Article 10

The methods and deadlines for data transmission to the Commission

1. The farm returns shall be submitted to the Commission by the liaison agency referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 via a computerised delivery and control system as referred to in Article 19(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009. The required information shall be exchanged electronically on the basis of models made available to the liaison agency via that system.

2. Member States shall be informed of the general conditions for implementing the computerised system referred to in paragraph 1 via the Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network.

3. The farm returns shall be submitted to the Commission by 31 December after the end of the accounting year in question.

Member States which were not able to deliver the 2012 farm return data within the time period set out in the first subparagraph may submit the farm returns to the Commission up to three months after the deadline referred to in the first subparagraph.

▼M6

In the case of exceptional circumstances that may disrupt data delivery, the Member States shall promptly inform the Commission about the status of the data collection and data delivery as well as propose a solution for data delivery. After the analysis of information provided, the Commission may exceptionally extend the deadline referred to in the first subparagraph once by maximum 3 months.

▼B

4. Farm returns are deemed delivered to the Commission once the accountancy data referred to in Article 9 have been introduced in the computerised delivery and control system referred to in paragraph 1, the subsequent computer-based checks have been executed and the liaison agency has confirmed that the data are ready to be loaded into that system.







CHAPTER 4

STANDARD FEE

Article 11

Duly completed farm returns

For the purposes of Article 19(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 a farm return is duly completed when its content is factually accurate and the accountancy data contained therein are recorded and presented in accordance with the form and layout set out in Annex VIII to this Regulation.

▼M5

Accountancy offices and administrative departments carrying out duties of accountancy offices shall be responsible for the due and timely completion of the farm returns so that they can be submitted by liaison agencies within the deadlines referred to in Article 14(3) and (4) of this Regulation.

▼B

Article 12

Eligible number of farm returns

The total number of duly completed and submitted farm returns per Member State as referred to in Article 5a(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 that are eligible for the payment of the standard fee shall not exceed the total number of returning holdings laid down for that Member State in Annex II to this Regulation.

Where Member States have more than one FADN division, the number of duly completed and submitted farm returns per FADN division that are eligible for payment of the standard fee may be up to 20 % higher than the number laid down for the FADN division concerned, provided that the total number of duly completed and submitted farm returns of the Member State concerned shall not be higher than the total number laid down for that Member State in Annex II to this Regulation.

▼M4

However, farm returns from a FADN division with a higher number of submitted farm returns than laid down for that FADN division in Annex II shall not be considered as eligible for the payment of the standard fee in a FADN division for which less than 80 % of the required number of returning holdings is submitted by the Member State.

▼B

Article 13

Payment of the standard fee

The total amount of the standard fee referred to in Article 19(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 shall be paid in two instalments:

(a) a payment corresponding to 50 % of the total amount calculated on the basis of the amount fixed in the first paragraph of Article 14 of this Regulation shall be made at the beginning of each accounting year for the number of returning holdings laid down in Annex II to this Regulation;

(b) the remaining amount shall be paid after the submitted farm returns have been verified by the Commission as being duly completed.

The remaining amount referred to in point (b) of the first paragraph of this Article shall be calculated by multiplying the standard fee per farm return calculated on the basis of Article 14 of this Regulation by the number of duly completed farm returns that are eligible pursuant to Article 12 of this Regulation and by subtracting the payment referred to in point (a) of the first paragraph of this Article.

▼M5

The standard fee shall contribute to the costs of due completion of the farm returns and of improvements of data delivery timings, processes, systems, procedures and overall quality of the farm returns, in particular by the accountancy offices and by administrative departments carrying out duties of accountancy offices in this respect.

The standard fee paid to the Member States for the eligible number of duly completed farm returns transferred to the Commission shall become the resources of the Member State and no longer of the Union.

Covering the costs in respect of the setting up and operation of the National Committee, Regional Committees and liaison agencies shall be under the responsibility of the Member States.

▼M3

Article 14

Amount of the standard fee

1. The standard fee referred to in Article 19(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 shall be fixed at EUR 160 per farm return.

2. If the 80 % threshold referred to in Article 19(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 is not met neither at the level of a FADN division or at the level of the Member State concerned, the reduction referred to in that provision shall be applied only at national level.

3. Subject to the fulfilment of the obligation to comply with the 80 % threshold as referred to in Article 19(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 in respect of a FADN division or a Member State, the standard fee is increased by: (a) EUR 5 where the Member State submits the accountancy data referred to in Article 9 of this Regulation not later than 1 month before the relevant deadline referred to in Article 10(3); or (b) EUR 7 in the accounting year 2018 and EUR 10 from the accounting year 2019 where the Member State submits the accountancy data referred to in Article 9 of this Regulation not later than 2 months before the relevant deadline referred to in Article 10(3).

▼M5

4. To the increase of the standard fee under points (a) and (b) of paragraph 3 may be added EUR 2 for the accounting year 2018, EUR 5 for the accounting years 2019 and 2020 and EUR 10 from the accounting year 2021 where the accountancy data has been verified by the Commission in accordance with point (b) of the first paragraph of Article 13 of this Regulation and is deemed duly completed in accordance with Article 8(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, either at the moment of its submission to the Commission, or within 40 working days from the date on which the Commission informed the submitting Member State that the submitted accountancy data is not duly completed.

▼M4

In exceptional and duly justified cases, the Commission may decide to extend that period of 40 working days.

The end date of the period of 40 working days, or of any extension thereof, shall be confirmed in writing between the Commission and the liaison agency of the Member State concerned.

ANNEX IV

PARTICULAR TYPES OF FARMING SPECIALISATIONS AND THEIR CORRESPONDENCE WITH GENERAL AND PRINCIPAL TYPES OF FARMING (ARTICLE 4)

The following definitions apply:

(a) Standard output (SO) is the standard value of gross production. The SO is used for classifying farms according to the Union farm typology (in which the type of farming is defined by main production activities) and for determining economic farm size.

(b) Standard output coefficient (SOC) is the average monetary value of gross production of each agricultural variable referred to in Article 6(1), corresponding to the average situation in a given region, per unit of production. SOCs are calculated at farm-gate price, in euro per hectare of crop or euro per head of livestock (exceptions apply for mushrooms in euro per 100 m2, poultry in euro per 100 heads and bees in euro per hive). VAT, taxes and subsidies are not included in the farm-gate price. SOCs are updated at least every time a European survey on the structure of agricultural holdings is conducted.

(c) Total SO of a holding is the sum of the individual production units of a specific holding multiplied by their respective SOC.

A. PARTICULAR TYPES OF FARMING SPECIALISATION

The particular types of farming specialisation are defined by two features:

(a) The nature of the variables concerned The variables refer to the relevant list of variables surveyed in the IFS data collections: they are indicated by using the codes presented in the table of correspondence in Part B.I of this Annex or by a code regrouping several of those variables as set out in Part B.II of this Annex ( 1 ).

(b) The conditions determining the class limits Unless otherwise indicated, these conditions are expressed as fractions of the total SO of the holding.

All conditions indicated for particular types of farming specialisation have to be met cumulatively in order for the holding to be classified under the related particular type of farming specialisation.

ANNEX VI

STANDARD OUTPUT COEFFICIENTS (SOCs) REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 6

1. DEFINITION AND PRINCIPLES FOR CALCULATION OF SOCs

(a) The standard output (SO), standard output coefficient (SOC) and total SO of a holding are defined as laid down in Annex IV of this Regulation.

(b) Production period The SOCs correspond to a production period of 12 months. For crop products and livestock products for which the period of production is less than or exceeds 12 months, a SOC corresponding to growth or production in a 12-month period is calculated.

(c) Basic data and reference period The SOCs are determined on the basis of the production per unit and the farm-gate price referred to in the definition of SOC in Annex IV. To this end, the basic data are collected in the Member States for a reference period defined in Article 4 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1198/2014 ( 2 ).

(d) Units (1) Physical units: (a) The SOCs for crop variables are determined on the basis of area expressed in hectares. (b) For mushrooms, the SOCs are determined on the basis of gross output for all the annual successive harvests and are expressed per 100 m2 of area under crops. For their use in the context of the FADN, such SOCs for mushrooms are divided by the number of annual successive harvests, which is to be communicated to the Commission pursuant to Article 8 of this Regulation. (c) The SOCs relating to livestock variables are determined by head. (d) Exceptions apply for poultry, for which SOC are determined in terms of 100 heads, and for bees, for which they are determined by hive. (2) Monetary units and rounding: The basic data for determining the SOCs and the calculated SOs are established in EUR. For the Member States not taking part in the Economic and Monetary Union, the SOCs are converted into EUR using the average exchange rates for the reference period as defined in point 1(c) of this Annex. These average exchange rates are calculated based on the official exchange rates published by the Commission (Eurostat). The SOCs may be rounded to the nearest EUR 5 where appropriate.

2. BREAKDOWN OF SOCs

(a) By crop and livestock variables The SOCs are determined for all the agricultural variables corresponding to the headings for the application of SOCs listed in Table B.I in Annex IV of this Regulation.

(b) Geographical breakdown — The SOCs are determined at least on the basis of geographical units which are usable for the IFS and for the FADN. These geographical units are all based on the general Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) as defined in Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 3 ). These units are described as a regrouping of NUTS 3 regions. Areas with natural constraints are not considered as a geographical unit. — No SOC is determined for variables which are not relevant in the region concerned.

3. COLLECTION OF DATA FOR DETERMINING SOCs

(a) The basic data for determining SOCs are renewed at least each time a European survey on the structure of agricultural holdings is carried out in the form of a census as referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1091.

(b) When the IFS may be carried out as sample survey as referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1091, the updating of the SOCs shall be carried out: (i) either by renewing the basic data in a manner similar to that specified in point (a), (ii) or by applying a coefficient of change whereby SOCs are updated to take account of changes, as estimated by the Member State, in quantities produced per unit and in prices with respect to each variable and region, that have occurred since the last reference period, as referred to in Article 4 of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1198/2014.

4. EXECUTION

The Member States are responsible, in accordance with the provisions of this Annex, for collecting the basic data needed for calculating the SOCs and for calculating them, for converting them into EUR and for collecting the data required for applying the updating method, if appropriate. The Member States shall submit their collection and calculation methodologies to the Commission, and if required, provide explanations in order to harmonise the SOC calculations methodology throughout the Member States.

5. TREATMENT OF SPECIAL CASES

The following special rules are laid down for the calculation of SOCs for certain variables and for calculating the total SO of the holding:

(a) Fallow land The SOC relating to fallow land is taken into account when calculating the total SO of the holding only when there are other positive SOCs on that holding.

(b) Kitchen gardens Since the produce of kitchen gardens is normally intended for the holder’s own consumption and not for sale, the SOCs for kitchen gardens are regarded as equal to zero.

(c) Livestock For livestock the variables are split by category of age. The output corresponds to the value of growth of the animal during the time spent in the category. In other words, it corresponds to the difference between the value of the animal when it is leaving the category and its value when it is entering the category (named also the replacement value).

(d) Bovine animals less than 1 year old SOCs relating to bovine animals under one year old are taken into account when calculating the total SO of the holding only when there are more bovine animals under one year than cows on the holding. Only the SOCs relating to the surplus number of bovine animals under one year are taken into account. There is only one SOC relating to bovine animals less than 1 year old irrespective of the sex of the animal.

(e) Other sheep and other goats SOCs relating to other sheep are taken into account when calculating the total SO of the holding only when there are no breeding female sheep on the holding. SOCs relating to other goats are taken into account when calculating the total SO of the holding only when there are no breeding female goats on the holding.

(f) Piglets SOCs relating to piglets are taken into account when calculating the total SO of the holding only when there are no breeding sows on the holding.

(g) Forage If there are no grazing livestock (i.e. bovine, sheep or goats) on the holding, the forage (i.e. roots, plants harvested green, pasture and meadows) is considered as intended for sale and is part of the general cropping output. If there are grazing livestock on the farm, the forage is considered as intended to feed the grazing livestock and is part of the grazing livestock and forage output.

ANNEX VII

OTHER GAINFUL ACTIVITIES DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE HOLDING (ARTICLE 7)

A. DEFINITION OF THE OTHER GAINFUL ACTIVITIES (OGA) DIRECTLY RELATED THE HOLDING

The gainful activities directly related to the holding other than the agri- cultural activities of the holding comprise all activities other than farm work, directly related to the holding and having an economic impact on the holding. Those are activities where either the resources of the holding (area, buildings, machinery, agricultural products, etc.) or the products of the holdings are used.

Gainful activities in this context mean active work; pure financial investments are therefore excluded. Renting out the land or other agricultural resources of the farm 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 is considered as OGA unless the processing is regarded as a part of an agricultural activity. ►M2 Wine and olive oil production are regarded as agricultural activities if the bought-in proportion of wine or olive oil is not 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.

B. ESTIMATION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE OTHER GAINFUL ACTIVITIES DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE HOLDING

The share of the OGA directly related to the holding in the output of the holding is estimated as the share of the OGA directly related to the holding turnover in the sum of total turnover of the holding and direct payments of that holding under Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 ( 4 ):

C. CLASSES REFLECTING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE OGA DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE HOLDING

Holdings are classified by classes reflecting the share of OGA directly related to the holding in the output of the holding. The following limits shall apply:







Classes Percentage bands I From 0 % to 10 % (marginal share) II From more than 10 % to 50 % (medium share) III From more than 50 % to less than a 100 % (significant share)









ANNEX VIII

FORM AND LAYOUT OF THE FARM RETURN (ARTICLE 9)

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 below, 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.

— 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’.

When a value is not relevant or missing for any particular holding, do not enter value ‘0’.

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

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.

The data in a farm return should be given with the following degrees of accuracy:

— financial values : values in EUR or in national monetary units without decimal. However, for national currencies where the unit represents a low relative value compared to the EUR, it may be agreed between the liaison agency of the Member State in question and the staff of the Commission which manages the FADN, to express the values in hundreds or thousands of national currency units,

— physical quantities : in quintals (1 q = 100 kg) except in the case of eggs, which will be expressed in thousands and wine and related products which will be expressed in hectolitres,

▼M1

— areas : in ares (1 a = 100 m2), except in the case of mushrooms which will be expressed in square metres of total cropped area and except in Table M ‘Subsidies’, where basic units are to be registered in ha,

▼B

— average livestock numbers : to two decimal places, except for poultry and rabbits, which are to be given in whole numbers, and bees which are to be given in number of occupied hives,

— labour units : to two decimal places.

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

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. FADN Division: a code number is to be given, corresponding to the code set in Annex II to this Regulation.

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 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.H. Serial number of the holding.

A.LO. Location of the holding

The location of the holding is given with two indications: the geo-reference (latitude and longitude) and the code of the NUTS level 3 territorial units.

A.LO.20. Latitude: degrees and minutes (within an arc of 5 minutes), columns DG and MI.

A.LO.30. Longitude: degrees and minutes (within an arc of 5 minutes), columns DG and MI.

A.LO.40.N. The NUTS3 code means the code of the NUTS level 3 territorial unit where the holding is located. The latest version of the code as described in Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 should be given.

A.AI. Accounting information

A.AI.50.AO. Number of the accounting office: a code number is to be given.

In each Member State, each accounting office should be given a unique number. The number of the accounting office which has dealt with the holding for this accounting year should be given.

A.AI.60.C. Type of accounting: an indication is to be given on the type of accounting that the farm keeps. The following code numbers are to be used:

1. Double-entry accounting

2. Single-entry accounting.

3. None.

A.AI.70.DT. Date of closure of accounts: to be recorded in format ‘YYYY-MM-DD’, for example 2009-06-30 or 2009-12-31.

A.TY. Typology

A.TY.80.W. National weight of the farm: the value of the extrapolating factor calculated by the Member State should be given. Values must be expressed with two decimals.

A.TY.90.TF. Type of farming at the time of selection: holding type of farming code in accordance with Annex IV to this Regulation at the time of selection for the accounting year in question.

A.TY.90.ES. Economic size at the time of selection: economic size class code of holding in accordance with Annex V to this Regulation at the time of selection for accounting year in question.

A.CL. Classes

A.CL.100.C. Other gainful activities directly related to the holding: to be provided as a percentage band indicating the share of turnover ( 5 ) coming from the other gainful activities directly related to the holding in the total farm turnover. The following code numbers are to be used:

1. ≥ 0 to ≤ 10 % (marginal share)

2. > 10 % to ≤ 50 % (medium share)

3. > 50 % to < 100 % (significant share)

A.CL.110.C. Type of ownership/economic objective: an indication of what are the ownership and economic objectives of the holding should be given. The following code numbers should be used:

1. family farm: the holding uses the labour and capital of the holder(s)/manager(s) and his/her family and they are the beneficiaries of the economic activity;

Code (*) Description of categories Group A 10 UAA for owner farming UO 20 Rented UAA UT 30 Sharecropped UAA US

Land of holdings held in common by two or more partners should be recorded as owner-occupied, rented or sharecropped according to the arrangement in force between the partners.

Utilised agricultural area (UAA) is the total area taken up by arable land, permanent grassland, permanent crops and kitchen gardens used by the holding regardless of the type of tenure. Common land used by the holding is not included.

The following groups of information and categories should be used:

B.UO. UAA for owner farming

B.UO.10.A UAA (arable land, permanent grassland, permanent crops and kitchen gardens) of which the farmer is the owner, tenant for life or leaseholder and/or UAA held on similar terms. This category includes land leased to others ready for sowing (crop code 11300 ).

B.UT. UAA for tenant farming

▼M1

B.UT.20.A UAA (arable land, permanent grassland, permanent crops and kitchen gardens) worked by a person other than the owner, tenant for life or leaseholder, holding a tenancy on the said area (the rent is payable in cash and/or in kind; being generally fixed in advance, it does not normally vary with the farming results) and/or UAA farmed on similar terms of tenure.

The term 'labour' includes all persons who have been engaged on work on the farm during the accounting year. 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 code 2010 ‘Contractual work’) and as a cost (table H code 1010 ‘Wages and social security’);

(b) assistance given in the form of work is offset by a service of another 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 code 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 wine holdings, and farms specialising in the seasonal fattening of animals or in the production of fruit and vegetables in the open; (b) absence from work other than for normal holidays, e.g. military service, illness, accident, maternity, extended leave, etc.; (c) joining or leaving the holding; (d) total cessation of work on the holding due to accidental causes (flood, fire, etc.). There are the following categories: C.UR.10. Holder(s)/manager(s) 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(s)/not manager(s) Person who assumes economic and legal responsibility for the holding without undertaking its day-to-day management. C.UR.30 Manager(s)/not holder(s) Person who undertakes day-to-day management of the holding without assumption of economic and legal responsibility for it. C.UR.40. Spouse(s)/partner(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.
