                 REPRESENTATION OF ACCOUNTANCY DATA ON PUNCHED CARDS
      1 . Punched cards bearing accountancy data should be set out as follows :
           — columns 1 to 9 for the reference number of the holding, the division number as shown in
               Annex III to Council Regulation No 91/66/EEC1 being entered in columns 1 and 2 ;
           — columns 10 and 11 for the card code :
           — the remaining columns will be for the accountancy data ;
           — on card 01 , columns 12 to 14 will be for the type of farming class'number, column 15 for
               the area class number, column 16 for the labour class number and column 17 for the
               type of occupancy class number.
           The items of the farm return form to which the various sections of each card relate are indicated
           as follows :
           — capital letters refer to the Tables in the form (cf. Annex I);
           — figures before the oblique sign (/) refer to heading code numbers2 ;
           — figures after the oblique sign (/) refer to column numbers.
     2. Entries where a cross ( X ) is provided for should be transcribed by means of the following
           code :
           — Table D (columns 1 , 2 , 4 and 5): 1 ;
           — Table C (column 2): number of the relevant heading ;
           — Table L, entry 27 : 'Yes': 1 ; 'No': 0.
     3 . Where a product is cropped in a number of different ways (main crop, combined crop, follow­
           on crop), there should be a separate card for that product in respect of each type of cropping.
           The first of such cards will give, in addition to the code number and the figure for the relevant
           crop area , the data entered in columns 4 to 16 of Table E ; the other card (or cards) will show
           only the code number and the relevant crop area.
     4. For horticultural products , there will be one card prepared on which both the code number
           (2 0 0 . .) and the basic horticultural area will be entered, as well as separate cards
          for each individual product.
           The latter cards will contain, in addition to the relevant code number, the cropped area and
          the data entered in columns 4 to 16 of Table E.
     5. Where a holding processes the whole of its production of one or more crops (e.g. wine, olive
          oil, etc.), each such crop will have a card showing only the code number of the unprocessed
          product and the relevant crop area ; there will be a separate card for the processed product
          containing the code number (see Annex V) and the data shown in columns 4 to 16 of Table E.
          Where a holding processes only a part of its production of one or more crops (e.g. grapes
          and wine, olive oil , etc.), each such crop will have a card showing the code number
          of the unprocessed product, the total area for the crop and the data in respect of the unpro­
          cessed product which appear in columns 4 to 16 of Table E.
          There will be a separate card for the processed product containing the code number of the
          product (see Annex V) and the relevant data shown in columns 4 to 16 of Table E3.
     6. Punched cards should be forwarded together with a list giving :
          — the numbers of the returning holdings whose data appear on the punched cards ;
          — for each holding, the information shown in Table K.
    7. Punched cards must be prepared in accordance with the instruction sheet overleaf ; where
          the figures in an entry do not take up all the spaces allocated they should be justified to the
          right and the unfilled spaces left blank.

           by the number of the relevant heading .

        following IBM standards :
        — for 7-track tapes : 200, 566 or 800 bpi,
        — for'9-track tapes : 800 or 1600 bpi .
