded.
I/2 Mushrooms
I. Cultivated mushrooms grown in buildings, which have
been specially erected or adapted for growing mushrooms,
as well as in underground premises, caves and cellars.2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 21
▼M1
II. The survey must record the effective growing surface area
(beds, bags, or similar surfaces) which are or will be used
at least once during the 12-month reference period.
If used more than once the area is still counted once only.
I/3 (a) Total irrigable area
I. The maximum area which could be irrigated in the refer-
ence year using the equipment and the quantity of water
normally available on the holding.
II. The total irrigable area may differ from the sum of the
areas provided with irrigation equipment since the equip-
ment may be mobile and therefore utilisable on severalfields in the course of a harvest year; capacity may also
be restricted by the quantity of water available or by the
period within which mobility is possible.
I/3 (b) Area of irrigated crops
I. Area of crops which have actually been irrigated at least
once during the 12 months prior to the survey date.
II. Crops under glass and kitchen gardens, which are almost
always irrigated, should not be included.
If more than one cropis grown in a field during the harvest
year, the area should only be indicated once: for the main
crop, if irrigation was used for it, or otherwise for the most
important irrigated secondary or successive crop.
I/5 Combinedcrops
I. Simultaneous cultivation of temporary crops (arable crops
or pasture and meadow) and permanent crops and/or
forestry plants in one and the same field, and in the
broader sense also the simultaneous cultivation of different
types of permanent or temporary crops in one and the same
field.
II. This characteristic covers the total area actually used for
the combined crops. The subdivision of the total area into
the different crops is dealt with under D to H ‘Total area’.
I/7 Natural fertilisers of animal origin (solid dung, liquid
manureandslurry)
I. Solid dung: excrements (with or without litter) of domestic
animals including possibly a small amount of urine.
Liquid manure: urine from domestic animals including
possibly a small amount of excrement and/or water.
Slurry: manure in liquid form, that is to say a mixture of
excrements and urine of domestic animals, including
possibly also water and/or a small amount of litter.
I/7 (a) Storage facilities
I. In the case of solid dung, storage facilities refers to storage
on an impermeable surface with run-off containment, with
or without a roof.
In the case of liquid manure or slurry, storage facilities
refers to a watertight tank, open or covered, or to a lined
lagoon.

manure produced on the holding, without any risk of run-
off, and without any occasional emptying.
I/8 Area subject to set-aside incentive schemes broken
downby:
(a) fallow land with no economic use (already recorded
under D/22);
(b) areas used for the production of agricultural raw mate-
rial for non-food purposes (e.g. sugar beet, rape, trees,2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 22
▼M1
bushes etc., including lentils, chick peas and vetches;
already recorded under D and G);
(c) areas converted into permanent pasture and meadow
(already recorded under F/1 and F/2);
(d) former agricultural areas converted into wooded area
or being prepared for afforestation (already recorded
under H/2);
(e) other areas (already recorded under H/1 and H/3).
I. Areas for which the holding is entitled to financial aid in
order to encourage the set-aside of arable land according
to Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 or, where applicable,
other Community or national legislation.
II. Only those areas are included for which the holding is
entitled to financial aid relating to the reference year of
the survey.
Areas entitled to financial aid related to similar schemes
based on older legislation are also included here.
I/9 (a) Cover crops in winter
I. Plants sown expressly in view of their potential contribu-
tion to reducing the loss of nutrients due to leakage to the
air, surface water or groundwater during the winter or other
periods when the land would be bare or otherwise suscep-
tible to losses. The economic interest of these crops is low,
and the main goal is soil protection.
II. Agricultural land with no plant cover or where there are
just plant residues on the top is especially vulnerable to
nutrient leakage. This has been taken into consideration
by both farmers and legislation/administration. In efforts
to reduce the losses, which are harmful both to the environ-
ment and to the economy, one of the most efficient tools is
keeping the land covered with plants at all times. In some
Member States requirements to either have normal winter
crops like winter wheat or cover crops as defined here on
a certain percentage of the arable land are included in
legislation or are part of the agri-environmental schemes
farmers can adhere to.
These crops should not be mistaken for normal winter
green crops, such as winter wheat which is to be harvested
or grassland, but are crops sown in the autumn with the
sole aim to reduce nutrient leakage. Normally they are
ploughed in during spring before sowing another crop, and
are not harvested or used for grazing.

L. FARMLABOURFORCE
The statistical information on farm labour force is collected
in a way that makes it possible to compose tables where
the data (e.g. on age and working time) from the different
farm labour force categories and classes are crossed with
each other and/or with any other survey characteristics.
This means that each person doing farm work on the hold-
ings is to be classified according to all classes required for
the category.
Data is collected only once for each person, i.e. if a person
has multiple roles on the holding, for example a holder's
spouse who at the same time is a manager, the data on
this person is not to be double-counted. The data is to be
collected in the same order as the categories, i.e. first the
role as holder, then as manager, then as spouse, then as
other family member.
Groupholdings (see B1(b)) are considered not to have
family labour force. As a consequence, for groupholdings
data on items ‘spouse’ (normally L/2) and ‘other members
of the family’ (normally L/3(a) and L/3(b)) are attributed
to item L/4.
In the case of holdings where the holder is a legal person
the sections ‘holder’ (L/1), ‘spouse’ (L/2) and ‘other
members of the family’ (L/3(a) and L/3(b)) are not
completed. The manager is recorded under L/1(a) and
considered to be non-family labour. If the spouse of the
manager or his/her other family members are working
regularly on the holding, they are recorded under L/4 and,
if they are working non-regularly, under L/5 and 6.
L/1 to L/6 Farmlabourforceoftheholding
I. All persons having completed their compulsory education
(having reached school-leaving age) who carried out farm
work on the holding under survey during the 12 months
upto the survey day.
The following are recorded in the survey, but are not
counted in the ‘Total farm labour force’:
— sole holders who do not carry out farm work on the
holding,2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 27
▼M1
— sole holders' spouses who do not carry out farm work
on the holding.
Partners of groupholdings who do not take p art in the farm
work of the holding are excluded from the survey.
The observation period may be less than 12 months if the
information provided is on a 12-month basis.
All persons of retiring age who continue to work on the
holding are included in the farm labour force.
Age at which compulsory education ends in the Member
States:
Belgium 18 years
Denmark 16 years
Germany 15 or 16 years
Greece 15 yearsSpain 16 years
France 16 years
Ireland 15 yearsItaly 16 years
Luxembourg 15 years
Netherlands 16 yearsAustria 15 yearsPortugal 15 years
Finland 16 years
Sweden 16 yearsUnited Kingdom 16 years
Czech Republic 15 years
Estonia 17 years
Cyprus 15 years
Latvia 18 yearsLithuania 16 years
Hungary 16 years
Malta 16 yearsPoland 18 years
Slovenia 15 years
Slovakia 16 years
Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands have a system of
full-time compulsory education up to a certain age and
part-time compulsory education (usually as apprentice-
ships) for another two or three years. Germany has
different rules in different Länder.
Note:these ages must not be interpreted in a very strict
way, as several Member States do not actually prescribe
an end age, but a number of years of schooling the person
must have followed. As a result, somebody who started at
an unconventional age will also have the possibility of
finishing at an unconventional age.
Labour working on the holding but employed by a third
party or under mutual-aid arrangements (e.g. labour of
agricultural contractors or cooperatives) are not included.
L/1 to L/6 Farmwork
I. Every type of work on the surveyed holding which contri-
butes to the production of the products listed in Annex II
and to the maintenance of the capacity of these products
or to activities directly derived from these productive
actions.
II. ‘Work which contributes to production’ includes, inter alia,
the following tasks:
— organisation and management (buying and selling,
accounting, etc.),
— field labour (ploughing, haymaking, harvesting, etc.),— raising of animals (preparation and distribution of feed,
milking, care of animals, etc.),2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 28
▼A1
▼M1
▼M1
— all work carried out on the holding in respect of
storage, processing and market-preparation of primary
agricultural products (ensiling, packing, etc.),
— maintenance work (on buildings, machinery, installa-
tions, etc.),
— holding own-account transports, in as far as this is
carried out by the holding's own labour force,
— all non-separable non-agricultural secondary activities.
These are activities closely linked to agricultural
production, which cannot be separated from the main
agricultural activity (e.g. butter-making).
Excluded from ‘farm work on the holding’ are:
— work for the private household of the holder/partners or
the manager(s) and their families,
— any forestry, hunting, fishery or fish farming operation
(whether or not carried out on the holding). A limited
amount of such work carried out by an agricultural
worker is, however, not excluded if it is impossible to
measure it separately,
— separable non-agricultural secondary activities (perhaps
the processing of agricultural products on the holding),
— any non-agricultural activity carried out,
— any other gainful activities (see L/7 to L/9 ‘Other
gainful activity’ and section M/1) carried out by the
holder and/or the labour force.
L/1 to L/6 Thetimeworkedontheholding
I. The working time actually devoted to farm work for the
holding, excluding work in the households of the holder
or manager.
II. ‘Full-time’ means the minimum hours required by the
national provisions governing contracts of employment. If
these do not indicate the number of annual hours then
1 800 hours is to be taken as the minimum figure (225
working days of eight hours per day).
L/1 and L/1(a) Holder and holding manager: these are defined under B/1
and B/2
II. All requested information is collected for the natural
person acting as holder (L/1) or holding manager (L/1(a)).
If the holding is a groupholding, the data is recorded for
the person considered holder (see B/1(b)). Only data on
natural persons is collected. This means that if the holder
is a legal person, data is collected only for the manager.
L/2 Holder'sspouse
II. Data is collected for spouses of sole holders, including
those not working on the holding. Where the spouse is a
partner on a group holding he/she is entered under L/4. If
the spouse is the holding manager he or she is entered
under L/1(a).
L/3 Othermembersoftheholder'sfamily
I. Members of the sole holder's family, other than the spouse,
who carry out farm work on the holding, but who do not
necessarily live on the holding.
II. ‘Members of the holder's family’ generally means the
spouse, relatives in the ascending or descending line
(including those by marriage and by adoption) and brothers
and sisters of the holder or his/her spouse (See B/2(a)). It is
irrelevant whether or not such persons receive a wage or
whether they work regularly or not.
Where a member of the holder's family is the holding
manager he or she should be entered under L/1(a) but
under L/4 if he/she is a partner on a group holding.
L/4 to L/6 Non-familylabourforce
I. All persons doing farm work for and paid by the agricul-
tural holding other than the holder and members of his
family.2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 29
▼M1
II. Other partners on group holdings than the one considered
holder (see B/1(b)), all spouses and other family members
of partners on group holdings, carrying out farm work on
the holding, are included here. They are treated as non-
family labour, but it is irrelevant whether or not such
persons receive a wage.
L/4 Non-familylabourforceregularly employed
I. Regularly employed labour force: Persons who carried out
farm work every week on the holding under survey during
the 12 months preceding the survey, irrespective of length
of the working week.
Persons who worked regularly for part of that period, but
were unable for any of the following reasons to work for
the entire period are also included:
1. special conditions of production on the holding;
2. absence by reason of holidays, military service, sick-
ness, accident or death;
3. commencement or cessation of employment with the
holding;
4. complete stoppage of work on the holding due to acci-
dental causes (flooding, fire, etc.).
II. Holdings with special conditions of production (point 1)
include, for example, holdings specialising in growing
olives or grapes or fruit and vegetables in the open or in
fattening cattle on grass and only requiring labour for a
limited number of months.
Point 3 also covers workers who stopworking for one farm
to start working for another during the 12 months before
the day of survey.
Short-term seasonal workers, e.g. labour engaged solely as
fruit and vegetable pickers, are not included here but under
L/5 and L/6 where the number of days worked is entered.
L/5 and L/6 Non-familylabourforcenotregularly employed
I. ‘Not regularly employed’: workers who did not work each
week on the agricultural holding in the 12 months
preceding the survey day for a reason other than those
listed under L/4.
L/5 and L/6 Number of working days carried out by non-regular
non-familylabourforce
I. Any day of such length that the worker is paid the salary
for a full days' work, during which there is performed
work of the kind normally carried out by a full-time agri-
cultural worker. Days of leave and sickness do not count as
working days.
II. A full working day is the normal working day of regular
workers employed on a full-time basis. The working time
of the non-regular labour force is converted into full
working days, even if the hiring contract states that the
working days are longer or shorter than for regular
workers.
L/7 to L/9 Othergainfulactivity
I. Every activity other than activity relating to farm work as
defined under L, carried out for remuneration (salary,
wages, profits or other payment, including payment in
kind, according to the service rendered).
II. This includes non-agricultural gainful activities carried out
on the holding itself (camping sites, accommodation for
tourists, etc.) or on another agricultural holding as well as
activity in a non-agricultural enterprise. Farm work carried
out on another agricultural holding is included.
Non-separable non-agricultural secondary gainful activities
on the holding are excluded.
L/7: data are collected for those holders that are also
managers.2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 30
▼M1
L/8: data are collected only for holdings where the holder
is a sole holder for all spouses (also for those who are not
taking part in the farm work on the holding).
L/9: data are collected only for holdings where the holder
is a sole holder.
Where the holder is a legal person, information is not
collected for managers.
Major occupation
I. Activity declared by the respondent as being his main
activity.
II. Normally an activity which occupies more time than that
relating to the farm work done for the agricultural holding
under survey. If the respondent is not actually working on
the holding, any gainful activity as described above would
be considered a major occupation.
Subsidiary occupation
I. Any other activity of a respondent who declares the agri-
cultural activity of the holding under survey to be his
main activity.
II. Normally an activity which occupies less time than that
relating to the farm work done for the agricultural holding
under survey.
L/10 Equivalent full-time working days of farm work not
included under L/1 to L/6, undertaken on the holding
by persons not employed directly by the holding (e.g.
contractors'employees)
I. All types of farm work (see notes under L/1 to L/6 ‘Farm
work’) undertaken on the holding for the holding by
persons who are not directly employed by the holding, but
are self-employed or employed by third parties, e.g.
contractors or cooperatives. The number of hours worked
must be converted into the equivalent number of days or
weeks on a full-time basis.
II. Working days of persons working on the holding on behalf
of another person or company are included. Work done by
agricultural accounting firms and unpaid mutual aid are
excluded.
M. RURALDEVELOPMENT
Information is collected on whether the holder and/or the
spouse or other family members or one or more partners
on a groupholding carry out any gainful activities that do
not comprise any farm work as defined under L/1 to L/6
but which are directly related to the holding and have an
economic impact on the holding.
Several such activities can be carried out on the same
holding. These should all be recorded.
Non-separable gainful activities on the holding are
excluded.
Forestry activities are also excluded.
M/1 Directly relatedtotheholding
I. Activities where either the resources of the holding (area,
buildings, machinery, etc.) or the products of the holdings
are used in the activity.
II. If only the non-family labour force and no other resources
of the holding are used, the workers are seen as working
for two different set-ups, and these activities are thus not
seen as being directly related to the holding.
Activities where no direct relations exist, for example a
shopwhere no own p roducts are sold, are not to be
covered.2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 31
▼M1
M/1 (a) Tourism, accommodation and other leisure activities
I. All activities in tourism, accommodation services, showing
the holding to tourists or other groups, sport and recreation
activities etc where either the area, the buildings or other
resources of the holding are used.
M/1 (b) Handicraft
I. Handicraft either manufactured on the holding by the
holder or the family members, or by non-family labour
force, provided that they are also carrying out farm work,
regardless of how the products are sold.
M/1 (c) Processing of farm products
I. 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.
II. This includes, inter alia , processing meat, making cheese,
wine production, etc.
All processing of farm products belongs to this item,
regardless of whether it is seen as being part of agriculture
(for example winemaking is in some regions seen as a part
of the wine growing process, where in other areas it is seen
as being a different process).
Sale of the farm products directly to consumers is included
here, except if no processing at all of the product is taking
place on the holding (for example milk sold directly to
neighbours is not included, since no processing is
required). Production of farm products for self-consump-
tion only or the sale of a possible surplus of such products
is not included.
M/1 (d) Wood processing (e.g. sawing, etc.)
I. The processing of raw wood on the holding for the market,
(sawing timber, etc).
II. Further processing, such as producing furniture from the
timber, belongs normally under M/1(b).

during a normal or dry year. If the year preceding the
survey has had abnormally rainy weather conditions, the
data should concern another year.
N/1 (a) Groundwater
I. Water sources, situated on or near the holding, utilising
water pumped from bored or dug wells or from free-
flowing natural groundwater springs or alike.
II. These sources need not be for irrigation purposes only, but

N/1 (d) Off-farm water from common water supply networks
I. Sources of water coming from outside the holding, other
than the ones mentioned in N/1(c), accessible to at least
two holdings. A fee is normally charged for access to these
sources.
II. The water supply can be public or private. The source of
the water is of no regard. Water transported to the holding
in tanks is normally recorded here, except if the source is
clearly surface water as described under N/1(c).
N/1 (e/i) Desalinated or brackish waterI. Water originating from strongly saline sources like the
Atlantic or Mediterranean, in which case it is treated for
reducing the salt concentration (desalinated) before use or
from brackish (low saline content) water sources like the
Baltic Sea and certain rivers, in which case it is possible
to use it directly, untreated.
N/1 (e/ii) Reused waterI. Water that has undergone waste water treatment and is
delivered to a user as reclaimed waste water.
N/2 Irrigationmethodsemployed
II. Irrigation methods employed for crops under glass or high
cover or kitchen gardens are not included here.
N/2 (a) Surface irrigation (flooding, furrows)
I. The leading of the water along the ground, either by
flooding the whole area or leading the water along small
furrows between the croprows, using gravity as a force.
N/2 (b) Sprinkler irrigation
I. Irrigating the plants by propelling the water under high
pressure as rain over the parcels.
N/2 (c) Drop irrigation
I. Irrigating the plants by placing the water low by the plants
dropby dropor with micro-sp rinklers or by forming fog-
like conditions.2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 33

N/3 Non-cultivated field borders or parts of fields, main-
tained by the farmer for environmental purposes and
receiving Communitysupportforthis
I. Area of non-cultivated field borders or other parts of fields
that are managed by the farmer for purposes of environ-
mental protection in the framework of specific agri-
environmental commitments approved in the national or
regional rural development programming document and
for which the holder is benefiting from payments granted
pursuant to provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999.
The width of such areas goes beyond the requirements of
usual good farming practices or obligations set out by any
relevant legislation on the matter. These areas could be
included in H/1 or I/8, depending on the rules set up for
the engagements.
II. The support schemes mentioned here normally aim to
enhance the biodiversity on the holding or to protect
ground or surface waters. In particular, areas that are taken
out of agricultural production for a long time (at least 10
years) and areas with actions on biotopes are included here.
The rules for the use and management of such areas differ
depending on the national or regional schemes, but may
make it possible to use them for very extensive grazing or
to remove the grass grown. The use of any pesticides or
fertilisers is normally not approved.
Normal turning zones for the machinery needed for sowing
and other cultivation routines and the rather narrow field
borders that are seen as being a part of usual good farming
practices and thus are required for receiving support
according to Regulation (EC) No 1251/99 are treated as
being part of the crop grown on the field, and are therefore
not included here.2000D0115 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 34
