      COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 868/2008
   of 3 September 2008
   on the farm return to be used for determining the incomes of agricultural holdings and analysing the business operation of such holdings
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Regulation No 79/65/EEC of the Council 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 6(2), 7(3) and 12(2) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               The type, definition and presentation of the accountancy data referred to in Article 7 of Regulation No 79/65/EEC and collected by means of the farm return drawn up for the purpose of reliably determining the incomes of agricultural holdings must be identical, irrespective of the returning holdings surveyed. For reasons of simplification and data readability, provision should also be made for that individual return to include additional particulars and details meeting the specific requirements of an analysis of the business operation of the agricultural holdings selected under Article 11 of that Regulation. In that case, the farm return should also be considered as a special farm return, as referred to in Article 12(1).
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               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 (2) lays down rules on the collection of accountancy data.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               The data collected by means of the farm return should take account of the experience acquired since the network was set up and of developments in the common agricultural policy and should comply with the definitions laid down in the relevant regulations, and in particular Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs (3), Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers (4), Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 of 20 September 2005 on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) (5), Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 of 11 July 2006 laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 (6) as regards areas eligible for aid under the Structural Funds, and Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products as regards certain products in this sector (Single CMO Regulation) (7).
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               Regulation (EEC) No 2237/77 should therefore be adapted to take account of developments in the common agricultural policy, in the type of information required for analysing data and in information communication techniques since that Regulation was adopted. For reasons of clarity and rationality, that Regulation should be replaced.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               Duly completed farm returns should be sent to the Commission by the liaison agency appointed by each Member State, in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation No 79/65/EEC. To that end, provision should be made for the liaison agency to send the information concerned direct to the Commission via the computerised system set up by the Commission and for that system to allow the requisite information to be exchanged electronically on the basis of the models made available to the liaison agency via that system. Provision should also be made for the Commission to inform Member States of the general conditions for implementing the computerised system via the Community Committee on the farm accountancy data network.
            
         
               (6)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Community Committee for the farm accountancy data network,

      ANNEX II
      DEFINITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS IN RESPECT OF THE FARM RETURN
      I.   GENERAL DEFINITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
      (a)   The data on the farm return should relate to a single agricultural holding and to a single accounting year of 12 consecutive months.
      (b)   Data in the farm return concern exclusively the agricultural holding. These data refer to activities of the holding itself and if appropriate to both forestry and tourism connected with the farm. Nothing connected with any non-farming activities of the holder or of his family, or with any pension, inheritance, private bank accounts, property external to the agricultural holding, personal taxation, private insurance, etc., is to be taken into account in preparing the farm returns.
      When the holding’s production resources (paid or unpaid labour, machinery or equipment) are used to increase fixed assets (construction or major repairs of machinery, construction, major repairs or even demolition of buildings, planting or felling of fruit trees), the corresponding costs — or an estimate thereof — are not to be included in the working costs of the holding. In any case, labour costs and hours worked to produce fixed assets are to be excluded from both costs and data on labour. In exceptional cases, if certain costs (other than labour costs) used to produce fixed assets cannot be calculated separately (e.g. use of the holding’s tractor) and if these expenses are then included under costs, an estimate of all these costs used to produce fixed assets is to be entered in heading 181 (Other products and receipts).
      In any case, the value of the fixed assets produced is to be assessed on the basis of their cost (including the value of the paid and/or unpaid labour) and must be added to the value of the fixed assets given under headings 94 to 101.
      (c)   Data given in a farm return are to be taken from accounts consisting of entries made systematically and regularly throughout the accounting year.
      (d)   The accountancy data are expressed in money terms:
      
                  —
               
               
                  either without VAT,
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  or with VAT in the circumstances mentioned below (see headings 107 to 111).
               
            (e)   The accountancy data in money terms are expressed without grants and subsidies. Grants and subsidies are understood to be all forms of direct aid from public funds which have resulted in a specific receipt (see headings 112 to 118).
      (f)   Concerning grants and subsidies:
      
                  —
               
               
                  in Table G the grants and subsidies to be entered are those received during the accounting year, including those received for investments made in previous accounting years,
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  in Ttable J are recorded:
                  
                              —
                           
                           
                              all direct payments concerning production, areas or livestock are related to the current accounting year, even if not yet received,
                           
                        
                              —
                           
                           
                              for rural development payments, only the amounts received during the accounting year,
                           
                        
            
                  —
               
               
                  in Table M, the direct payments recorded are related to areas or livestock present during the current accounting year, even if not yet received.
               
            (g)   The data in a farm return should be given in the following units and with the following degrees of accuracy:
      
                  —
               
               
                  values: values in euro or in national monetary units without decimal points. However, for national currencies where the unit represents a low relative value compared to the euro, it may be agreed between the liaison agency of the Member State in question and the staff of the Commission which manages the Farm Accountancy Data Network, to express the values in hundreds or thousands of national currency units,
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  physical quantities: in quintals (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, except in the case of mushrooms which will be expressed in square metres of total cropped area,
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  average livestock numbers: to one decimal place, 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.
               
            Fixed positions (see Tables A to J of Annex I) where nothing is to be indicated should be filled in with zeros.
      For the products entered in Table K, transactions relating to quotas and other prescribed rights entered in Table L, direct payments entered in Table M and details of purchases and sales of livestock entered in Table N, zeros should be filled in for the positions where there is nothing to be indicated.
      II.   DEFINITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS IN RESPECT OF INDIVIDUAL ITEMS IN THE FARM RETURN
      A.   GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE HOLDING
      1.   Holding number
      A number is assigned to each returning holding when it is selected for the first time. The holding retains this number permanently for the duration of its inclusion in the accountancy network. A number once assigned is never allotted to another holding.
      However, where the holding undergoes a fundamental change, and in particular where this change is the result of a subdivision into two separate holdings or of a merger with another holding, it may be considered as a new holding. In this case a new number is to be assigned to it. A change in the type of farming practised on the holding does not call for a new number. Where confusion with any other returning holding might result from the holding keeping the number it has (e.g. when new regional subdivisions are created), the number should be changed. A table showing the equivalence of old and new numbers is then to be forwarded to the Commission.
      The holding number comprises three groups of indications as follows:
      Serial No 1 — Division: a code number is to be given, corresponding to the code set in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82 (1).
      Serial No 2 — Subdivision: a code number is to be given.
      The subdivisions chosen should be based on the common system of classification of the regions, referred to as the nomenclature of territorial statistical units (NUTS) established by the Statistical Office of the European Communities in cooperation with the national institutes for statistics.
      In any case, the Member State concerned will transmit to the Commission a table indicating, for each subdivision code used, the corresponding NUTS regions, as well as the corresponding region for which specific values of standard gross margin are calculated.
      Serial No 3 — Serial number of the holding. 
      2.   Particulars concerning computer records
      The data corresponding to the first five serial numbers constitute the label of a holding. They are repeated at the top of each record. The sixth datum of each holding gives the number of indivisible 10-data groups.
      3.   Organisational form of the holding

            9.   Other particulars concerning the holding
      Serial No 40 — Irrigated UAA Utilised agricultural area other than under glass, actually irrigated during the year with fixed or movable equipment, whatever the process used (sprinklers, flooding).
      Serial No 41 — Altitude The altitude should be indicated by the corresponding code number:
      1.= the major part of the holding is located at < 300 m;
      2.= the major part of the holding is located at 300 to 600 m;
      3.= the major part of the holding is located at > 600 m;

      Serial No 42 — Grazing on mountain or other pasture not included in the UAA: Number (whole) of livestock unit (LSU) grazing days by farm animals on land not included in the UAA.
      The LSU grazing day is a unit equivalent to one day’s grazing by one dairy cow, or one bovine animal or one horse more than two years old. The grazing days for cattle and horses less than two years old, goats and sheep are converted into grazing days per LSU by applying the coefficients 0,5, 0,2 and 0,15 respectively.

      ‘Under shelter’ means greenhouses, permanent frames and accessible tunnels but does not include not accessible plastic tunnels, cloches or any other portable frame (see the definition for crops 138, 141 and 156 in Table K).
      ‘Total’ area means the total land surface area ‘under shelter’, whatever its use (hence including paths). For ‘multi-storey’ greenhouses the surface area is counted only once.
      Serial No 44 — Structural Funds Area: an indication is to be given of whether the majority of the utilised agricultural area of the holding is situated in an area covered by Articles 5, 6, or 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006. The following code numbers are to be used:

      7.= the majority of the utilised agricultural area of the holding is situated in a Regional competitiveness and employment objective area, within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006, in particular Article 6 thereof;
      8.= the majority of the utilised agricultural area of the holding is situated in an area eligible for transitional support, within the meaning of Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006.
      Serial No 45 — Areas with environmental restrictions: an indication is to be given of whether the majority of the utilised agricultural area of the holding is situated in an area covered by Article 38 of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005. The following code numbers are to be used:
      1.= the majority of the utilised agricultural area of the holding is not situated in an area eligible for Natura 2000 payments or payments linked to Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), within the meaning of Article 38 of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005;
      2.= the majority of the utilised agricultural area of the holding is situated in an area eligible for Natura 2000 payments or payments linked to Directive 2000/60/EC, within the meaning of Article 38 of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005.
      B.   TYPE OF OCCUPANCY OF UAA
      Land of holdings held in common by two or more partners should be recorded as owner-occupied, rented or sharecropped according to the arrangement in force between the partners.
      10.   UAA in owner occupation
      Utilised agricultural area (arable land, grassland and permanent pasture, permanent crops) of which the farmer is the owner, tenant for life or leaseholder and/or UAA held on similar terms. Includes land leased to others ready for sowing (heading 149).
      11.   Rented UAA
      Utilised agricultural area (arable land, grassland and permanent pasture, permanent crops) worked by a person other than the owner, tenant for life or leaseholder, holding a tenancy on the said area (the rent is payable in cash and/or in kind; being generally fixed in advance, it does not normally vary with the farming results) and/or utilised agricultural area held on similar terms of tenure.
      Rented area does not include land the harvest of which is bought as a standing crop. The sums paid for the purchase of standing crops should be given in Table F under headings 65 to 67 (purchased feedingstuffs) in the case of grassland or fodder crops and under heading 76 (other specific crop costs) in the case of marketable crops (products which are usually marketed). Marketable crops bought standing should be given without specifying the area in question (see instructions concerning area, column 4, Table K).
      Land rented for less than one year on an occasional basis and the production thereof is treated in a similar way as land the harvest of which is bought as a standing crop.
      12.   UAA in sharecropping
      Utilised agricultural area (arable land, grassland and permanent pasture, permanent crops) farmed jointly by the grantor and the sharecropper on the basis of a sharecropping agreement and/or utilised agricultural area farmed on similar terms.
      C.   LABOUR
      By labour is meant all persons who have been engaged on work on the farm during the accounting year (see hereafter). However, this does not include persons who have done this work on behalf of another person or undertaking (agricultural contract work, of which the costs appear in Table F under heading 60).
      In the case of mutual assistance between holdings, where this assistance consists of an exchange of work, the assistance received being equivalent in principle to the assistance given, the time worked by the farm labour and any related wages are specified in the farm return.
      Sometimes assistance received is offset by assistance of another kind (e.g. aid received in the form of work is offset by the supply of machinery). When the exchange of services is on a limited scale, nothing is indicated in the farm return (in the above example, the aid received is not shown under labour; machinery costs, however, include the costs of making the equipment available). In exceptional cases, when the exchange of services is on a large scale, the procedure is one of the following:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  assistance received in the form of work is offset by a service of another kind (e.g. the supply of machinery): working time received is recorded as paid farm work (headings 20 or 21, depending on whether the labour is employed on the farm on a regular basis or otherwise); the value of the assistance given is recorded both as production under the corresponding heading (in this example, heading 177 ‘Contract work for others, including hiring out of equipment’) and as a cost (under heading 59 ‘Wages and social security’);
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  assistance given in the form of work is offset by services of a different kind (e.g. the supply of machinery): in this situation the working time provided and any related wages are left out of consideration; the value of the service received is recorded as an input under the corresponding heading (in this example, heading 60 ‘Contract work and machinery hire’).
               
            The following categories of labour are to be distinguished:
      A.   Regular unpaid labour
      
      Unpaid labour or labour which receives less remuneration (in cash or in kind) than the amount normally paid for the services rendered (such payment should not appear in farm costs) and which during the accounting year participated (outside normal holidays) for at least a whole day of each week.
      A person employed regularly but who, for special reasons, has been engaged on the farm only for a limited period in the accounting year is nevertheless entered (for the number of hours actually worked) as regular labour.
      The following cases or similar ones may arise:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  special production conditions on the farm for which labour is not required throughout the year: e.g. olive or vine holdings, and farms specialising in the seasonal fattening of animals or in the production of fruit and vegetables in the open;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  absence from work other than for normal holidays, e.g. military service, illness, accident, maternity, extended leave, etc.;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  joining or leaving the holding;
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  total cessation of work on the holding due to accidental causes (flood, fire, etc.).
               
            The following are subcategories:
      13.   Holder/manager
      Person who assumes economic and legal responsibility for the holding and undertakes its day-to-day management. In the case of sharecropping, the sharecropper is indicated as holder/manager.
      14.   Holder/not manager
      Person who assumes economic and legal responsibility for the holding without undertaking its day-to-day management.
      15.   Manager/not holder
      Person who undertakes day-to-day management of the holding without assumption of economic and legal responsibility for it.
      16.   Spouse(s) of holder(s)
      
      17.   Other regular unpaid labour
      Regular unpaid labour not included in the preceding headings. Includes also foreman and submanagers not responsible for management of the whole farm.
      B.18.   Casual and seasonal unpaid labour
      
      Unpaid labour which has not worked regularly on the holding during the accounting year is aggregated under this heading.
      C.   Regular paid labour
      
      Labour paid (in cash and/or in kind) on the normal scale for services rendered and which during the accounting year (excluding normal holidays) worked for at least one whole day per week for the holding.
      The following subcategories are to be shown:
      19.   Farm manager
      Salaried person responsible for the day-to-day management of the holding.
      20.   Others
      All regular paid labour (excepting the holding’s salaried manager) is aggregated under this heading. Includes also foreman and submanagers not responsible for management of the whole farm.
      D.21.   Casual and seasonal paid labour
      
      Paid labour which did not regularly work on the holding during the accounting year (including piece workers) is aggregated under this heading.
      COLUMNS IN TABLE C
      Functions performed (code) (column 1, positions 51, 55, 59, 63 and 67)
      
      The function performed is indicated by a code number, i.e.:
      
                  1.
               
               
                  =
               
               
                  holder/manager;
               
            
                  2.
               
               
                  =
               
               
                  holder/not manager;
               
            
                  3.
               
               
                  =
               
               
                  manager/not holder.
               
            When the function is performed by several persons (e.g. two brothers, father and son, etc.) each one is recorded in decreasing order of responsibility; in the event of equal responsibility, decreasing order of age is used. Thus the data concerning the person assuming the greatest responsibility are recorded in positions 51 to 54; those concerning the person next in responsibility in positions 55 to 58, etc.
      Number of persons (column 1, positions 71 and 74)
      
      The number of spouses and the number of persons in the category ‘Other regular unpaid labour’ should be indicated. Where there are several holders, there may be more than one spouse.
      Year of birth (column 2)
      
      The year of birth should be given only for the holder(s) and/or manager(s) (categories 13 to 15 and 19) using the last two figures of the year.
      Total work force: number of annual units (column 3)
      
      Regularly employed work force is converted into annual work units. One annual work unit is equivalent to one person working full-time on the holding. One person cannot exceed one work unit equivalent, even if his actual working time exceeds the norm for the region and type of holding. A person who does not work the whole year on the holding represents a fraction of an ‘annual unit’. The ‘annual work unit’ of each such person is obtained by dividing his actual annual working time by the normal annual working time of a full-time worker in the region under consideration and on the same type of holding.
      In the case of less able workers the annual work unit equivalent should be reduced in proportion to their capacities.
      Time worked (column 4)
      
      Time worked should be indicated in hours. It should refer to the time actually devoted to the work of the holding. In the case of less able workers the time worked should be reduced in proportion to their capacities.
      The time worked by piecework labour is estimated by dividing the total amount paid for the work by the hourly wage of a worker employed on a time basis.
      Work on an agricultural holding
      Work on the holding includes all the work of organisation, supervision and execution, both manual and administrative, done in connection with the normal running of the holding, e.g.:

                              —
                           
                           
                              work concerning tourism (maintenance of camping, sport or recreation grounds, riding facilities, letting of cottages, etc.) where these are ancillary to and overlap with the work of the holding to such an extent that it is in practice impossible to dissociate the tourism activities from the normal agricultural work of the holding (in this case the earnings and inputs relating to tourism are included under products (see heading 179) and farm inputs respectively),
                           
                        
                              —
                           
                           
                              contract work for others where this is occasional and done with farm equipment (payment for this is included in the production of the holding).
                           
                        
            The following are not included in the work of the holding:

            Average number (column 5)
      
      The average number is expressed to one decimal place, except for poultry and rabbits where whole numbers should be given. Each unit refers to the presence of one animal on the holding for one year. Animals are counted in proportion to the length of time they have been on the holding during the year.
      The average number is determined either by means of periodical inventories or by the recording of arrivals and departures. It includes all animals present on the holding, also animals raised or fattened under contract (animals not belonging to the holding, which are raised or fattened there in such a manner that the activity merely constitutes a service rendered by the holder, who does not assume the financial risk normally associated with the rearing or fattening of such animals) and animals taken or given into agistment for the period of the year during which they are present on the holding.
      E.   LIVESTOCK PURCHASES AND SALES

      Livestock sales (column 2)
      
      Total livestock sales during the accounting year. The related grants and subsidies are not included in the sales total, but are specified under heading 112 (see instructions regarding this heading).
      When the marketing costs, if any, are known they are not deducted from the sales total, but are given under heading 71 (Other specific livestock costs).
      Farmhouse consumption and benefits in kind (column 3)
      
      Value of the livestock consumed by the farm household or used for benefits in kind during the accounting year, assessed at the farm gate price.
      F.   COSTS
      Farm costs (in cash and in kind) relate to the ‘consumption’ of productive resources (including farm use) corresponding to the output of the farm during the accounting year or to the ‘consumption’ of those resources during the accounting year. When certain expenditure relates partly to private use and partly to farm costs (e.g. electricity, water, heating fuels and engine fuels, etc.) only the latter part should be included in the farm return. The proportion of the expenditure on private cars corresponding to their use for farm purposes should also be included.
      In calculating costs relating to the output of the accounting year the purchases and farm use during the year should be adjusted for valuation changes (including changes in cultivations). For each item the total of costs paid for and the value of the farm use should be shown separately.
      Where the costs indicated are for the total ‘consumption’ of inputs during the accounting year but do not correspond to production during that year, changes in stocks of inputs (including costs accruing to growing crops) should be indicated under heading 102 ‘circulating capital’.
      The costs relating to ‘consumption’ of capital assets are represented by depreciation, hence expenditure on acquisition of capital assets should not be treated as a farm cost. For instructions on depreciation see headings 94 to 103.
      Expenditure on cost items compensated during the accounting year or later (e.g. repairs to a tractor as a result of an accident covered by an insurance policy or by a third party liability) should not be entered as farm costs, and the corresponding receipts should not be included in the farm’s accounts.
      Receipts from resale of purchased supplies are to be deducted from corresponding inputs.
      Grants and subsidies related to costs are not deducted from the corresponding cost items but are entered under heading 114 (see instructions regarding that heading). Investment grants and subsidies are shown under headings 94 to 103.
      Costs also include any expenditure on purchases relating to each cost item.
      Costs are classified as follows:
      59.   Wages and social security costs for paid labour
      This item includes the following:
      
                  —
               
               
                  salaries and wages actually paid in cash to wage earners irrespective of the basis of remuneration (piecework or by the hour), with deduction of any social allowances paid to the holder as employer to offset the payment of a salary which does not correspond to actual work done (e.g. absence from work due to an accident, vocational training, etc.),
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  salaries and wages in kind (e.g. lodging, board, housing, farm produce, etc.),
               
            
                  —

                  —
               
               
                  other expenditure associated with labour (recruitment expenses),
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  social security payments incumbent upon the employer and those paid by him on behalf of and instead of the employee,
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  occupational accident insurance.
               
            The holder’s personal social security charges and insurance and those of unpaid labour should not be regarded as farm costs.
      The amounts received by unpaid workers (which by definition are lower than a normal wage — see definition of unpaid labour) should not appear in the farm return.
      Allowances (in cash or in kind) paid to retired paid workers no longer employed on the holding should not be entered under this item but under the heading ‘Other farming overheads’.
      60.   Contract work and machinery hire
      This item includes the following:
      
                  —
               
               
                  total expenditure in respect of work on the farm carried out by agricultural contractors. This generally includes the cost of the use of equipment (including fuel) and the work. In case the cost of the materials employed other than fuel (i.e. crop protection products, fertilisers and seeds) is also included in the contract, the cost of these materials should be excluded. This amount (if necessary by estimation) should be entered under the corresponding cost item (e.g. pesticides to be recorded under heading 75 ‘Crop protection products’),
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  cost of hiring machines operated by the farm’s labour. The fuel costs related to the use of the rented machinery, should be recorded under heading 62 ‘Motor fuels and lubricants’,
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  cost of leasing machines operated by the farm’s labour. The fuel and maintenance costs of leased machines should be recorded under the relevant headings (headings 61 ‘Current upkeep of machinery and equipment’ and 62 ‘Motor fuels and lubricants’).
               
            61.   Current upkeep of machinery and equipment
      Cost of upkeep of machinery and equipment and of minor repairs not affecting the market value of the appliances (payment of mechanic, cost of replacement parts, etc.).
      This code number includes purchases of minor equipment, the cost of saddlery and horse shoeing, the purchase of tyres, forcing frames, protective clothing for unsanitary work, detergents for the cleaning of equipment in general, and the proportion of the cost of private cars corresponding to their use for farm purposes (see also heading 63). Detergents used for cleaning livestock equipment (e.g. milking machines) are entered under heading 71 ‘Other specific livestock costs’.
      Major repairs which increase the value of equipment, compared with its value before repairs, are not included under this heading (see also instructions on depreciation in Table G).
      62.   Motor fuels and lubricants
      This heading also includes the proportion of fuel and lubricant costs for private cars corresponding to their use for farm purposes (see also heading 63 below).
      Where petroleum products are employed both as motor fuels and as heating fuels, the total sum is divided into two headings:
      
                  62.
               
               
                  ‘Motor fuels and lubricants’.
               
            
                  80.
               
               
                  ‘Heating fuels’.
               
            63.   Car expenses
      Where the farm proportion of expenditure on private cars is calculated arbitrarily (e.g. a fixed amount per km), these costs are indicated under this heading.
      
         Feedingstuffs
      
      Feedingstuffs are divided into those purchased and those produced and used on the farm.
      The purchased feedingstuffs include mineral licks, milk products (bought or returned to the farm) and products for the preservation and storage of feedingstuffs, as well as the expenditure on agistment, on the use of common pasture and grazing land not included in the UAA and on renting forage land not included in the UAA. Purchased litter and straw are also included with purchased feedingstuffs.
      Feedingstuffs purchased for grazing stock are subdivided into concentrated feedingstuffs and coarse fodder (including agistments and expenditure on the use of common pastures, grazing land and forage land not included in the UAA, and purchased litter and straw).
      The heading ‘Concentrated feedingstuffs’ includes in particular oilcakes, compound feeds, cereals, dried grass, dried sugar beet pulp, fish meal, milk and dairy products, minerals and products for the preservation and storage of such feedingstuffs.
      Expenditure on work carried out by agricultural contractors for the production of coarse fodder, e.g. silage, is entered under heading 60 ‘Contract work’.
      Feedingstuffs produced and used on the farm include saleable farm products used as feedingstuffs (including milk and milk products but excluding milk suckled by calves, which is not taken into account). Litter and straw produced on the holding are only included if they are a saleable product in the region and year in question.

      COLUMNS IN TABLE G
      Opening valuation (column 3)
      
      Opening valuation is the value of goods at the beginning of the accounting year. For the farms present in the sample also in the previous year, the opening valuation should be equal to the closing valuation of the previous year. For new farms in the sample, the opening valuation is calculated as follows:
      
                  —
               
               
                  for assets which are not subject to depreciation, it is equal to the replacement value,
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  for assets subject to depreciation it is determined according to the period of depreciation still to run and on the basis of the replacement value (including any major repairs already done).
               
            The replacement value is equal to the purchase price of a similar new asset at current prices. It can be also estimated on the basis of the prices index (general or specific) for the assets in question (machinery, buildings, etc.).
      Land is valued on the basis of prices (net of acquisition costs) applying in the region for non-rented land of similar situation and quality sold for agricultural purposes (valuations made on the transfer of property between relatives are not taken into account in determining the value). Where the costs of private cars used for farming purposes are divided between headings 61 ‘current upkeep of equipment’ and 62 ‘fuels and lubricants’, the farm business share of the value of the cars is included under deadstock. However, if the cost of use of private cars for farming purposes is calculated arbitrarily (see heading 63) private cars are not to be included under deadstock.
      Investments (column 4)
      
      Total expenditure on purchases, major repairs and the production of fixed assets during the accounting year. Where grants and subsidies have been received in respect of these investments, the amount expended before deducting the said grants and subsidies is entered in column 4.
      Purchases of minor items of machinery and equipment as well as of young trees and bushes for a minor replanting operation do not appear in these columns but are included in the costs for the accounting year (see heading 61 ‘Current upkeep of machinery and equipment’, heading 72 ‘Seeds and seedlings purchased’, heading 77 ‘Specific forestry costs’).
      When payment is made on fixed interest debenture bonds, these are assessed on the basis of their cash value.
      Investment subsidies (column 5)
      
      Subsidies received during the accounting year. May include those paid on investments made in previous accounting years.
      Sales (column 6)
      
      Total sales of assets during the accounting year.
      Depreciation (column 7)
      
      The depreciation to register is the actual amount of depreciation over the accounting year. It is determined on the basis of the replacement value (i.e. replacement value at the end of the accounting year, multiplied by the depreciation rate).
      A table with the annual rates of depreciation applied by each Member State should be communicated to the Commission in the same time of the achievement of the introduction of the Farm Returns data.
      
                   
               
               
                  
                     Depreciation of plantations
                  
                  The cost of young trees and bushes for a new plantation represents a capital asset subject to depreciation.
                  Only plantations which are the property of the holder (irrespective of the type of occupancy of the land) are subject to depreciation.
               
            
                   
               
               
                  
                     Depreciation of farm buildings, fixed equipment and land improvements
                  
                  Depreciation of buildings, fixed equipment (including glasshouses and frames) and land improvements belonging to the holder, irrespective of the type of occupancy of the land.
               
            
                   
               
               
                  
                     Depreciation of machinery and equipment
                  
                  Machinery and equipment subject to depreciation are defined as that having a value exceeding EUR 300 when new. The depreciation of minor equipment of lower value should not be calculated; purchases of such equipment are to be treated directly as costs for the accounting year (heading 61 ‘Current upkeep of machinery and equipment’).
                  Major repairs which effectively increase the value of the machinery and equipment compared to their value before repair, are also included under this heading, either as an integral part of the machinery or equipment depreciation, which, as appropriate, will be adjusted to take account of the extended life (due to the repairs) of the item in question or by spreading the cost of the major repairs over several successive years.
                  The amount of annual depreciation should be calculated according to the linear or diminishing balance method.
                  The rate of depreciation is determined by various factors, which depend for the most part on the particular conditions of the region and of the production in question (amount of use in each year) but also on technical progress.
                  In view of the resulting differences in depreciation from one region to another, and even from one holding to another, accountancy offices may choose rates for each item of machinery or equipment appropriate to the region or holding, the aim being to keep as closely as possible to the actual depreciation in value of the machinery.
               
            
         Closing valuation (column 8)
      
      
         Closing valuation is the value of assets at the end of the accounting year. It is calculated on the basis of the replacement value at that time and the period of depreciation still to run.
      H.   DEBTS
      The amounts indicated should relate only to amounts still outstanding i.e. loans contracted minus the repayments already made. Loans in the form of fixed interest debenture bonds are valued at their cash value. Information must be supplied at least for positions 374, 378, 382, 386, 390 and 394.
      Loans are indicated according to duration, i.e.:
      104.   Long- and medium-term loans
      Loans in respect of the holding for a duration of one year and over.
      105.   Short-term loans and creditors
      Loans in respect of the holding for less than one year, debts and outstanding payments.
      106.   Total
      Total of headings 104 and 105.
      If data are available in the farm accounts, the loans should be subdivided according to the purpose of the loan, i.e.:
      
                  —
               
               
                  loans for land and buildings (columns 2 and 6),
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  of which: loans for the purchase of land (columns 3 and 7), loans for other assets (columns 4 and 8).
               
            The sum of these items makes up the amounts shown in column 1 (total opening valuation) (= columns 2 + 4) and column 5 (total closing valuation) (= columns 6 + 8).
      I.   VALUE ADDED TAX (VAT)
      Data in monetary terms in the farm return are expressed according to the Member State concerned:
      
                  —
               
               
                  either exclusive of VAT; this method should be applied for all holdings subject to the normal VAT system,
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  or inclusive of VAT. The Member States in which this method is used should provide annually, with the computer media containing the year’s accounting data, a list of VAT rates applied during the year for each item of the farm return.
               
            In the case of holdings subject to the normal VAT system nothing should be entered under headings 108 to 111. The same applies if purchases and sales in the farm return are entered with VAT included.
      The following details on VAT should be provided:
      107.   VAT system

They include rent from tourism (camping sites, cottages, riding facilities, hunting, fishing, etc.).The relevant costs and labour cannot be separated and, therefore, are all included under the corresponding headings.
      180.   Correction of receipts relating to previous accounting year: amounts received during the year relating to previous accounting years which were not included in the receivables of those accounting years. Grants, subsidies and direct aids relating to products, animals, surface area, costs and disasters should be entered for the current accounting year under headings 112 to 118, and for previous accounting years under the serial number 483.

      Heading 182 covers all other areas, e.g. the kitchen garden, the ground occupied by buildings, roads, stockyard, ponds, etc.
      183.   Total: sum of the headings 120 to 182 and 313 to 314.
      However, the sum of areas does not include areas used for successive crops and mushrooms. Thus the sum of areas represents the total area of the holding.

                  :
               
               
                  Code 8 should be entered in the case of product code 146, where area is set aside as a measure to comply with Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, and is not cultivated (possible green cover included).
               
            Area (column 4)
      
      Area is to be given in ares (100 ares = 1 hectare), except in the case of land used for mushroom growing (heading 139) which is given in square metres. The latter area is not included in the total area (see heading 183).
      The area for each crop product is given in this column, except in the case of by-products (headings 161, 284, 299 to 301 and 304) and some processed products (headings 160 and 288). The products obtained by processing purchased crops and the products of marketable crops purchased as standing crops or coming from land rented for a period of less than one year on an occasional basis are given without indicating the area. Code 1 should be entered in column 3 (missing data).
      For the subheadings concerning fresh vegetables, melons and strawberries (335 to 341), flowers and ornamental plants (headings 342 to 344), grown in market gardens in the open or under shelter, the area actually used for the crop (cropped area) is given. Example: if radishes and then leeks are grown on a single area of 1 ha of market garden in the open, the basic area to be entered under heading 137 would be 1 ha and the cropped area would be twice 1 ha, to be entered respectively under headings 339 and 336. If this information is not available in the accounts of the holding, code 1 should be entered in column 3 (missing data).
      Production for the accounting year (column 5)
      
      The quantities of animal products and crops produced during the accounting year (excluding any losses in the field and at the farm). These quantities are indicated for the principal products of the holding (except by-products).
      These quantities should be indicated in quintals (100 kg) except in the case of eggs (heading 169), which are given in thousands, and wine and wine-related products (headings 286 to 289 and 292 to 295), which are expressed in hectolitres. The quantity for the main heading 155 Vines, even if it is related to wine products, should be given in quintals.
      In the case of milk, the quantity of liquid milk is indicated regardless of the form in which it is sold, consumed on the farm or used for benefits in kind or for farm purposes (cream, butter, cheese, etc.). Milk suckled by calves is not included in the production.
      When, because of the conditions of sale, actual production in quintals cannot be determined (see sales of standing crops and crops under contract), code 2 should be entered in column 3 (missing data) for the crops under contract and code 3 in the other cases.
      Opening valuation (column 6)
      
      The value of products in stock (storage) at the beginning of the accounting year, excluding livestock. The products should be valued at farm-gate prices on the day of valuation.
      Sales (column 7)
      
      Total value of sales (whether or not the proceeds have been received during the accounting year) of products in stock at the start of the accounting year and harvested during the year.
      The total for products sold includes the value of products returned to the farm (skimmed milk, pulp, etc.). The latter value is also entered under farm costs.
      Any compensation payments (e.g. insurance payments for hail damage) during the accounting year are to be added to the total for sales of the products concerned wherever they can be allocated to the production of such products. Otherwise they are entered under heading 181 ‘Other products and receipts’.
      Grants and subsidies received for products during the accounting year are not included in the total for sales; they are entered under heading 112 (see instructions on this heading). When marketing costs, if any, are known, they are not deducted from the sales total, but are given under heading 71 ‘Other specific livestock costs’ or 76 ‘Other specific crop costs’.
      Farmhouse consumption and benefits in kind (column 8)
      
      Products consumed by the holder’s household (including products from the holding used for the preparation of meals for holidaymakers) and/or used for payments in kind for goods and services (including remuneration in kind). The products in question are valued at farm-gate prices.
      Closing valuation (column 9)
      
      The value of products in stock (storage) at the end of the accounting year, excluding livestock. Products should be valued at farm-gate prices on the day of valuation.
      Farm use (column 10)
      
      The farm-gate value of the holding’s products in stock (storage) at the beginning of the accounting year and/or produced during the year, used as inputs on the holding during the year. This includes:
      
                  —
               
               
                  animal feed:
                  the farm-gate value of the holding’s saleable products (products which are currently marketable) used during the year as animal feed. The holding’s straw used on the farm (as fodder and bedding) is valued only when it is a saleable product in the region and for the year under consideration. Milk suckled by calves is not included under farm use.
                  The products concerned are valued at the ‘farm-gate’ selling price,
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  seeds:
                  the farm-gate value of saleable farm products used as seed for crops during the accounting year.
               
            L.   QUOTAS AND OTHER RIGHTS
      The quantity of owned quota at the end of the accounting year should always be entered in column 9.
      Enter also quotas originally acquired freely at current market values if they can be traded separately from land. The quotas which cannot be traded separately from associated land are only recorded in Table G.
      Some data entries are simultaneously included, individually or as components of aggregates, at other headings in Tables F, G and/or K.
      The following headings should be used:
