   of 7 March 2011
   on fixing the standard fee per farm return from the 2011 accounting year of the farm accountancy data network
   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 Community (1),
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1915/83 of 13 July 1983 on certain detailed implementing rules concerning the keeping of accounts for the purpose of determining the incomes of agricultural holdings (2), and in particular Article 5(3) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               Article 5(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1915/83 provides that a standard fee shall be paid by the Commission to the Member States for each duly completed farm return and forwarded to it within the period prescribed in Article 3 of that Regulation.
            
         
               (2)

The trend in costs and its effects on the cost of completing the farm return justify a revision of the fee.
