COMMISSIONDECISION
of7June1985
establishingaCommunitytypologyforagricultural holdings
(85/377/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community,
Having regard to Council Decision No 79/65/EEC of 15 June 1965
setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the
incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in theEuropean Economic Community (
1), as last amended by Regulation
(EEC) No 2143/81 (2).
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1463/84 of 24 May
1984 onthe organ izationof the surveys onthe structure of agriculturalholdings for 1985 and 1987 (
3), and in particular Article 6 (2) thereof,
Whereas CommissionDecision78/463/EEC of 7 April 1978 estab-
lishing a Community typology for agricultural holdings (4), as last
amended by Decision 84/542/EEC (5), defines in Article 1 the two
factors on which the Community typology is based, namely, the typeof farming and the economic size of the holding; whereas these twofactors are determined on the basis of the standard gross margin
(SGM);
Whereas the standard gross margin as defined in Article 1 (d) of the
aforementioned Decision is an economic criterion, expressed in mone-tary terms; whereas such a criterion is bound to undergo changes in thecourse of time;
Whereas the standard gross margins set out in Annex I to the afore-
mentioned Decision are based on average values over a reference
period; whereas, therefore, they should regularly be updated to takeaccount of economic trends so that the typology may continue mean-ingfully to be applied for the purposes specified in Article 3 of thatDecision; whereas for this purpose a frequency as far as possible linkedto the years inwhich farm structure surveys are carried out should be
provided for;
Whereas such updating should be carried out on the basis of the
average gross margins observed over a reference period of severalyears;
Whereas the list of characteristics for which gross standard margins are
established should be brought into line with the headings used in the
farm structure, surveys:
Whereas there is a need for the classification scheme adopted by Deci-
sion 78/463/EEC to be amended in order better to take account ofregional circumstances, especially in the Member States which havejoined the EEC since that Decision entered into force, and of thechanges made to the list of headings used in the structure surveys;
Whereas, however, the scheme must as far as possible be kept as it is,
in order to ensure sufficient continuity in time and hence permit trend
analyses;
Whereas the European Size Unit constitutes a basic unit expressed in
terms of monetary value for a given reference period; whereas thisvalue undergoes changes in the course of time under the influence ofchanges in the various factors determining agro-economic trends;1985D0377 — EN — 23.05.2003 — 004.001 — 2

whereas, for the European Size Unit to remain totally meaningful in the
context of the Community typology, its definitions should be regularlyupdated at the same time as the SGMs are adjusted;
Whereas the measures provided for inthis Decisionare inaccordan ce
with the opinion of the Community Committee for the Farm Accoun-tancy Data Network of the EEC and the opinion of the StandingCommittee for Agricultural Statistics;
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
CHAPTER I
Communitytypologyforagricultural holdings
Article 1
For the purpose of this Decision, ‘Community typology for agricultural
holdings’ (hereinafter called ‘typology’) shall mean a uniform classifi-cation of holdings in the Community based on their type of farmingand economic size, so arranged that homogeneous groups of holdingscanbe assembled ina greater or lesser degree of aggregation .
The type of farming and the economic size of the holding shall be
determined on the basis of the standard gross margin.
Article 2
1. The typology shall be designed to meet in particular the informa-
tionn eeds of the commonagricultural policy.
2. The purpose of the typology shall be to supply an instrument
making possible, at Community level:
— an analysis of the situation of holdings based on economic criteria;
— comparisons of the situation of holdings
— betweenthe various classes inthe typology;
— betweenMember States or region s of the Member States;— betweendifferen t periods.
3. The applications of the typology shall principally comprise the
presentation, by type of farming and by size class, of data collectedthrough the Community farm structure surveys and the CommunityFarm Accountancy Data Network.
CHAPTER II
Standardgrossmargin
Article 3
For the purpose of this Decision, ‘standard gross margin’ (SGM) shall
mean the balance between the standard value of production and thestandard value of certain specific costs as laid down in Annex I; thisbalance shall be determined for the various crop and livestock charac-teristics withineach region .
Article 4
The total standard gross margin of the holding shall correspond to the
sum of the values obtained for each characteristic by multiplying the
SGM per unit by the number of corresponding units.
Article 5
The standard gross margins shall be determined using average basic
data calculated over a reference period of several years. They shall beupdated to take account of economic trends.
Annex I lays down the procedures for collecting the data, the method
of calculation and the frequency for determining the SGM.1985D0377 — EN — 23.05.2003 — 004.001 — 3
▼B
CHAPTER III
Typeoffarming
Article 6
For the purposes of this Decision the ‘type of farming’ of a holding
shall be determined by the relative contribution of different enterprisesto its total standard gross margin.
Article 7
Depending on the amount of detail required, the types of farming shall
be divided into:
— general types of farming,
— principal types of farming,
— particular types of farming,
— subdivisions of certain particular types of farming.
These subdivisions shall be optional for those Member States in which
the number of holdings in this type of farming is small.
The classification of holdings by type of farming shall be as set out in
Annex II.
CHAPTER IV
Economicsizeoftheholding
Article 8
The economic size of the holding shall be determined on the basis of
the total standard gross margin of the holding. It shall be expressed interms of European Size Units (ESU). This unit shall be defined inaccordance with Annex III A. The method of calculating the economicsize of the holding shall be as laid down in Annex III B.
Article 9
The economic size classes of holdings shall be as laid down in Annex
III C.
CHAPTER V
General provisions
Article 10
Decision 78/463/EEC shall remain in force for applications relating to
the period prior to 1985. Subsequent applications shall be based on the
present Decision.
The first such application shall utilize SGMs corresponding to the
reference period ‘1982’ (calendar years 1981, 1982 and 1983 or forthe agricultural productionyears 1981/82, 1982/83 an d 1983/84) estab-lished as laid downinChapter II.
Article 11
The Commission, assisted by the Member States, shall review at least
every ten years the experience gained in applying this Decision and
any new Community needs arising in the field. After such review, the
provisions of this Decision may be amended as required.
Article 12
This Decisionis addressed to the Member States.1985D0377 — EN — 23.05.2003 — 004.001 — 4

ANNEX I
STANDARDGROSSMARGINS(SGMs)
1. DEFINITION OF AND PRINCIPLES FOR CALCULATING SGMs
(a) Thegrossmargin of an agricultural enterprise means the monetary value
of gross production from which corresponding specific costs are
deducted.
Thestandard gross margin (SGM) means the value of gross margin
corresponding to the average situation in a given region for each agricul-
tural characteristic.
(b)Grossproduction is the sum of the value of the principal product(s) and
of the secondary product(s).
The values are calculated by multiplying production per unit (less any
losses) by the farm-gate price, VAT not included.
Gross production also includes subsidies linked to products, to area and/
or to livestock.
(c)Inorder to calculate SGMs the following specific costs are deducted
fromthegrossproduction:
(1)Inthe case of crop production
— seeds and seedlings (purchased or produced on the farm),
— fertilizers purchased,— crop protectionproducts,— various specific costs including:
— water for irrigationpurposes,
— heating,— drying,— specific marketing costs (e.g. grading, cleaning, packaging),
and processing costs,
— specific insurance costs,— other specific costs.
(2)Inthe case of livestock production
— livestock replacement costs;
— feedingstuffs:
— concentrated feedingstuffs (purchased or produced on the
farm),
— coarse fodder;
— various specific costs including:
— veterinary fees,
— costs of natural service and artificial insemination,
— costs relating to performance testing and the like,
— specific marketing cost (e.g. grading, cleaning, packaging)
and processing costs,
— specific insurance costs,— other specific costs.
The following are not included in the specific costs to be deducted: costs
of labour, machinery, buildings, fuel and lubricants, maintenance and
depreciation for machinery and equipment, contract work. However,
costs of contract work related to renewal and removal of permanent
crops and to crop drying are deducted.
The specific costs are determined on the basis of the delivered-to-farm
prices, VAT not included, minus any subsidies linked to the components
of these costs.
(d)Productionperiod
The SGMs correspond to a production period of 12 months (calender
year or agricultural productionyear).1985D0377 — EN — 23.05.2003 — 004.001 — 5
▼B
For crop products and livestock products for which the period of produc-
tion is less than or exceeds 12 months, an SGM corresponding to growth
or productionin12 mon ths is calculated.
(e)Basicdataandreference period
The SGMs are determined using the factors mentioned in points (b) and
(c) above. To this end, the basic data are collected in the Member States
from farm accounts or specific surveys, or compiled from appropriate
calculations for a reference period which covers three successive
calendar years or agricultural production years. The reference period is
the same for all Member States and is fixed by the Commission, in
consultation with them.
(f)Units
(1)Physical units:
a) The SGMs for crops are determined on the basis of area
expressed inhectares.
for mushrooms, however, the SGMs are determined on the basis
of gross production and specific costs for all the annual succes-
sive harvests and are expressed per 100 m2of area under crops.
For their use in the context of the Farm Accountancy Data
Network the SGMs, determined in this way, are divided by the
number of annual successive harvests, such number being
communicated by the Member States.
b) The SGMs relating to livestock are determined by head, except
for poultry, for which they are determined in terms of 100 head,
and for bees, for which they are determined by hive.
(2)Monetary units and rounding
The basic data for determining the SGMs and the calculated SGMs
are established in euro. For the Member States not taking part in
the Economic and Monetary Union, the SGMs are converted into
euro using the average exchange rates for the reference period as
defined in point 1(e) of this Annex. These rates are communicated
by the Commissionto these Member States.
The SGMs may be rounded to the nearest EUR 5 where appropriate.
2. BREAKDOWN OF SGMs
(a)Bycropandlivestockcharacteristics
(1) The SGMs are determined for all the agricultural enterprises corre-
sponding to the headings of the Community farm structure surveys
in the manner laid down in those surveys.
(2) Inthe case of Member States which supply details addition al to the
survely headings, the SGMs corresponding to those details are also
established along the same lines.
(b)Geographicalbreakdown
— the SGMs are determined at least on the basis of geographical units
which are compatible with those used for the Community farm struc-
ture surveys and for the Farm Accountancy Data Network.
— No SGM is determined for enterprises which are not engaged in in
the region concerned.
— Inthe case of geographical un its for which the Member States
forward information indicating whether a holding is situated in a
less-favoured or mountain area, separate SGMs are supplied for the
less-favoured or mountain areas and for the other areas of the geogra-
phical unit whenever it is appropriate and important that such a
distinction should be made.1985D0377 — EN — 23.05.2003 — 004.001 — 6

▼B
3. COLLECTION OF DATA AND FREQUENCY FOR DETERMINING
SGMs
(a) At least every 10 years the basic data for determining SGMs are renewed
on the basis of observations drawn from farm accounts or specific
surveys, or compiled from appropriate calculations.
(b) Withinthe 10-year period betweentwo successive ren ewals, as provided
for under (a), the SGMs are normally updated every two years. Such
updating is effected:
— either by renewing the basic data in a manner similar to that specified
under (a),
— or by using a method of calculation by which the SGM may be
updated. The principles applying to such a method are laid down at
Community level.
(c) the reference periods for data renewal and for updating calculations, as
provided under (a), and (b) above, are the same for all Member States
and are fixed by the Commission in consultation with them.
These reference periods will as far as possible be linked with the dates of
Community surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings.
4. EXECUTION
The Member States are responsible, in accordance with the provisions of this
Annex, for collecting the basic data needed for calculating the SGMs and for
calculating them, for converting them into ECU and for collecting the data
required for applying the updating method, if appropriate.
They will forward available data and results to the Commission in a standard
format. This format will be established by the Commissionincon sultation
with the Member States.
5. TREATMENT OF SPECIAL CASES
The following special rules are laid down for the calculation of SGMs for
certaintypes of en terprise:
(a)Grazinglivestockandfoddercrops
1.General rule
The method of applying the SGMs for grazing stock and fodder crops
depends on the ratio existing between these two groups of character-
istics onthe holdin g. The variable costs of fodder crops are deducted
when calculating the SGMs of grazing livestock. When applying the
Community typology the SGMs of fodder crops are therefore as a
general rule treated as being equal to zero.
2.No grazing livestock
(i) Fodder crops without grazing livestock
If there is no grazing livestock on the holding, the fodder crops
n ormally incommercial productionare treated inthe same way
as other crops and the corresponding SGMs are applied to them.
(ii) Permanent pasture and meadows not occupied by
grazing livestock
Inorder to make it possible to classify holdin gs, a major part of
whose area consists of permanent pasture or meadows which are
not in commercial production and which at the time of the survey
are not occupied by grazing livestock, nominal SGMs, on at flat-
rate basis, may be fixed for this characteristic inregion s where
such cases occur frequently, and applied to these holdings.
3.Unbalanced fodder situation
If there is a deficit or surplus of fodder on the holding, as defined in
(i) below, special provisions are applied:
— inthe case of a f odder deficit, special SGMs for grazing stock
are applied in the manner described in (ii) below,1985D0377 — EN — 23.05.2003 — 004.001 — 7
▼B
— inthe case of a fodder surplus, the SGMs for fodder crops are
applied in the manner described in (iii) below.
(i) For each regiona bracket is fixed outside which the holdin g
is considered as having a surplus or deficit of fodder.
There is a fodder deficit ona holdin g if the ratio R = SGM
grazing stock/SGM fodder crops exceeds a limit RD. There is
a fodder surplus if that ratio is below a limit RS.
(ii) Inthe case of a f odder deficit (R > RD), all the fodder
crops are considered as having an SGM equal to zero. For
all types of grazing stock, one part (including, where neces-
sary, fractions of animals) equal toRD
Ris considered as
falling under the ‘normal’ system, in which case the normal
SGMs are applied; the remaining partR/C0RD ðÞ
Ris considered
as being affected by the fodder deficit and specially fixed
SGMs for grazing stock are applied.
(iii) Inthe case of a f odder surplus (R<RS), a valuationof the
surplus part of the area of each fodder crop is made, applying
the corresponding SGM to this part. The surplus part corre-
sponds, as a rule, toRS/C0R ðÞ
RS:Inspecific cases, however, this
surplus part canbe defin ed inrelationto a valuation
threshold RVhigher thanRS. Inthe case of a fodder surplus,
the normal SGM is applied to each grazing livestock heading.
(iv) The Member States estabish the limits RDand RSand, if
appropriate, RVfor each region and communicate them to
the Commission.
(v) — The fodder crops to which the special provisions apply
are the following:
D12: forage roots and tubers,
D18: forage plants,
F01: pasture and meadows, excluding rough grazing,
F02: rough grazing.
— The grazing livestock to which the special provisions
apply are the following:
JO1: equidae,
JO2 to JO8: cattle,
JO9: sheep,
J10: goats.
(b)Fallowland
Inorder to make it possible to classify holdin gs which at the time of the
survey have only fallow land, nominal SGMs, on a flat-rate basis, may
be fixed for this characteristic inregion s where such cases occur
frequently, and applied to these holdings.
(c)Kitchengardens
Since the produce of kitchen gardens is not normally intended for sale,
the SGMs are generally regarded as equal to zero. However, for regions
where kitchen gardens which make an appreciable contribution to the
holding's gross production are common, SGMs may be determined by
applying, by analogy, the rules and methods set out in this Annex.
(d)Piglets
SGMs relating to piglets are taken into account when calculating the total
SGM of the holding only when there are no breeding sows on the
holding.1985D0377 — EN — 23.05.2003 — 004.001 — 8

ANNEX III
ECONOMICSIZEOFHOLDINGS
A. DEFINITION OF THE EUROPEAN SIZE UNIT (ESU)
1. The European size unit is based on the value of 1 000 ESU of total stan-
dard gross margin of the holding for the ‘1980’ reference period, as laid
down in paragraph 1 of Annex III to Commission Decision No 78/463/
EEC, as last amended by Decision 84/542/EEC.
2.►M1For subsequent reference periods for renewing SGMs, the value of
ECU 1 000 shall be multiplied by coefficients to take account, in mone-tary terms, of global agro-economic trends in the Community as a whole.
These coefficients shall be calculated by the Commission and fixed after
consultation with the Member States. Their application shall be decided
by the competent Commission departments after the competent depart-
ments in the Member States have been consulted. ◄
B. ECONOMIC SIZE OF THE HOLDING
The economic size of a holding is obtained by dividing the total standard
gross margin of the holding by the number of ECU on the basis of which
the ESU has been determined for the corresponding reference period in
accordance with point A of this Annex.
C. ECONOMIC SIZE CLASSES OF HOLDINGS
Holdings are classified by size classes, the limits of which are set out below.
Classes Limits inESU
I less than2 ESU
II from 2 to less than4 ESU
III from 4 to less than6 ESU
IV from 6 to less than8 ESU
V from 8 to less than12 ESU
VI from 12 to less than16 ESU
VII from 16 to less than40 ESU
VIII from 40 to less than100 ESU
IX from 100 ESU to less than250 ESU
X equal to or greater than250 ESU
The rules laid down for the application in the field of the farm accountancy
data network and the Community surveys of agricultural holdings may
provide that size classes III and IV, V and VI, and IX and X above are
grouped together.
The Member States which, in implementation of article 4(1) of Council
Regulation No 79/65/EEC, set a threshold of economic size of holding for
the field of survey of the farm accountancy data network which doesn not
coincide with the limits of the size classes as shown above, are to subdivide
these into sub-classes, the limits of which correspond to the thresholds fixed.1985D0377 — EN — 23.05.2003 — 004.001 — 36
