               (2)
            
            
               Livestock unit coefficients are used instead of the actual number of animals in order to make comparable aggregations of different animal categories.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               The livestock unit coefficients should be based on a common set of values to ensure comparability throughout the Community with regard to the application of coverage and precision requirements.
            
         
               (4)

               (5)
            
            
               In the interests of comparability, the terms contained in the list of characteristics must be understood and applied in a uniform manner throughout the Community.
            
         
               (6)

                  Final production as referred to under this characteristic follows the definition of usable output in the agricultural economic accounts as set out in Regulation (EC) No 138/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4).

                     Direct sale to final consumers represents more than 50 % of the total sales of the holding
                      (2)
                  
                  Direct sale to final consumer means the sale by the holding of self-produced agricultural products, processed or not, directly to consumers for their own consumption.
               
            II.   LAND
      The total area of the holding consists of the utilised agricultural area (arable land, permanent grassland, permanent crops and kitchen gardens) and other land (unutilised agricultural land, wooded area and other land).

                     Arable land
                  
                  Land worked (ploughed or tilled) regularly, generally under a system of crop rotation.
                  Crop rotation is the practice of alternating annual crops grown on a specific field in a planned pattern or sequence in successive crop years so that crops of the same species are not grown without interruption on the same field. Normally the crops are changed annually, but they can also be multiannual. To distinguish arable land from permanent crops or permanent grassland, a threshold of five years is used. This means that if a plot is used for the same crop for five years or more, without in the meantime removing the preceding crop and establishing a new one, it is not considered arable land.

                              land sown exclusively for the production of green manure (green fallow).
                           
                        All areas of arable land maintained in good agricultural and environmental conditions as set out in Article 5 of the Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (5) or, where applicable, in the most recent legislation, regardless of whether they are part of the crop rotation or not, are included.

                     Farm labour force
                  
                  The farm labour force of the holding includes all persons having completed their compulsory education (having reached school-leaving age) who carried out farm work on the holding during the 12 months ending on the reference day of the survey.
                  Unless national legislation indicates the minimum age of full-time and part-time compulsory education, 15 years is to be taken as the conventional school-leaving age.
                  Sole holders who do not carry out farm work on the holding are recorded in the survey, but are not counted in the ‘Total farm labour force’.
                  All persons of retirement age who continue to work on the holding are included in the farm labour force.
                  Persons working on the holding but employed by a third party or under mutual-aid arrangements (e.g. labour supplied by agricultural contractors or cooperatives) are not included.
               
            
                   
               
               
                   
               
               
                  
                     Farm work
                  
                  Farm work is considered as every type of work on the holding which contributes to either (i) the activities as defined in Annex I to the Regulation (EC) No 1166/2008; or (ii) the maintenance of the means of production; or (iii) activities directly derived from these productive actions.
               
            
                   
               
               
                   
               
               
                  
                     The time spent for on farm work on the holding
                  
                  The time spent for on farm work on the holding is the working time actually devoted to farm work for the holding, excluding work in the households of the holder or manager.
               
            
                   
               
               
                   
               
               
                  
                     Annual work unit (AWU)
                  
                  The full-time equivalent employment, i.e. the total hours worked divided by the average annual hours worked in full-time jobs in the country.
                  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 hours is to be taken as the minimum figure (225 working days of eight hours per day).

                  Persons not regularly employed are the workers who did not work each week on the agricultural holding in the 12 months ending on the reference day of the survey for a reason other than those listed under non-family labour regularly employed.
                  Number of working days carried out by non-regular non-family labour force is any day of such length that the worker is paid the salary or any kind of remuneration (wages, profits or other payments including payment in kind) for a full day's work, during which there is performed work of the kind normally carried out by a full-time agricultural worker. Days of leave and sickness do not count as working days.
                  A full-time working day is the normal working day of regular workers employed on a full-time basis.

                  All types of farm work undertaken on the holding for the holding by persons who are not directly employed by the holding, but are self-employed or employed by third parties, e.g. contractors or cooperatives.
                  The number of hours worked must be converted into the equivalent number of days or weeks on a full-time basis.

                  Other gainful activity is every activity carried out for remuneration (salary, wages, profits or other payment, including payment in kind, according to service rendered) other than the farm work defined under Section V. (i).
                  The farm work carried out by the labour force of one agricultural holding for another agricultural holding is included.
                  The information is collected only on the holdings where the holder is a natural person (i.e. where the holder is also the manager). Legal persons are excluded.
                  Non-separable non-agricultural secondary gainful activities on the holding are excluded as they are included in farm work.

                     VI. (i) List of other gainful activities
                  
                  Other gainful activities of the holding comprise all activities other than farm work, directly related to the holding and having an economic impact on the holding.
                  ‘Activities directly related to the holding’ means activities where either the resources of the holding (area, buildings, machinery, etc.) or its products are used in the activity. If only the farm labour force (family and non-family) and no other resources of the holding are used, the workers are seen as working under two separate arrangements, and these other gainful activities are thus not seen as being directly related to the holding.
                  Non-agricultural as well as agricultural work for other holdings is included.
                  Gainful activities in this context mean active work; pure financial investments are therefore excluded. Renting out the land for diverse activities without being further involved in these activities is also excluded.
               
            
                  6.01.01
               
               
                   
               
               
                  
                     Tourism, accommodation and other leisure activities
                  
                  All activities in tourism, accommodation services, showing the holding to tourists or other groups, sport and recreation activities etc. where either land, buildings or other resources of the holding are used.
               
            
                  6.01.02
               
               
                   
               
               
                  
                     Handicraft
                  
                  Handicraft items either manufactured on the holding by the holder or the family members, or by non-family labour force, provided that they are also carrying out farm work, regardless of how the products are sold.
               
            
                  6.01.03
               
               
                   
               
               
                  
                     Processing of farm products
                  
                  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. This includes processing meat, making cheese, etc.
                  All processing of farm products belongs to this item unless the processing is regarded as a part of agricultural activity. Wine processing and olive oil production are therefore excluded unless the bought-in proportion of wine or olive oil is significant.

                     Cover crop or intermediate crop
                  
                  Arable land on which plants are sown specifically to reduce the loss of soil, nutrients and plant protection products during the winter or other periods when the land would otherwise be bare and susceptible to losses. The economic interest of these crops is low, and the main goal is soil and nutrient protection.
                  Normally they are ploughed in during spring before sowing another crop, and are not harvested or used for grazing.

                  Arable land that is cultivated with the same crop for three years or more consecutively and which is not part of a planned crop rotation.
                  Crop rotation is the practice of alternating annual crops grown on a specific field in a planned pattern or sequence in successive crop years so that crops of the same species are not grown without interruption on the same field. If the same crop is grown continuously, the term monoculture can be used to describe the phenomenon.

                  Other sources of irrigation water, not mentioned elsewhere. These might be strongly saline sources like the Atlantic or Mediterranean, in which case it is treated to reduce the salt concentration (desalinated) before use, or from brackish (low saline content) water sources like the Baltic Sea and certain rivers, in which case it is possible to use it directly, untreated. The water might also have undergone waste water treatment and is delivered to the user as reclaimed waste water.
