COMMISSION DECISION

of 26 October 1989

relating to the definitions of the characteristics and to the list of agricultural products for the surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings during the period 1988 to 1997

(89/651/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 571/88 of 29 February 1988 on the organization of Community surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings between 1988 and 1997 (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 807/89 (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,

Whereas if the findings of the surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings provided for in Regulation (EEC) N° 571/88 are to be in concordance throughout the European Economic Community, the terms contained in the list of characteristics must be understood and applied in a uniform manner;

Whereas Community definitions should therefore be laid down for these terms wherever necessary;

Whereas for the purpose of comparability of survey results the definitions and geographical areas used for previous surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings should be retained wherever possible;

Whereas in accordance with Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) N° 571/88 the definitions relating to the list of characteristics and to regions and districts are those laid down in Commission Decision 83/461/EEC (3), as last

amended by Decision 85/643/EEC (4); whereas any amendments shall be adopted according to the procedure laid down in Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) N° 571/88;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) N° 571/88 refers to a period extending from 1988 to 1997 and applies to several Community surveys; whereas a complete and updated list of agreed Community definitions for the characteristics to be surveyed should be established;

Whereas, furthermore, in order to permit practical use of the list of characteristics in the Member States and facilitate interpretation of the survey results, these Decisions should be supplemented by explanations and examples;

Whereas, in particular in the sense of Regulation (EEC) N° 571/88, the statistical definition of the term 'agricultural holding' should be uniform throughout the European Economic Community and since that definition itself refers to 'agricultural products' it is consequently necessary to adopt the standard list of these products;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Community definitions to be used for Community surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings as provided

for by Regulation (EEC) N° 571/88 are given in Annex I, together with the relevant explanations and examples.

Article 2

The list of agricultural products referred to in the definition of agricultural holdings is given in Annex II.

Article 3

In view of circumstances peculiar to certain Member States, exceptions to the Community definitions shall be accepted as set out in Annex III.

Article 4

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

ANNEX I

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE LIST OF CHARACTERISTICS TO BE USED FOR COMMUNITY SURVEYS ON THE STRUCTURE OF AGRICULTURAL HOLDINGS

(I = definitions, II = explanatory notes)

AGRICULTURAL HOLDING

I.

A single unit both technically and economically, which has single management and the output of which is agricultural products.

II.

1.

An agricultural holding is thus defined by the following characteristics:

1.1.

Output of agricultural products

For the purpose of this survey '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.

2.

Special cases

2.1.

(a) When a holding is for tax or other reasons split up among two or more persons; or

(b) when two or more separate holdings, each having previously been an independent holding, have been integrated in the hands of a single holder;

the treatment is as a single holding, if there is a single management and technical and economic unity.

2.2.

Cases where a parcel of land has been retained by the former holder when transferring the holding to his successor (heir, tenant, etc.).

This 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.

For the purposes of this survey, the following are counted as agricultural holdings in so far as they fulfil the other criteria mentioned above as defining an agricultural holding:

(a) bull, boar, ram and he-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 industrial enterprises;

(d) comon land consisting of pasture, horticultural or other land, provided that such land is operated as an agricultural holding by the local authority concerned (e.g. by the taking of animals into agistment (;).

(;) The following are not considered here:

- common land allotted (C/03),

- common land which has been rented out (C/02).

2.4.

Not included as agricultural holdings for the purposes of this survey are:

(a) riding stables, racing stables, gallops (i.e. land used for exercising racehorses);

(b) kennels;

(c) markets, abattoirs, etc. (without rearing).

2.5.

'Single-product group-holdings' are treated as agricultural 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. GEOGRAPHICAL SITUATION OF THE HOLDING

The holding and all the information relating to it is taken as being in that district where the headquarters of the holding is situated (A/01).

Headquarters of the holding

The headquarters of the holding is defined according to Member States' own rules.

LEGAL PERSONALITY AND MANAGEMENT OF THE HOLDING

B/01

and

B/02The person legally or economically responsible for the holding (hereafter called the holder)

The holder of the holding is that (natural or legal) person in whose name the holding is operated. 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 holder may have delegated all or part of power of decision to a manager.

If on one holding two or more natural persons carry out the functions of the holder only one of 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 individual the choice should be based on some other criterion, such as age).

In the case of share farming the share farmer is shown as holder.

B/01

Natural person

I.

For the purpose of this heading a natural person may be either a single individual or a group of individuals.

II.

The following, inter alia, are to be regarded as groups of individuals: married couples, siblings, joint beneficiaries under a will or intestacy, etc.

B/02

Manager of the holding

I.

The person responsible for the normal daily running of the holding concerned.

II.

The manager is generally but not always the same person as the holder. In case the holder is not also the manager he has charged someone else, for example a member of his family, with the running of the holding.

One person only is taken as the manager. In the case where more than one person takes part in the normal daily running of the holding, then the person who takes the greatest part is considered as the manager. If this part is equally divided the necessary distinction may be made on the basis of age.

B/03

Manager's agricultural training

Only practical experience

I.

Experience acquired through practical work on an agricultural holding.

Basic training

I.

Any training courses completed at a general agricultural college and/or an institution specializing in certain subjects (including horticulture, viticulture, sylviculture, pisciculture, veterinary science, agricultural technology and associated subjects).

II.

A completed agricultural apprenticeship is regarded as basic training.

Full agricultural training

I.

Any training course continuing for at least two years after the end of compulsory education (;) 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.

B/04

Are accounts kept for the management of the holding?

I.

Accounts must include at least the systematic and regular recording of all current income and expenditure for the purpose of establishing, at the end of the accounting period, the profit achieved by the holding.

(;) Age at which compulsory education ends in each Member State: see footnote on page 28 of this Official Journal.

II.

An accounting system is also deemed to exist if such recording did not commence until during the 12 months preceding the survey.

Agricultural accounts may serve as a basis for administration of the holding by the holding manager; they may also be used to draw up a balance sheet and a profit and loss account.

The following are not regarded as 'accounting systems':

- occasional notes on certain operations in a ledger or notebook,

- income and expenditure records (for calculating the rentability) for only part of the holding's activities,

- data prepared for tax purposes only.

C.

TYPE OF TENURE AND FRAGMENTATION OF THE HOLDING

C/01

to

03Utilized agricultural area

I.

The total area taken up by arable land, permanent pasture, permanent crops and kitchen gardens (owner-farmed, tenant-farmed or worked free of charge).

II.

Type of tenure - special cases

1. Where a 'single-product group holding' is treated as an independent holding (see 'agricultural holdings', point 2.5) the total atricultural area of the group-holding is attributed to the person named as holder (B/01/II) but given the type of tenure under which it is held by the 'parent' holding.

2. Land in co-ownership or leased and worked by several holdings but which does not constitute a 'single-product group-holding' is treated as relating to the holder who takes the greatest part in running it but each part is given the type of tenure under which it is held by the parent holding.

C/01

Owner-farmed agricultural 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 lease holder 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 'Agricultural holding', point 2.2) are allocated to the main holding if worked with that holding.

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/02

Tenant-farmed agricultural area

I.

Land rented by the holding in general for a period of at least 12 months and 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.

II.

The rented land can consist of:

- a complete holding,

- individual parcels of land.

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 crop rotation 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.

Land worked by the holding as conacre '11 month land' in Ireland and in Northern Ireland or as 'zaaiklaargehuurd land' (land ready for sowing rented for a year) also comes under this heading.

Rented land which has been sublet to a third party is not included, since it does not constitute part of the holding surveyed.

C/03

Agricultural area share-farmed or farmed under other modes

I.

(a) Share-farmed agricultural area

Land (which may constitute a complete holding) farmed in partnership by the landlord and the share-cropper under a written or oral share-farming contract. The production of the share cropped area is shared between two parties on an agreed basis.

(b) Agricultural area utilized under other modes of tenure

Other modes of tenure not covered by C/01 to 03 (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 organization, 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 complete holdings and of individual parcels of land (;).

C/04

Number of parcels making up the utilized agricultural area

I.

A parcel is any piece of land belonging to the holding but completely surrounded by land, water, roads or forests, etc., not belonging to the holding.

II.

A parcel may consist of one or more adjacent fields. A field is a piece of land situated within, but separated from the rest of a block by clearly visible demarcation lines (e.g. tracks, ditches, brooks, hedgerows). A field may comprise one or more plots of land. A plot of land is that part of a field (or its entirety used for a given crop or combination or crops.

D

to

ILAND USE ($)

The total area of the holding (D to H) consists of the agricultural area utilized by the holding (D to G) and other land (H).

I.

The agricultural area utilized for farming includes the area under main crops for harvest in the year of the survey.

II.

For the breakdown of land use by area farmed each area is listed only once.

Permanent crops and crops lasting several years (e.g. asparagus, strawberries or bushes), not yet in production, are included.

Cultivated mushrooms are excluded.

In the case of combined crops the utilized agricultural area is allocated among the crops pro rata to the use of the ground by the crops concerned.

(;) In 'colonia 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.

In 'colonia 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).

($) The reference numbers given in the definitions of items under headings D to G are based on the list of agricultural products (Annex II).

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 undersown with clover for later harvesting).

In the case of combined crops, if one crop has no significance for the holding, it is ignored in the breakdwon of the areas.

In the case of successive crops the area of each successive crop is not calculated. The area is allocated to one crop taken as the main crop (;).

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.

D.

ARABLE LAND

I.

Land worked regularly, generally under a system of crop rotation.

II.

G/07Crops under glass or high (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.

For mobile greenhouses or high cover the area reported is the total area actually covered during the preceding 12 months (summing them up to 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 reproted 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.

II.

Fallow land is not to be confused with successive crops (I/01) and unutilized agricultural area (H/01). The essential characteristic of fallow land is that it is left to recover, normally for the whole of a crop year.

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).

E.

II.

Not included are:

- pleasure gardens (parks and lawns) (H/03),

- areas cultivated by collective households, for example research institutions, religious communities, boarding schools, prisons, etc. These areas count as an agricultural 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 agricultural holding, classified according to their use.

F.

PERMANENT PASTURE AND MEADOW

II.

As from 1988, categories H/01 and H/03, which were treated separately up to the 1987 survey, are dealt with as a single characteristic: 'H/01 and H/03'.

In the current list of definitions, these two characteristics are still listed separately to ensure continuity between the surveys carried out from 1988 on and previous ones.

H/01

Unutilized agricultural land (agricultural land which is no longer farmed, for economic, social or other reasons, and which is not used in the crop rotation system)

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 crop rotation system.

If this is done more than once the area is still counted once only.

I/03

Irrigated area

I/03

(a) Total irrigable area

I.

The maximum area which could be irrigated in the reference 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 equipment may be mobile and therefore utilizable on several fields 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/03

(b) Area of crops which are irrigated at least once a year

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.

L/01

to

06The time worked on the holding

I.

The working time actually devoted to agricultural work for the holding, excluding work in the households of the holder or manager.

'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 is to be taken as the minimum figure (225 working days of 8 hours per day).

A working day is any day during which there is performed for a period of not less than eight hours work of the kind normally carried out by a full-time agricultural worker. Days of leave and sickness do not count as working days.
