            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2022/2499
of 12 December 2022
         
amending and correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 laying down rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Union


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 of 30 November 2009 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Union (1), and in particular Article 5(1), third subparagraph, Article 5a(2), Article 8(3), third and fourth subparagraphs, and Article 19(3) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Article 10(3), third subparagraph, of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 (2) provides for the possibility to extend the deadline for farm return data transmission until 31 December after the end of the accounting year in question by 3 months. This possibility was granted as from the 2019 accounting year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pressure due to the pandemic is fading away and most of the Member States transmitted the data without making use of the extension. The possibility to extend the deadline for data transmission is therefore not necessary anymore. To give enough time to Member States to adapt to this change, the possibility to extend the deadline should cease to be applicable from the 2022 accounting year.












(2)


To allow the Commission services to support adequately the Member States’ authorities in charge of transmitting the accountancy data before the data transmission deadline, and to avoid that the Commission and Member States staff are mobilised during the end of the year period, the deadline for the data transmission should be anticipated to 15 December after the end of the accounting year in question. This change should be applicable from the 2022 accounting year. However, due to the specificity of the accountancy rules in Germany and taking into account Germany’s past record in delivering such data, Germany should be allowed to submit the farm returns to the Commission up to 15 weeks after that deadline of 15 December.












(3)


Article 14 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 provides for the Union financial contribution to the data collection costs of the Member States. The current standard fee per farm return has fixed and variable parts. In order to significantly simplify the standard fee structure and the processing of data by the Member States and the Commission, a standard fee with only a fixed part, amounting to the sum of the current fixed and variable parts should be set. Such simplification is easy to put in place and it should be applicable from the 2022 accounting year.












(4)


Following the request of France to merge its two FADN divisions ‘Guadeloupe’ and ‘Martinique’ into one FADN division called ‘Antilles françaises’ as farms in both current FADN divisions have very similar types of farming (highly specialized in fruit growing, particularly bananas, as well as in sugar cane production and horticulture). This merge will provide a larger sample size with more robust results on more types of farming. It is appropriate to allow that Member State to revise its selection plan for the accounting year 2023. Annexes I and II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 should therefore be amended accordingly.












(5)


Following the request of Hungary to change the number of returning holdings and the threshold of economic size due to structural changes in agriculture, it is appropriate to allow that Member State to revise its selection plan and the threshold of economic size for the accounting year 2023 and to redistribute or adjust the number of returning holdings accordingly. Annexes I and II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 should therefore be amended accordingly.












(6)


Following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union, the FADN data collection will not be pursued in that country. Annexes I and II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 should therefore be amended accordingly.












(7)


As the Union aims to diversify its energy sources, the category of heating fuels in Table H of Annex VIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 should be sub-divided into natural and manufactured gases, oil and petroleum products, solid fossil fuels as well as renewable fuels to inform more about their specific costs at the farm level, the proposed sub-division of category of heating fuels should apply as from the accounting year 2023 on a voluntary basis and compulsorily from the accounting year 2025 onwards.












(8)


Table J of Annex VIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 requires Member States to provide the average number of animals of the agricultural holding. This is then used to calculate the standard output of the farm and its economic size. In order to allow reflecting an exceptional situation (e.g. disease on the holding or culling for sanitary reason) that leads to a temporary decrease of the average number of animals without affecting the capacity of the holding to produce after the end of the exceptional situation, it is proposed to introduce a reference number for animals to characterise the production capacity of the given holding. The proposed new variable should apply as from the accounting year 2022 on a voluntary basis.












(9)


As from 2023, Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) reforming the common agricultural policy will apply, therefore, it is necessary to update a list of payments and grants in Table M of Annex VIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220.












(10)


Annex VIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 sets out the form and layout of the accountancy data contained in the farm returns. In order to simplify and clarify the farm return questionnaire, that Annex should be adapted to reflect the first wave of outcomes provided by the Working Group on the FADN simplification and modernisation. In the explanatory notes to Table B, the note to code UO (B.UO. UAA for owner farming) erroneously contains a reference to crop code 11300 that is no longer valid. That error should be corrected.












(11)


Part B of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 provides for the table of correspondence and regrouping codes linking Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1874 (4) and the FADN farm returns. In the list of codes regrouping several variables included in IFS 2020 set out in section II of Part B, the entry related to the P16 code contains a misprint that requires correction.












(12)


Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly.












(13)


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





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Annex VIII is amended as follows:






(a)


the paragraphs below the title are replaced by the following:

                                    ‘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 code>(.<other specific category codes).column
Specific data values are captured at column level. In the tables 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”.










—


M.S.1150.1.2.V (column V of the group S, category 1150 with other specific category codes 1 and 2 from table M) represents the subsidy value of “Basic Income Support for Sustainability – based on payments entitlements” that is financed solely from the Union budget and is granted per ha.




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,
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,
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.’;

Table A (General information on the holding) is amended as follows:






(i)


in the first and the second part of the table, the column ‘Number of the accounting office’ (AO) is deleted;

3 


The subsidy is granted per tonne.




4 


Farm/other: the subsidy is granted for the whole farm or in a way which does not fit in the other categories.




Table M “SUBSIDIES” covers grants and subsidies received by agricultural holdings from public bodies, both national and EU. It also covers administrative information on greening payments.

GROUPS OF INFORMATION IN TABLE M

S   Subsidies

Grants and subsidies are defined by category of subsidy (S), financing and basic units. For each entry, the number of basic units (N) and the amount received (V) are to be recorded. There might be several records per category of subsidy as the basic units and/or financing origins might differ.
As a general rule, grants and subsidies registered in Table M correspond to the current accounting year regardless of when the payment is received (accounting year is equal to claim year). Investment subsidies and rural development payments other than payments to areas facing natural or other specific constraints constitute an exception to this general rule as registered amounts should refer to payments actually received during the accounting year (accounting year is equal to payment year).
AI   Administrative information

Certain obligations of Member States relating to good agricultural and environmental conditions of land (GAEC standards 2, 8 and 9) are defined by category of administrative information (AI). The number of basic units (N) and/or the type (T) are to be recorded for each entry, as specified in the table.
The number of basic units (N) corresponds to area concerned by GAEC standards are expressed in hectares.
The type (T) refers to the application of the GAEC at farm level and is to be selected from the list below:

                        J.RN. Reference number (to be recorded for column N only)
The reference number is the number of animals typically present on the farm at a given moment. It is used to calculate the standard output of the holding and its economic size. Contrary to the average number (AN), it enables to account for a period during which there is a lower number or no livestock on the holding for an exceptional period of time due to an exceptional break in the production cycle (e.g. disease outbreaks).

Number (column N)
Number of livestock should be indicated in heads or in number for beehives, expressed to two decimal places.
This information should not be provided for the other animals (category 900).
The data relating to the variable “J.RN.Reference number” may be provided in exceptional cases (e.g. disease on the holding, or culling for sanitary reason) as from the accounting year 2022. The submission is voluntary.’.
