                                           establishing a Community typology for agricultural holdings

                                                                    (../…/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation  No [79/65/EEC of 15 June 1965] setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data  on  the  incomes
and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Economic Community[1], and in particular Articles 4 (4) and 7 (3) thereof,

Whereas:

                                            ê .

(1)   Commission Decision 85/377/EEC of 7 June 1985 establishing a  Community  typology  for  agricultural  holdings[2]  has  been  substantially
      amended several times[3]. In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Decision should be codified.

                                            ê 1994/376/EC recital 1 (adapted)

(2)   The Community typology is the basis for the classification of agricultural holdings both in the farm structure surveys and under  the  Farm
      Accountancy Data Network (FADN). It  is also the basis for calculating the European size units (ESU) and the thresholds used to delimit the
      field of observation and to draw up the plan for selecting the returning holdings included or to be included in the FADN.

                                            ê 85/377/EC recital 1 (adapted)

(3)   The Community typology of agricultural holdings is based on two factors, the type of farming and the economic size of  the  holding,  these
      two factors being determined on the basis of the standard gross margin (SGM).

                                            ê 85/377/EC recital 3 and recital 4 (adapted)

(4)   The standard gross margins are based on average values over a reference period.  Therefore,  they  should  regularly  be  updated  to  take
      account of economic trends so that the typology may continue meaningfully to be applied. A frequency as far as possible linked to the years
      in which farm structure surveys are carried out should be provided for. Such updating should be carried out on the  basis  of  the  average
      gross margins observed over a reference period of several years.

                                            ê 2003/369/EC recital 2 (adapted)

(5)   Commission Regulation (EEC) No [2237/77 of 23 September 1977] on the form of farm return to be used for the purpose of determining  incomes
      of agricultural holdings[4]  lays down the type of accountancy data to be given in the farm return.

                                            ê 2003/369/EC recital 3 (adapted) and 1999/725/EC recital 3

(6)   Council Regulation (EEC) No 571/88 of 29 February 1988  on  the  organisation  of  Community  surveys  on  the  structure  of  agricultural
      holdings[5], lists the characteristics to be surveyed in a series of surveys from 1988 to 2007 on the structure of agricultural holdings.

                                            ê 85/377/EEC recital 8 (adapted)

(7)   The ESU constitutes a basic unit expressed in terms of monetary value for a given reference period. This value  undergoes  changes  in  the
      course of time under the influence of changes in the various factors determining agro-economic  trends.  For  the  ESU  to  remain  totally
      meaningful in the context of the Community typology, its definitions should be regularly updated.

                                            ê 85/377/EEC recital 9 (adapted)

(8)   The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Community Committee  for  the  Farm  Accountancy  Data
      Network,

                                            ê 85/377/EEC

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

                                                                    CHAPTER I

                                                   Community typology for agricultural holdings

                                                                    Article 1

For the purpose of this Decision,  «Community  typology  for  agricultural  holdings»  (hereinafter  called  «typology»)  shall  mean  a  uniform
classification of holdings in the Community based on their type of farming and economic size, so arranged that  homogeneous  groups  of  holdings
can be assembled in a greater or lesser degree of aggregation.

The type of farming and the economic size of the holding shall be determined on the basis of the standard gross margin.

                                                                    Article 2

1. The typology shall be designed to meet in particular the information needs of the common agricultural policy.

2. The purpose of the typology shall be to supply an instrument making possible, at Community level:

     – (a) an analysis of the situation of holdings based on economic criteria;

     – (b) comparisons of the situation of holdings between

     –     (i) the various classes in the typology;

         – (ii) Member States or regions of the Member States;

         – (iii) different periods.

3. The applications of the typology shall principally comprise the presentation, by type of farming and by size class, of data collected  through
the Community farm structure surveys and the Community Farm Accountancy Data Network.

                                                                    CHAPTER II

                                                              Standard gross margin

                                                                    Article 3

For the purpose of this Decision, «standard gross margin» (SGM) shall mean the balance between the standard value of production and the  standard
value of certain specific costs as laid down in Annex I. This balance shall be determined for the  various  crop  and  livestock  characteristics
within each region.

                                                                    Article 4

The total standard gross margin of the holding shall correspond to the sum of the values obtained for each characteristic by multiplying the  SGM
per unit by the number of corresponding units.

                                                                    Article 5

The standard gross margins shall be determined using average basic data calculated over a reference  period  of  several  years.  They  shall  be
updated to take account of economic trends.

Annex I lays down the procedures for collecting the data, the method of calculation and the frequency for determining the SGM.

                                                                   CHAPTER III

                                                                 Type of farming

                                                                    Article 6

                                            ê 85/377/EEC (adapted)

For the purposes of this Decision the  «type  of  farming»  of  a  holding  shall  be  determined  by  the  relative  contribution  of  different
characteristics  to its total standard gross margin.

                                            ê 85/377/EEC

                                                                    Article 7

Depending on the amount of detail required, the types of farming shall be divided into:

     – (a)general types of farming,

     – (b)principal types of farming,

     – (c)particular types of farming,

     – (d)subdivisions of certain particular types of farming.

These subdivisions shall be optional for those Member States in which the number of holdings in this type of farming is small.

The classification of holdings by type of farming shall be as set out in Annex II.

                                                                    CHAPTER IV

                                                           Economic size of the holding

                                                                    Article 8

The economic size of the holding shall be determined on the basis of the total standard gross margin of the holding. It  shall  be  expressed  in
terms of European Size Units (ESU). This unit shall be defined in accordance with Part A of Annex III. The method  of  calculating  the  economic
size of the holding shall be as laid down in Part B of Annex III.

                                                                    Article 9

The economic size classes of holdings shall be as laid down in Part C of Annex III.

                                                                    CHAPTER V

                                                                General provisions

      Member of the Commission

                                            ê 85/377/EEC

                                                                     ANNEX I

                                                          STANDARD GROSS MARGINS (SGMs)

1.    DEFINITION OF AND PRINCIPLES FOR CALCULATING SGMs

                                            ê 85/377/EEC (adapted)

(a)   The gross margin of an agricultural characteristic  means the monetary value of gross production from which  corresponding  specific  costs
       are deducted.

                                            ê 85/377/EEC

      The standard gross margin (SGM) means the value of gross margin corresponding  to  the  average  situation  in  a  given  region  for  each
       agricultural characteristic.

(b)   Gross production is the sum of the value of the principal product(s) and of the secondary product(s).

      The values are calculated by multiplying production per unit (less any losses) by the farm-gate price, VAT not included.

      Gross production also includes subsidies linked to products, to area and/or to livestock.

(c)   In order to calculate SGMs the following specific costs are deducted from the gross production:

(1)   In the case of crop production

         – seeds and seedlings (purchased or produced on the farm),

         – fertilizers purchased,

         – crop protection products,

         – various specific costs including:

              – water for irrigation purposes,

              – heating,

              – drying,

              – specific marketing costs (e.g. grading, cleaning, packaging), and processing costs,

              – specific insurance costs,

              – other specific costs.

(2)   In the case of livestock production

         – livestock replacement costs;

         – feedingstuffs:

              – concentrated feedingstuffs (purchased or produced on the farm),

              – coarse fodder;

         – various specific costs including:

              – veterinary fees,

              – costs of natural service and artificial insemination,

              – costs relating to performance testing and the like,

              – specific marketing cost (e.g. grading, cleaning, packaging) and processing costs,

              – specific insurance costs,

              – other specific costs.

      The following are not included in the specific costs  to  be  deducted:  costs  of  labour,  machinery,  buildings,  fuel  and  lubricants,
       maintenance and depreciation for machinery and equipment, contract work. However, costs of contract work related to renewal and removal of
       permanent crops and to crop drying are deducted.

      The specific costs are determined on the basis of the delivered-to-farm prices, VAT  not  included,  minus  any  subsidies  linked  to  the
       components of these costs.

(d)   Production period

      The SGMs correspond to a production period of 12 months (calender year or agricultural production year).

      For crop products and livestock products for which the period of production is less than or exceeds 12  months,  an  SGM  corresponding  to
       growth or production in 12 months is calculated.

(e)   Basic data and reference period

      The SGMs are determined using the factors mentioned in points (b) and (c) above. To this end, the basic data are collected  in  the  Member
       States from farm accounts or specific surveys, or compiled from appropriate  calculations  for  a  reference  period  which  covers  three
       successive calendar years or agricultural production years. The reference period is the same for all Member States and  is  fixed  by  the
       Commission, in consultation with them.

(f)   Units

(1)   Physical units:

                                            ê 85/377/EEC (adapted)

a)    The SGMs for crop characteristics are determined on the basis of area expressed in hectares.

      for mushrooms, however, the SGMs are determined on the basis of gross production and specific costs for all the annual successive  harvests
       and are expressed per 100 m2 of area under crops. For their use in the context of the Farm Accountancy Data Network the  SGMs,  determined
       in this way, are divided by the number of annual successive harvests, such number being communicated by the Member States.

b)    The SGMs relating to livestock characteristics  are determined by head, except for poultry, for which they are determined in terms  of  100
       head, and for bees, for which they are determined by hive.

                                            ê 2003/369/EC Art. 1 and Annex pt. 1

(2)   Monetary units and rounding

      The basic data for determining the SGMs and the calculated SGMs are established in euro. For the Member  States  not  taking  part  in  the
       Economic and Monetary Union, the SGMs are converted into euro using the average exchange rates for the  reference  period  as  defined  in
       point 1(e) of this Annex. These rates are communicated by the Commission to these Member States.

      The SGMs may be rounded to the nearest EUR 5 where appropriate.

                                            ê 85/377/EEC (adapted)

2.    BREAKDOWN OF SGMs

(a)   By crop and livestock characteristics

(1)   The SGMs are determined for all the agricultural characteristics  corresponding to the headings of the Community farm structure surveys  in
       the manner laid down in those surveys.

                                            ê 85/377/EEC

(2)   In the case of Member States which supply details additional to the survey headings, the SGMs  corresponding  to  those  details  are  also
       established along the same lines.

(b)   Geographical breakdown

         – The SGMs are determined at least on the basis of geographical units which are compatible with  those  used  for  the  Community  farm
           structure surveys and for the Farm Accountancy Data Network.

                                            ê 85/377/EEC (adapted)

         – No SGM is determined for characteristics  which are not engaged in the region concerned.

                                            ê 85/377/EEC

         – In the case of geographical units for which the Member States forward information indicating whether a holding is situated in a less-
           favoured or mountain area, separate SGMs are supplied for the less-favoured or  mountain  areas  and  for  the  other  areas  of  the
           geographical unit whenever it is appropriate and important that such a distinction should be made.

3.    COLLECTION OF DATA AND FREQUENCY FOR DETERMINING SGMs

(a)   At least every 10 years the basic data for determining SGMs are renewed on the basis of observations drawn from farm accounts  or  specific
       surveys, or compiled from appropriate calculations.

(b)   Within the 10-year period between two successive renewals, as provided for under (a), the SGMs are normally updated every two  years.  Such
       updating is effected:

         – either by renewing the basic data in a manner similar to that specified under (a),

         – or by using a method of calculation by which the SGM may be updated. The principles applying to  such  a  method  are  laid  down  at
           Community level.

(c)   The reference periods for data renewal and for updating calculations, as provided under (a) and (b) above, are  the  same  for  all  Member
       States and are fixed by the Commission in consultation with them.

      These reference periods will as far as possible be linked with the dates of Community surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings.

4.    EXECUTION

                                            ê 85/377/EEC (adapted)

      The Member States are responsible, in accordance with the provisions of this Annex, for collecting the basic data  needed  for  calculating
       the SGMs and for calculating them, for converting them into euro  and for collecting the data required for applying the  updating  method,
       if appropriate.

                                            ê 85/377/EEC

      They will forward available data and results to the Commission in a standard format. This format will be established by the  Commission  in
       consultation with the Member States.

5.    TREATMENT OF SPECIAL CASES

                                            ê 85/377/EEC (adapted)

      The following special rules are laid down for the calculation of SGMs for certain types of characteristic :

                                            ê 85/377/EEC

(a)   Grazing livestock and fodder crops

1.    General rule

      The method of applying the SGMs for  grazing  stock  and  fodder  crops  depends  on  the  ratio  existing  between  these  two  groups  of
       characteristics on the holding. The variable costs of fodder crops are deducted when calculating  the  SGMs  of  grazing  livestock.  When
       applying the Community typology the SGMs of fodder crops are therefore as a general rule treated as being equal to zero.

2.    No grazing livestock

(i)   Fodder crops without grazing livestock

      If there is no grazing livestock on the holding, the fodder crops normally in commercial production are treated in the same  way  as  other
       crops and the corresponding SGMs are applied to them.

(ii)  Permanent pasture and meadows not occupied by grazing livestock

      In order to make it possible to classify holdings, a major part of whose area consists of permanent pasture or meadows  which  are  not  in
       commercial production and which at the time of the survey are not occupied by grazing livestock, nominal SGMs, on at flat-rate basis,  may
       be fixed for this characteristic in regions where such cases occur frequently, and applied to these holdings.

3.    Unbalanced fodder situation

      If there is a deficit or surplus of fodder on the holding, as defined in (i) below, special provisions are applied:

         – in the case of a fodder deficit, special SGMs for grazing stock are applied in the manner described in (ii) below,

         – in the case of a fodder surplus, the SGMs for fodder crops are applied in the manner described in (iii) below.

           (i)   For each region a bracket is fixed outside which the holding is considered as having a surplus or deficit of fodder.

            There is a fodder deficit on a holding if the ratio R = SGM grazing stock/SGM fodder crops exceeds a limit RD.  There  is  a  fodder
                surplus if that ratio is below a limit RS.

           (ii)  In the case of a fodder deficit (R > RD), all the fodder crops are considered as having an SGM equal to zero. For all types  of
                grazing stock, one part (including, where necessary, fractions of animals) equal to ((RD)/(R)) is considered as falling under the
                «normal» system, in which case the normal SGMs are applied; the remaining part ((R − RD)/(R)) is considered as being affected  by
                the fodder deficit and specially fixed SGMs for grazing stock are applied.

           (iii) In the case of a fodder surplus (R < RS), a valuation of the surplus part of the area of each fodder crop is made, applying the
                corresponding SGM to this part. The surplus part corresponds, as a rule, to ((RS − R)/(RS)). In  specific  cases,  however,  this
                surplus part can be defined in relation to a valuation threshold RV higher than RS. In the case of a fodder surplus,  the  normal
                SGM is applied to each grazing livestock heading.

           (iv)  The Member States establish the limits RD and RS and,  if  appropriate,  RV  for  each  region  and  communicate  them  to  the
                Commission.

           (v)   –     The fodder crops to which the special provisions apply are the following:

                  D12: forage roots and tubers,

                  D18: forage plants,

                  F01: pasture and meadows, excluding rough grazing,

                  F02: rough grazing.

                  – The grazing livestock to which the special provisions apply are the following:

                  JO1: equidae,

                  JO2 to JO8: cattle,

                  JO9: sheep,

                  J10: goats.

(b)   Fallow land

      In order to make it possible to classify holdings which at the time of the survey have only fallow  land,  nominal  SGMs,  on  a  flat-rate
       basis, may be fixed for this characteristic in regions where such cases occur frequently, and applied to these holdings.

(c)   Kitchen gardens

      Since the produce of kitchen gardens is not normally intended for sale, the SGMs are generally regarded as  equal  to  zero.  However,  for
       regions where kitchen gardens which make an appreciable contribution to the holding's gross production are common, SGMs may be  determined
       by applying, by analogy, the rules and methods set out in this Annex.

(d)   Piglets

      SGMs relating to piglets are taken into account when calculating the total SGM of the holding only when there are no breeding sows  on  the
       holding.

B. DEFINITION OF TYPES

The types of farming are defined by two features:

                                            ê 2003/369/EC Art. 1 and Annex pt. 2(a) (i) (adapted)

(a)   The nature of the characteristics  concerned

      These characteristics  refer to the list of characteristics surveyed in the 2003, 2005 and 2007 surveys on the  structure  of  agricultural
       holdings: they are indicated by using the code in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 571/88 or by a code regrouping several  of  those
       characteristics as set out in Annex II, part C, of this Regulation[6].

                                            ê 85/377/EEC

(b)   The thresholds determining the class limits

      Unless otherwise indicated, these thresholds are expressed as fractions of the total SGM of the holding.

A.    DEFINITION OF THE EUROPEAN SIZE UNIT (ESU)

1.    The European size unit is based on the value of 1 000  Euro  of total standard gross  margin  of  the  holding  for  the  «1980»  reference
       period.

2.    è1For subsequent reference periods for renewing SGMs, the value of EUR  1 000 shall be multiplied  by  coefficients  to  take  account,  in
       monetary terms, of global agro-economic trends in the Community as a whole.

      These coefficients shall be calculated by the Commission and fixed after consultation with the Member States. Their  application  shall  be
       decided by the competent Commission departments after the competent departments in the Member States have been consulted. ç

B.    ECONOMIC SIZE OF THE HOLDING

      The economic size of a holding is obtained by dividing the total standard gross margin of the holding by the number of euros  on the  basis
       of which the ESU has been determined for the corresponding reference period in accordance with part A of this Annex.

C.    ECONOMIC SIZE CLASSES OF HOLDINGS

      Holdings are classified by size classes, the limits of which are set out below.

|VIII                  |from 40 to less than 100 ESU                                                                  |

      The rules laid down for the application in the field of the farm accountancy  data  network  and  the  Community  surveys  of  agricultural
       holdings may provide that size classes III and IV, V and VI, and IX and X above are grouped together.

      The Member States which, in implementation of Article 4(1) of Council Regulation No 79/65/EEC, set a threshold of economic size of  holding
       for the field of survey of the farm accountancy data network which does not coincide with the limits of the size classes as  shown  above,
       are to subdivide these into sub-classes, the limits of which correspond to the thresholds fixed.
