COMMISSION DECISION

of 24 November 1999

relating to the definitions of the characteristics, the list of agricultural products, the exceptions to
the definitions and the regions and districts regarding the surveys on the structure of agricultural
holdings

(notified under document number C(1999) 3875)

(2000/115/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 571/88 of 29
February 1988 on the organisation of Community surveys on
the structure of agricultural holdings (1), as last amended by
Commission Decision 98/377/EC (2) and in particular Article
8(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Article 8(1) of Regulation (EEC) No
571/88, any changes to the list of survey characteristics,
as well as to the definitions of the survey characteristics
and to the delimitation of the regions, survey districts and
other territorial units, are laid down under the procedure
given in Article 15 of this Regulation, i.e. by Commission
decision following the Opinion delivered by the Standing
Committee on Agricultural Statistics;

(2) The results of the Community surveys on the structure of
agricultural holdings provided for in Regulation (EEC) No
571/88 can be in concordance throughout the European
Community only if the terms contained in the list of
characteristics are understood and applied in a uniform
manner;

(3) The list of survey characteristics has been last amended by
the 1999/2000 basic
Decision 98/377/EC in view of
survey on the structure of agricultural holdings and

whereas Commission Decision 89/651/EEC (3), as
last
amended by Decision 97/418/EC (4),
lays down the
definitions, the list of agricultural products, the exceptions
to the definitions applied in certain Member States and
the regions and survey districts to be applied in the
framework of
the 1988 to 1997 structure surveys;
whereas as a consequence Decision 89/651/EEC has to be
adapted and supplemented;

(4) New variables have

to

been added

of
characteristics; whereas the development of agriculture
has made it necessary to revise the definitions of various
old variables; whereas Annex I to the present Commission
Decision therefore contains a new list of definitions in
view of the Community structure surveys after 1997;

the

list

(5) The list of agricultural products

and the

agricultural holdings

referred to in the
list of
definition of
exceptions to the Community definitions due to peculiar
circumstances in certain Member States also need to be
revised; whereas these revised lists of agricultural products
and of the accepted exceptions to the list of definitions
are contained in Annex II and III
to the present
Commission Decision;

(6) There is a need for a greater clarity of the correlation
between the nomenclature of statistical territorial units
(NUTS) and the regions and districts used for
the
purposes of the agricultural structure surveys; whereas it
if these regions and districts are defined in a
is useful
separate Annex IV to the present Commission Decision;

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

ANNEX I

I.

II.

(I = definitions,

II = explanatory notes)

AGRICULTURAL HOLDING

A single unit both technically and economically, which has single management and which produces
agricultural products. Other supplementary (non-agricultural) products and services may also be
provided by the holding.

1.

An agricultural holding is thus defined by the following characteristics:

1.1. Production of agricultural products

For the purpose of this survey (cid:145)agricultural products(cid:146) are taken to be those products listed in
Annex II

1.2. Single management

There can be single management even though this is carried out by two or more persons
acting jointly.

1.3. A single unit technically and economically

In general this is indicated by a common use of labour and means of production (machinery,
buildings or land, etc.).

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 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) common 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

L 38/4

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

12.2.2000

animals into agistment, i.e. the taking in of other persons(cid:146) cattle to graze at a certain rate.)
The following are not considered here:

(cid:151) common land allotted (C/03),

(cid:151) 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.
breeding activities;

land used for exercising racehorses), without

(b) kennels;

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

2.5.

(cid:145)Single-product group-holdings(cid:146) are treated as agricultural holdings independent of the (cid:145)parent(cid:146)
holdings if they mainly use their own factors of production and do not rely mainly on the
factors of production of
(cid:145)Single-product group-holdings(cid:146) are where
separate holdings put together their resources for one particular farm enterprise to form a
distinct joint enterprise run separately from the (cid:145)parent holdings(cid:146) (e.g. common orchard or a
common cattle lot) (partial fusion)

the (cid:145)parent(cid:146) holdings.

A.

II.

GEOGRAPHICAL SITUATION OF THE HOLDING

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

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

A/01

Survey district

I.

II.

The geographical situation of each holding shall be described by a code indicating the country, the
region and the survey district

The regions and districts for the purposes of the agricultural structure surveys are listed in Annex IV.

A/01 (a)

Municipality or sub-survey district

I.

II.

In the framework of the exhaustive survey 1999/2000, the geographical situation shall be described
by an additional code, indicating the municipality or sub-survey district, which allows an aggregation
of the results at least by (cid:145)objective zones(cid:146) within the meaning of Council Regulation (EEC) No
2052/88 (1), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 3193/94 (2) or, where applicable, the
most recent
legislation of any similar zones or areas, defined at any later stage, used in the
framework of implementing the tasks of the Structural Funds.

The Member States communicate to Eurostat
to which (cid:145)objective zone(cid:146) each municipality or
sub-survey district belongs. If the borders between different zones or areas divide the municipality or
sub-survey district, all holdings in the municipality or sub-survey district are determined to lie in the
zone or area, which forms the biggest part of the municipality or sub-survey district.

territorial units

The municipality or sub-survey district codes used conform to levels 4 or 5 of the nomenclature of
statistical
the Member State
communicates instead, for each holding, a code indicating which (cid:145)objective zone(cid:146) the holding is
located in. This information is to be referring to the situation at 30 June 1999, but is communicated
again, if the zones used in the framework of the Structural Funds are changed at any later stage.

these codes cannot be transmitted,

Less-favoured area

I.

II.

Areas designated, on the date of
the survey, as less-favoured within the meaning of Council
Regulation (EC) No 950/97 (1), (and, where applicable, the most recent legislation), appearing in the
Community list of
less-favoured agricultural areas as communicated by the Member States in
application of Article 21 of Regulation (EC) 950/97.

If the holding is only partially located in a less-favoured area, it is classified according to which area
the greater part of the holding belongs.

A/02 (a)

Mountain area

I.

II.

B.

Areas designated, on the date of the survey, as mountain areas within the meaning of Article 23 of
less-favoured
Council Regulation (EC) No 950/97 and appearing in the Community list of
agricultural areas as communicated by Member States in application of Article 21 of Regulation (EC)
No 950/97.

If the holding is only partially located in a less-favoured area, it is classified according to which area
the greater part of the holding belongs.

LEGAL PERSONALITY AND MANAGEMENT OF THE HOLDING (on the day of the survey)

B/01 and B/02

The person legally and economically responsible for the holding: the holder

I.

II.

The holder of the holding is that natural person, group of natural persons or the legal person on
whose account and in whose name the holding is operated and who is legally and economically
responsible for the holding, i.e. who takes the economic risks of the holding. The holder can own
the holding outright or rent it or be a hereditary long term leaseholder or a usufructuary or a
trustee. All partners on a group holding who take part in the farm work on the holding are
considered as being as holders.

The legal and economic responsibility is defined according to Member States’ documented own rules.

The holder may have delegated all or part of power of decision of the normal daily financial and
production routines of running of the holding to a manager.

In the case of share farming (see item C/03 (a)) the share farmer is shown as holder and not the
landlord.

B/01 (a) and (b) Natural person

I.

II.

For the purpose of this heading a natural person may be either a single individual (sole holder) or a
group of individuals (partners on a group holding).

The question whether a holder is a (cid:145)natural(cid:146) or a (cid:145)legal(cid:146) person is important for the classification of
holdings into the following groups:

Holdings where the holder is:

(a) a natural person and the sole holder of an independent holding;

(b) a group of natural persons being a group of partners on a (cid:145)group holding(cid:146);

(c) a legal person.

The laws of certain Member States treat for fiscal and/or legal reasons a (cid:145)legal(cid:146) person (company) as if
it were a (cid:145)natural(cid:146) person or a group of (cid:145)natural(cid:146) persons. These are generally any forms of enterprises

(1) OJ L 142, 2.6.1997, p. 1.

L 38/6

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

12.2.2000

where one or all of the members have full personal liability for the debts of the enterprise. In such
cases, Member States may attribute such a (cid:145)legal(cid:146) person to the classes (cid:145)sole holders(cid:146) or (cid:145)group
holdings(cid:146).

B/01 (a)

A natural person who is a sole holder, where the holding is independent

I.

II.

A single individual and natural person who is the holder of a holding which is not linked to any
holdings of other holders, either by common management or similar arrangements.

This holder can take any decisions regarding the holding by himself.

Spouses or close family members who own or rent a holding together should normally be
considered to have one independent holding managed by one sole holder.

Two persons living together like spouses, without being married, are also treated as spouses, if they
are legally recognised as such in the respective Member States.

The following, inter alia, are to be regarded as sole holders: siblings, joint beneficiaries under a will or
an intestate, etc., if they have not made an agreement and are not fiscally and/or legally treated as a
group holder or as a legal entity according to the laws of the Member State

If a company (legal person) is owned by only one natural person and is treated as a natural person
by the Member State (see definition of (cid:145)natural person(cid:146)), it is considered to be a holding with a sole
holder.

If only one person has the full
legal and economic responsibility for the holding, he/she is
considered to be the sole holder, even if the holding otherwise meets the criteria of a group holding.

B/01 (b)

One or more natural persons being partner in a group holding

I.

II.

One or more natural persons being a partner(s) of a group of natural persons owning, renting or
otherwise managing together one agricultural holding or managing together their individual holdings
as if they were one holding. The cooperation has to be carried out either conformant to law or by
written agreement.

If a company (legal person) is owned by more than one natural person and is treated as a natural
person by the Member State, it is considered being a group holding.

The Member States, for which it is optional to record variable B/01 (b), collect all information on all
holdings where the holders are natural persons under variable B/01 (a), regardless of whether they
are (cid:145)group holdings(cid:146) as defined below. For these Member States, if on one holding two or more
natural persons carry out the functions of the holder only one of them is shown as such. (For
example 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).

B/01 (c)

Legal person

I.

II.

A legal entity other than a natural person but having the normal rights and duties of an individual,
such as the ability to sue or becoming sued (a general legal capacity of its own).

The legal persons can be public or private, inter alia:

(cid:151) State, regions, municipalities, etc.;

(cid:151) the church and its institutions;

(cid:151) other similar institutions of public or semi-public character;

12.2.2000

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

L 38/7

(cid:151) all commercial enterprises except those under B/01 (a) or (b), especially the companies with

limited responsibilities, including such cooperative enterprises;

(cid:151) all stock corporations (enterprises having issued shares);

(cid:151) foundations (bodies administering provided funds for certain purposes that are often social or

philanthropic);

(cid:151) nonstock corporations with limited liabilities;

(cid:151) all other enterprises of similar character.

B/01 (d)

Number of partners

I.

The number of persons on a group holding who share legal and economic responsibilities related to
the holding and who are taking part in the farm work on the holding.

B/01 (e)

Family members

I.

II.

Generally, the family members of the holder are the spouse, relatives in the ascending or descending
line (including those by marriage and by adoption) and brothers and sisters of the holder or his/her
spouse.

The holders themselves are not included in the family members.

B/01 (f)

How many members of the partners’ families carry out farm work on the holding?

I.

II.

The number of family members of the partners of group holding who carry out farm work (as
defined under section L) on the holding on a full-time or part-time basis. It is irrelevant whether or
not they receive a wage.

The labour force data required for these family members is recorded under L/04 (cid:145)Non-family labour
regularly employed(cid:146) or L/05 + L/06 (cid:145)Non-family labour not regularly employed(cid:146).

B/02

Manager of the holding

I.

II.

The natural person or persons responsible for the normal daily financial and production routines of
running the holding concerned.

The manager is generally, but not always, the same person as the holder who is a natural person. As
managers of a group holding are taken those partners of the holding taking part in the farm work
on the holding.

In cases where the holder is not also the manager he/she has charged or employed someone else
with the running of the holding. This could be for example a member of his/her family (B/02 (a)) or
his/her spouse (B/02 (b)), but can also be a person with no family ties to the holder.

In cases where the holder is a sole holder or a legal person, there can be only one manager on the
holding.

The Member States, for which it is optional to record variable B/01 (b), collect all
information
required for managers as if one person only is manager. If, in these Member States, more than one
person is responsible for 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 or other similar criteria.

Manager’s agricultural training

Only one level is recorded for each person.

Only practical agricultural experience

I.

I.

II.

I.

Experience acquired through practical work on an agricultural holding.

Basic agricultural training

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

A completed agricultural apprenticeship is regarded as basic training.

Full agricultural training

Any training course continuing for the equivalent of at least two years full time training after the
end of compulsory education (see L/01 to L/06 (cid:145)School leaving age(cid:146)) 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.

II.

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.

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 (cid:145)accounting systems(cid:146):

(cid:151) occasional notes on certain operations in a ledger or notebook;

(cid:151) income and expenditure records (for calculating the rentability) for only part of the holding’s

agricultural activities;

(cid:151) data prepared for tax purposes only.

Type of tenure (cid:151) special cases

Where a (cid:145)single-product group-holding(cid:146)
is treated as an independent holding (see (cid:145)agricultural
holdings(cid:146), point 2.5) the total agricultural area of the (cid:145)single-product group-holding(cid:146) is attributed to
the person named as holder (B/01) but given the type of tenure under which it is held by the (cid:145)parent(cid:146)
holding.

2.

Land in co-ownership or leased and worked by several holdings but which does not constitute a
is treated as relating to the holder who takes the greatest part in
(cid:145)single-product group-holding(cid:146)
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.

II.

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.

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 (cid:145)Agricultural holding(cid:146), point 2.2) are allocated to
the holding in conjunction with which the retained land is normally worked and in general the same
labour force and means of production as for the rest of the holding are employed.

However, grazing rights on common grazing land are not included, e.g. on common land belonging
to the parish or to a cooperative (such areas, not being part of a holding, are not covered in this
survey).

C/02

Tenant-farmed agricultural area

I.

II.

Land rented by the holding in return for a fixed rent agreed in advance (in cash, kind or otherwise),
and for which there is a (written or oral) tenancy agreement. An area is allocated to only one
holding. If an area is rented out to several holdings during the reference year, it is normally allocated
to the holding with which it is associated for the longest time period during the reference year.

The rented land can consist of:

(cid:151) a complete holding,

(cid:151) individual parcels of land.

Land rented cannot be considered part of the property owner’s holding, but always of the lessee’s
holding. Any animals on the land are considered to belong to the holding in possession of the
animals.

Parcels of land or holdings rented by the holder from members of the holder’s family are included
here if these areas are farmed as part of the holding surveyed. Also included is land belonging to
another holding but worked by the holding under survey in return for a certain number of hours of
labour but not land put at the disposal of a farm-worker as a form of wage (As opposed to the case
of land put at the disposal of a farm worker as a form of wage, which generally remains within the
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).

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

C/03

Agricultural area share-farmed or farmed under other modes

(a)

I.

Share-farmed agricultural area

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

This includes, inter alia:

(cid:145)Colonia parziaria(cid:146) (cid:151) of complete holdings

In (cid:145)colonia parziaria(cid:146) 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
the outgoings and to divide the farms
to bear part of
production with the grantor in fixed proportions.

Agricultural area utilised under other modes of tenure

Other modes of tenure not covered elsewhere under C/01 to 03 (a).

This includes inter alia:

Land over which the holder enjoys rights:

(cid:151) by virtue of his occupancy of a particular post (forester, priest, teacher, etc.),

(cid:151) allotted by the parish or other organisation, for example, common grazing land apportioned on

an acreage basis (as distinct from land over which common grazing rights are enjoyed).

Land, which the holding works free of any charge (for example, areas from derelict holdings being
worked by the holding surveyed).

(cid:145)Colonia parziaria(cid:146) (cid:151) of individual parcels of land.

In (cid:145)colonia parziaria(cid:146) of individual parcels of land the grantor entrusts solely one or more parcels of
land, which are used under the same conditions as described under (a).

C/04

Number of parcels making up the utilised agricultural area

I.

II.

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.

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 (for example, 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.

C/05

Farming system and practices

C/05 (a)

Organic farming

I.

II.

Information is to be collected on whether or not the holding practises agriculture according to
certain set standards and rules specified in Council Regulation 2092/91 (1), as last amended by
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/97 (2) or, where applicable, the most recent legislation, on
(cid:145)organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products
and foodstuffs(cid:146), and/or the equivalent Community or national rules for organic production of
livestock.

The regulation sets up a harmonised framework for the labelling, production and control of
agricultural products bearing or intended to bear indications referring to organic production
methods. According to the regulation’s rules the production must take place such that the land
parcels, and production and storage locations are clearly separated from those of any other unit not
producing in accordance with the rules of organic farming. This means, in general, that the field
cultivation on the whole holding has to convert to this practice.

C/05 (b)

Low-input farming systems or practices

I.

II.

Farming systems or practises following accepted guidelines, not included in C/05(a), where the aim is
to use sustainable farming practises i.e. to use a minimum input of means of production and
especially of fertilisers and plant protection products.

This heading includes low-input farming systems (other than organic farming), for example, known as
integrated farming or integrated production.

LAND USE

I.

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

The agricultural area utilised 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), are included
from the year they are planted even though they are not yet in production.

Cultivated mushrooms (I/02) are excluded.

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

Areas of agriculture combined with woodland are similarly split up.

This principle does not apply to mixed crops (these are crops grown and harvested together on the
same ground, e.g. mixed corn), or to successive crops (e.g. barley 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
breakdown of the areas.

An exemption from the principle of pro rata allocation may be made where the results would not be
satisfactory, provided that
the rules established by the Member States in agreement with the
Commission are respected.

Successive crops are recorded only under heading I/01. Under headings D to G is the area of each
successive crop not calculated, but the area is allocated to only one crop taken as the main crop.
Where during one harvest year several crops are grown in succession on an area, the main crop is
the crop that has the highest values of the production. If the value of production does not determine
which is the main crop, then the main crop is taken as the one that occupies the ground for the
longest time.

II.

These crops should not be mistaken for normal winter green crops, such as winter wheat or
grassland, but are crops sown in the autumn with the only aim to reduce nutrient leakage. Normally
they are ploughed in during spring before sowing another crop, and are not harvested or used for
grazing.

I/09 (b)

Nitrogen fixing crops used for fertilising purposes

I.

II.

Certain crops, mainly leguminous plants that have nitrogen-fixing qualities, sown for purpose of soil
improvement or so called (cid:145)green(cid:146) fertilising.

There are basically two ways of using them: sowing them in a mixture with other crops or as pure
crops, sometimes as a successive crop after a crop has been harvested. The plants are tilled in to the
ground, not harvested, and their nitrogen contents serve as fertiliser for the successive plants. The
leguminous plants sowed in mixture with other crops serve as a nitrogen source for the main crop,
but is usually of more value when allowed to grow after the main crop has been harvested and then
ploughed in. The information to collect concerns the pure crops.

FARM LABOUR FORCE

The statistical
information on farm labour force is collected in a way that makes it possible to
compose tables where the data (e.g. on age and working time) from the different farm labour force
categories and classes are crossed with each other and/or with any other survey characteristics. This
means that each person doing farm work on the holdings is to be classified according to all classes
required for the category.

Data is collected only once for each person, i.e. if a person has multiple roles on the holding, for
example a holder’s spouse who at the same time is a manager, the data on this person is not to be
double-counted. The data is to be collected in the same order as the categories, i.e. first the role as
holder, then as manager, then as spouse, then as other family member.

Group holdings (the answer to question B/01 (b) is (cid:145)yes(cid:146)) are considered not to have family labour
(normally L/02) and (cid:145)other
force. As a consequence, for group holdings data on items (cid:145)spouse(cid:146)
members of the family(cid:146) (normally L/03 (a) and L/03 (b)) are attributed to item L/04.

In the case of holdings where the holder is a legal person the sections (cid:145)holder(cid:146) (L/01), (cid:145)spouse(cid:146) (L/02)
(L/03 (a) and L/03 (b)) are not completed. The manager is
and (cid:145)other members of the family(cid:146)
recorded under L/01 (a) and considered to be non-family labour. If the spouse of the manager or
his/her family members are working regularly on the holding, they are recorded under L/04 and, if
they are working non-regularly, under L/05 and 06.

The Member States, for which the question B/01 (b) is optional, do not gather information on
partners on group holdings. In these Member States information on holder is collected only for one
person (see B/01 (a)). Information on (cid:145)spouse(cid:146) (L/02) and (cid:145)other members of the family(cid:146) (L/03 (a) and
L/03 (b)) are completed only for the spouse and family members of this person. The information on
all other persons working regularly on the holding will be gathered under L/04 and, for persons
working non-regularly, under L/05 and 06.

L/01 to L/06

Farm labour force of the holding

I.

II.

All persons having completed their compulsory education (having reached school-leaving age) who
carried out farm work on the holding under survey during the 12 months up to the survey day.

This includes:

(cid:151) sole holders (including holders who do not carry out any work on the holding) and partners of
group holdings (excluding partners who do not carry out any work on the holding) and holding
managers (L/01 and L/01 (a)),

(cid:151) members of the sole holder’s family (L/02 and L/03),

(cid:151) non-family labour (L/04 to L/06).

The observation period may be less than 12 months if the information provided is on a 12-months
basis.

All persons of retiring age who continue to work on the holding are included in the farm labour
force.

Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands have a system of full-time compulsory education up to a
certain age and part-time compulsory education (usually as apprenticeships) for another two or three
years. Germany has different rules in different L(cid:228)nder.

Note: These ages must not be interpreted in a very strict way, as several Member States do not
actually prescribe an end age, but a number of years of schooling the person must have followed. As
a result, somebody who started at an unconventional age will also have the possibility of finishing at
an unconventional age.

Although in Portugal compulsory education ends at the age of 15, in the framework of structure
surveys young people working in agriculture are recorded from the age of 12.

excluded if it is impossible to measure it separately,

(cid:151) separable non-agricultural secondary activities (perhaps the processing of agricultural products

on the holding),

(cid:151) any non-agricultural activity carried out,

(cid:151) any other gainful activities (see L/07 to L/09 (cid:145)Other gainful activity(cid:146) and section M/01) carried

line (including those by marriage and by adoption) and brothers and sisters of the holder or his/her
spouse (See B/01 (e)). It is irrelevant whether or not such persons receive a wage or whether they
work regularly or not.

If only the non-family labour force and no other resources of the holding are used, the workers are
seen as working for two different set-ups, and these activities are thus not seen as being directly
related to the holding.

Activities where no direct relations exist, for example a shop where no own products are sold, are
not to be covered.
