COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1242/2008

of 8 December 2008

establishing a Community typology for agricultural holdings

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation 79/65/EEC of 15 June 1965 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Articles 4(4), 6(2), and 7(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The production structures and systems are very diverse in the Community. In order to make the analyses of structural characteristics of the agricultural holdings and their economic results easier, an appropriate and homogenous classification of agricultural holdings by economic size and type of farming was established by Commission Decision 85/377/EEC of 7 June 1985 establishing a Community typology for agricultural holdings (2).

(2) The Community typology needs to be so arranged that homogeneous groups of holdings can be assembled in a greater or lesser degree of aggregation and that comparisons of the situation of holdings can be made.

(3) Given the growing importance in the income of the farmers from gainful activities directly related to the holding other than the agricultural activities of the holding, a classification variable reflecting the importance of the other gainful activities (OGA) directly related to the holding should be included in the Community typology.

(4) In order to achieve the objectives set by Articles 4(1), 6(1)(b) and 7(2) of Regulation 79/65/EEC, the implementing rules for the Community typology should be established. In addition, the Community typology should apply to returning holdings using the accountancy data collected through the Community Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN).

(5) Pursuant to Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1166/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on farm structure surveys and the survey on agricultural production methods and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 571/88 (3) the farm structure survey carried out on the basis of a sample must be statistically representative in terms of the type and the size of the agricultural holdings in line with the Community typology. Therefore, the Community typology should also apply to holdings for which data are collected through the farm structure surveys.

(6) The type of farming and the economic size of the holding should be determined on the basis of an economic criterion remaining always positive. Therefore it is appropriate to use the standard output. The standard outputs have to be established by product. The list of products for which standard outputs are to be calculated should be brought into line with the list of characteristics of the farm structure surveys established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1166/2008. In order to allow the application of the typology to the holdings in the FADN, a table of correspondence between the characteristics of the structure surveys and the headings of the farm return of the FADN needs to be established.

(7) The standard outputs are based on average values over a reference period of five years, but they should regularly be updated to take account of economic trends so that the typology may continue meaningfully to be applied. The frequency of the update should be linked to the years in which farm structure surveys are carried out.

(8) In order to draw up the selection plan of the returning holdings to be included in FADN 2010 it should be provided that the typology defined in this Regulation is already applied to the farm structure survey for 2007. Moreover, in order to ensure the comparability of the analyses on the situation of the agricultural holdings classified according to this typology, it should be provided that it should be applied to the farm structures surveys and FADN prior to 2010. Therefore a derogation needs to be included, providing that standard outputs are calculated for the reference period 2004.

(9) The standard outputs and the data needed for their calculation are to be transmitted to the Commission by the liaison agency designated by each Member State in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation 79/65/EEC. It should be provided that the liaison agency can communicate directly to the Commission the relevant information through the information system established by the Commission. Moreover it should be foreseen that this system allows the electronic exchange of information required on the basis of models available to the liaison agency through this system. It should also be provided that the Commission is to inform the Member States on the general conditions for implementing the computer system through the Community Committee of the Farm Accountancy Data Network.

(10) For reasons of clarity and taking account of the fact that the Community typology is a measure of general application, rather than a measure addressed to specific recipients, it is appropriate to replace Decision 85/377/EEC by a Regulation.

(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Community Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Subject-matter and scope

1. This Regulation sets up the ‘Community typology for agricultural holdings’, hereinafter referred to as ‘typology’, which is a uniform classification of holdings in the Community according to their type of farming and economic size and to the importance of the other gainful activities directly related to the holding.

2. The typology shall be used in particular for the presentation, by type of farming and by economic size class, of data collected through the Community farm structure surveys and the Community Farm Accountancy Data Network.

Article 2

Type of farming

1. For the purposes of this Regulation, the ‘type of farming’ of a holding shall be determined by the relative contribution of the standard output of the different characteristics of this holding to the total standard output of this one. The standard output shall be as laid down in Article 5.

2. Depending on the amount of detail required, the types of farming shall be divided into:

(a) general types of farming;

(b) principal types of farming;

(c) particular types of farming.

The classification of holdings by type of farming shall be as set out in Annex I.

Article 3

Economic size of the holding

The economic size of the holding shall be determined on the basis of the total standard output of the holding. It shall be expressed in euro. The method of calculating the economic size of the holding and the economic size classes shall be as set out in Annex II.

Article 4

Other gainful activities directly related to the holding

The importance of the gainful activities directly related to the holding other than the agricultural activities of the holding shall be determined on the basis of the percentage of those other gainful activities in the final output of the holding. This ratio shall be expressed as a percentage band. Those percentage bands shall be as laid down in Part C of Annex III.

The final output, the definition and the method of estimating that ratio are set out in Parts A and B of Annex III.

Article 5

Standard output and total standard output

1. For the purpose of this Regulation, ‘standard output’ shall mean the standard value of gross production.

The standard output shall be determined for each region referred to in Annex IV of this Regulation and for each crop and livestock characteristics of the farm structure survey referred to in Annex III of Regulation (EC) No 1166/2008.

The method of calculation for determining the standard outputs of each characteristic and the procedures for collecting the corresponding data are set out in Annex IV of this Regulation.

2. The total standard output of the holding shall correspond to the sum of the values obtained for each characteristic by multiplying the standard outputs per unit by the number of corresponding units.

3. For the purposes of calculating standard outputs for the farm structure survey for year N, ‘reference period’ shall mean the year N-3 covering the five successive years from year N-5 to year N-1.

The standard outputs shall be determined using average basic data calculated over a reference period of five years referred to in the first subparagraph. They shall be updated to take account of economic trends at least each time a farm structure survey is carried out.

The first reference period for which standard outputs shall be calculated corresponds to the reference period 2007 covering the calendar years 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 or the agricultural production years 2005/06, 2006/07, 2007/08, 2008/09 and 2009/10.

4. By way of derogation from paragraph 3, Member States shall calculate standard outputs for the reference period 2004 for the characteristics listed in the farm structure survey for 2007 as defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 204/2006 (4). In this case, the reference period shall cover either the calendar years 2003, 2004, 2005 or the agricultural production years 2003/04, 2004/05, 2005/06.

Article 6

Transmission to the Commission

1. The standard outputs and the data referred to in Part 3 of Annex IV shall be transmitted to the Commission (Eurostat) by the liaison agency designated by each Member State in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation 79/65/EEC or by the body to which this function has been delegated.

2. Member States shall transmit to the Commission the standard outputs for a reference period of year N and the data referred to in Part 3 of Annex IV before 31 December of the year N+3 or if necessary before a deadline established by the Commission after consultation of the Community Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network.

The standard outputs for the reference period 2004 shall be transmitted to the Commission by 31 December 2008.

3. For the transmission of the standard outputs and the data referred to in paragraph 1 Member States shall use the computer systems made available by the Commission (Eurostat) enabling electronic exchanges of documents and information between it and the Member States.

4. The form and content of the documents needed for transmission shall be laid down by the Commission on the basis of models or questionnaires made available via the systems referred to in paragraph 3. The provisions relating to the attributes of the data referred to in paragraph 1 shall be defined within the context of the Community Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network.

Article 7

Repeal

1. Decision 85/377/EEC is repealed.

However, Decision 85/377/EEC shall continue to apply in order to classify the holdings of the Farm Accountancy Data Network till the accounting year 2009 included and of the farm structure survey referred to in Council Regulation (EEC) No 571/88 (5) till the survey for 2007 included.

2. References to the repealed Decision shall be construed as references to this Regulation and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex V.

Article 8

Entry into force and application

This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

It shall apply from the accounting year 2010 for the Farm Accountancy Data Network and for the farm structure survey as of the 2010 survey.

ANNEX II ECONOMIC SIZE OF HOLDINGS A. ECONOMIC SIZE OF THE HOLDING The economic size of a holding is measured as the total standard output of the holding expressed in Euro. B. ECONOMIC SIZE CLASSES OF HOLDINGS Holdings are classified by size classes, the limits of which are set out below. Classes Limits in euro I less than 2 000 euro II from 2 000 to less than 4 000 euro III from 4 000 to less than 8 000 euro IV from 8 000 to less than 15 000 euro V from 15 000 to less than 25 000 euro VI from 25 000 to less than 50 000 euro VII from 50 000 to less than 100 000 euro VIII from 100 000 to less than 250 000 euro IX from 250 000 to less than 500 000 euro X from 500 000 to less than 750 000 euro XI from 750 000 to less than 1 000 000 euro XII from 1 000 000 to less than 1 500 000 euro XIII from 1 500 000 to less than 3 000 000 euro XIV equal to or greater than 3 000 000 euro 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 IV and V, VIII and IX, X and XI, from XII to XIV or from X to XIV are grouped together. Member States, in implementing Article 4(1) of Regulation 79/65/EEC, should fix a threshold of economic size of holding for the field of survey of the farm accountancy data network coinciding with the limits of the size classes as shown above.

ANNEX III OTHER GAINFUL ACTIVITIES DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE HOLDING A. DEFINITION OF THE OTHER GAINFUL ACTIVITIES DIRECTLY RELATED THE HOLDING The gainful activities directly related to the holding other than the agricultural 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. B. ESTIMATION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE OTHER GAINFUL ACTIVITIES (OGA) DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE HOLDING The share of the OGA directly related to the holding in the final output of the holding is estimated as the share of the OGA directly related to the holding turnover in the total turnover of the holding (including direct payments) as follows: C. CLASSES REFLECTING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE OGA DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE HOLDING Holdings are classified by classes reflecting the importance of OGA directly related to the holding in the final output, the limits of which are set out below. Classes Limits in percentage I From 0 % to 10 % II From more than 10 % to 50 % III From more than 50 % to less than a 100 %

ANNEX IV STANDARD OUTPUTS (SOs) 1. DEFINITION OF AND PRINCIPLES FOR CALCULATING SOs (a) The output of an agricultural characteristic means the monetary value of gross agricultural production at farm-gate price. The standard output (SO) means the value of output corresponding to the average situation in a given region for each agricultural characteristic. (b) Output 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 by the farm-gate price. VAT, taxes on products and direct payments are not included. (c) Production period The SOs correspond to a production period of 12 months (calendar year or agricultural production year). For crop products and livestock products for which the period of production is less than or exceeds 12 months, a SO corresponding to growth or production in 12 months is calculated. (d) Basic data and reference period The SOs are determined using the factors mentioned in point (b). To this end, the basic data are collected in the Member States for a reference period which covers five successive calendar years or agricultural production years. The reference period is the same for all Member States and is fixed by the Commission. For example SOs corresponding to the reference period ‘2007’ cover the calendar years 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 or the agricultural production years 2005/06, 2006/07, 2007/08, 2008/09 and 2009/10. (e) Units (1) Physical units: (a) The SOs for crop characteristics are determined on the basis of area expressed in hectares. For mushrooms, however, the SOs 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 Farm Accountancy Data Network the SOs, determined in this way, are divided by the number of annual successive harvests, such number being communicated by the Member States. (b) The SOs relating to livestock characteristics 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 SOs and the calculated SOs are established in euro. For the Member States not taking part in the Economic and Monetary Union, the SOs are converted into euro using the average exchange rates for the reference period as defined in point 1(d) of this Annex. These rates are communicated by the Commission to these Member States. The SOs may be rounded to the nearest EUR 5 where appropriate. 2. BREAKDOWN OF SOs (a) By crop and livestock characteristics The SOs are determined for all the agricultural characteristics corresponding to the headings of the Community farm structure surveys in the manner laid down in those surveys. (b) Geographical breakdown — The SOs are determined at least on the basis of geographical units which are compatible with those used for the Community farm structure surveys and for the Farm Accountancy Data Network. Less favoured or mountain areas are not considered as a geographical unit. — No SO is determined for characteristics which are not engaged in the region concerned. 3. COLLECTION OF DATA FOR DETERMINING SOs (a) The basic data for determining SOs are renewed at least each time a farm structure survey is carried out in the form of a census. (b) Between two Community farm structure surveys carried out in the form of a census, the SOs are updated each time there is a farm structure survey. 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 SO may be updated. The principles applying to such a method are laid down at Community level. 4. EXECUTION The Member States are responsible, in accordance with the provisions of this Annex, for collecting the basic data needed for calculating the SOs and for calculating them, for converting them into Euro and for collecting the data required for applying the updating method, if appropriate. 5. TREATMENT OF SPECIAL CASES The following special rules are laid down for the calculation of SOs for certain types of characteristics: (a) Fallow land without any subsidies SO relating to fallow land without any subsidies is taken into account when calculating the total SO of the holding only when there are other positive SOs on the holding. (b) Fallow land subject to the payment of subsidies, with no economic use and permanent grassland no longer used for production purposes and eligible for the payment of subsidies Since the produce of land subject to subsidies with no economic use is limited to the direct payments, the SOs are regarded as equal to zero. (c) Kitchen gardens Since the produce of kitchen gardens is normally intended for the holder's own consumption and not for sale, the SOs are regarded as equal to zero. (d) Livestock For livestock the characteristics 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). (e) Bovine animals under one year old, male and female SOs 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 SOs relating to the surplus number of bovine animals under one year are taken into account. (f) Other sheep and other goats SOs relating to other sheep are taken into account when calculating the total SO of the holding only when there are no breeding sheep females on the holding. SOs relating to other goats are taken into account when calculating the total SO of the holding only when there are no breeding goat females on the holding. (g) Piglets SOs 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. (h) Forage If there are no grazing livestock (i.e. equidae, cattle, sheep or goats) on the holding, the forage (i.e. roots and brassicas, 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.
