Where Member States have more than one FADN division, the number of duly completed and submitted farm returns per FADN division that are eligible for payment of the standard fee may be up to 20 % higher than the number laid down for the FADN division concerned, provided that the total number of duly completed and submitted farm returns of the Member State concerned shall not be higher than the total number laid down for that Member State in Annex II to this Regulation.
Article 13 
The total amount of the standard fee referred to in Article 19(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 shall be paid in two instalments:

((a)) a payment corresponding to 50 % of the total amount calculated on the basis of the amount fixed in the first paragraph of Article 14 of this Regulation shall be made at the beginning of each accounting year for the number of returning holdings laid down in Annex II to this Regulation;
((b)) the remaining amount shall be paid after the submitted farm returns have been verified by the Commission as being duly completed.
The remaining amount referred to in point (b) of the first paragraph of this Article shall be calculated by multiplying the standard fee per farm return calculated on the basis of Article 14 of this Regulation by the number of duly completed farm returns that are eligible pursuant to Article 12 of this Regulation and by subtracting the payment referred to in point (a) of the first paragraph of this Article.
Article 14 
The standard fee referred to in Article 19(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 shall be fixed at EUR 160 per farm return.
If the 80 % threshold referred to in Article 19(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 is not met neither at the level of a FADN division nor at the level of the Member State concerned, the reduction referred to in that provision shall be applied only at national level.
If the Member State submits the accountancy data referred to in Article 9 of this Regulation not later than one month before the relevant deadlines referred to in Article 10(3), the standard fee is increased by EUR 5 unless the 80 % threshold referred to in Article 19(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 in respect of a FADN division or a Member State has not been met.

ANNEX V
A. 
The economic size of a holding is measured as the total standard output of the holding expressed in EUR.

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


Classes Limits in EUR
I less than 2 000
II from 2 000 to less than 4 000
III from 4 000 to less than 8 000
IV from 8 000 to less than 15 000
V from 15 000 to less than 25 000
VI from 25 000 to less than 50 000
VII from 50 000 to less than 100 000
VIII from 100 000 to less than 250 000
IX from 250 000 to less than 500 000
X from 500 000 to less than 750 000
XI from 750 000 to less than 1 000 000
XII from 1 000 000 to less than 1 500 000
XIII from 1 500 000 to less than 3 000 000
XIV from 3 000 000

Size classes II and III or III and IV, IV and V, or from III to V, VI and VII, VIII and IX, X and XI and from XII to XIV or from X to XIV can be grouped together.

ANNEX VI
1.  (a) The standard output (SO) means the value of the output of each agricultural characteristic referred to in Article 6(1) corresponding to the average situation in a given region.
 (b) The value of the output mentioned in point (a) means the monetary value of gross agricultural production at farm-gate price. It 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 by the farm-gate price. VAT, taxes on products and direct payments are not included.
 (c) 
The SOs correspond to a production period of 12 months (calendar year or agricultural production year).

For crop products and livestock products for which the period of production is less than or exceeds 12 months, a SO corresponding to growth or production in a 12-month period is calculated.
 (d) 
The SOs are determined on the basis of the production per unit and the farm-gate price referred to in point (b) above. To this end, the basic data are collected in the Member States for a reference period defined in Article 4 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1198/2014.
 (e) 

((1)) Physical units:

((a)) The SOs for crop characteristics are determined on the basis of area expressed in hectares.
For mushrooms, however, the SOs are determined on the basis of gross output for all the annual successive harvests and are expressed per 100 m2 of area under crops. For their use in the context of the FADN, such SOs for mushrooms are divided by the number of annual successive harvests which is to be communicated to the Commission pursuant to Article 8 of this Regulation.
((b)) The SOs 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.
((2)) Monetary units and rounding:
The basic data for determining the SOs and the calculated SOs are established in EUR. For the Member States not taking part in the Economic and Monetary Union, the SOs are converted into EUR using the average exchange rates for the reference period as defined in point 1(d) of this Annex. These average exchange rates are calculated based on the official exchange rates published by the Commission (Eurostat).
The SOs may be rounded to the nearest EUR 5 where appropriate.

2.  (a) 
The SOs are determined for all the agricultural characteristics corresponding to the headings of the FSS in the manner laid down in those surveys.
 (b) 

— The SOs are determined at least on the basis of geographical units which are usable for the FSS and for the FADN. These geographical units are all based on the general Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) as defined in Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council. These units are described as a regrouping of NUTS 3 regions. Less favoured or mountain areas are not considered as a geographical unit.
— No SO is determined for characteristics which are not relevant in the region concerned.

3. 

((a)) The basic data for determining SOs are renewed at least each time a FSS is carried out in the form of a census as referred to in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1166/2008.
((b)) When the FSS may be carried out as sample survey as referred to in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1166/2008, the updating of the SOs shall be carried out:

— either by renewing the basic data in a manner similar to that specified under (a),
— or by applying a coefficient of change whereby SOs are updated to take account of changes, as estimated by the Member State, in quantities produced per unit and in prices with respect to each characteristic and region, that have occurred since the last reference period, as referred to in Article 4 of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1198/2014.

4. 
The Member States are responsible, in accordance with the provisions of this Annex, for collecting the basic data needed for calculating the SOs and for calculating them, for converting them into EUR and for collecting the data required for applying the updating method, if appropriate.

5. 
The following special rules are laid down for the calculation of SOs for certain types of characteristics and for calculating the total SO of the holding:
 (a) 
SO relating to fallow land is taken into account when calculating the total SO of the holding only when there are other positive SOs on that holding.
 (b) 
Since the produce of kitchen gardens is normally intended for the holder's own consumption and not for sale, the SOs are regarded as equal to zero.
 (c) 
For livestock the characteristics are split by category of age. The output corresponds to the value of growth of the animal during the time spent in the category. In other words, it corresponds to the difference between the value of the animal when it is leaving the category and its value when it is entering the category (named also the replacement value).
 (d) 
SOs relating to bovine animals under one year old are taken into account when calculating the total SO of the holding only when there are more bovine animals under one year than cows on the holding. Only the SOs relating to the surplus number of bovine animals under one year are taken into account.
 (e) 
SOs relating to other sheep are taken into account when calculating the total SO of the holding only when there are no breeding sheep females on the holding.

SOs relating to other goats are taken into account when calculating the total SO of the holding only when there are no breeding goat females on the holding.
 (f) 
SOs relating to piglets are taken into account when calculating the total SO of the holding only when there are no breeding sows on the holding.
 (g) 
If there are no grazing livestock (i.e. equidae, cattle, sheep or goats) on the holding, the forage (i.e. roots and brassicas, plants harvested green, pasture and meadows) is considered as intended for sale and is part of the general cropping output.

If there are grazing livestock on the farm, the forage is considered as intended to feed the grazing livestock and is part of the grazing livestock and forage output.

ANNEX VII
A. 
The gainful activities directly related to the holding other than the agri- cultural activities of the holding comprise all activities other than farm work, directly related to the holding and having an economic impact on the holding. Those are activities where either the resources of the holding (area, buildings, machinery, agricultural products, etc.) or the products of the holdings are used.

Gainful activities in this context mean active work; pure financial investments are therefore excluded. Renting out the land or other agricultural resources of the farm for diverse activities without being further involved in these activities is not considered as an OGA but as part of the agricultural activity of the holding.

All processing of farm products is considered as OGA unless the processing is regarded as a part of an agricultural activity. Wine processing and olive oil production are therefore excluded unless the bought-in proportion of wine or olive oil is significant.

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 are considered as OGA. This includes processing meat, making cheese, etc.

B. 
The share of the OGA directly related to the holding in the output of the holding is estimated as the share of the OGA directly related to the holding turnover in the sum of total turnover of the holding and direct payments of that holding under Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013:

RATIO=Turnover of OGA directly related to the holdingTotal holding turnoveragricultural+OGA directly related to the holding+direct payments

C. 
Holdings are classified by classes reflecting the share of OGA directly related to the holding in the output of the holding. The following limits shall apply:


Classes Percentage bands
I From 0 % to 10 % (marginal share)
II From more than 10 % to 50 % (medium share)
III From more than 50 % to less than a 100 % (significant share)

ANNEX VIII
The data to be collected is classified by table and broken down into groups, categories and columns. The convention used to refer to a specific data field is:
<table letter>_<group>_<category>[_<category>]_<column>_
Specific data values are captured at the column level. In the tables as set out below, clear cells are where data values can be accepted; greyed cells marked with a ‘—’ have no meaning in the group context, so no data is accepted in those.
Examples:

— B.UT.20.A (column A of the group UT, category 20, from table B) represents the ‘Area’ of ‘Rented UAA’ to be recorded under the ‘UAA for tenant farming’ in table B.
— I.A.10110.1.0.TA (column TA of the group A, category 10110, from table I) represents the total area of ‘Common wheat and spelt’ for type of crop 1 ‘Field scale crops — main crop, combined crop’ and missing data code 0 ‘No data missing’.
When a value is not relevant or missing for any particular holding, do not enter value ‘0’.
Tables are represented by one letter, groups by one or more letters, categories by numeric codes and columns by one or more letters.
For tables A to M, the first table shows the high level matrix for groups and columns. The second table shows how this breaks down for categories where each category is represented by one or more codes and sub-codes.
The data in a farm return should be given with the following degrees of accuracy:
— financial valuesvalues in EUR or in national monetary units without decimal. However, for national currencies where the unit represents a low relative value compared to the EUR, it may be agreed between the liaison agency of the Member State in question and the staff of the Commission which manages the FADN, to express the values in hundreds or thousands of national currency units,— physical quantitiesin quintals (1 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,— areasin ares (1 a = 100 m2), except in the case of mushrooms which will be expressed in square metres of total cropped area,— average livestock numbersto two decimal places, 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 unitsto two decimal places.
For each table category and column value, further definitions and instructions are set out after the table concerned.

 A.ID. 
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:


 A.ID.10.R. FADN Division: a code number is to be given, corresponding to the code set in Annex II to this Regulation.
 A.ID.10.S. 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 Eurostat 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 output are calculated.
 A.ID.10.H. Serial number of the holding.
 A.LO. 
The location of the holding is given with two indications: the geo-reference (latitude and longitude) and the code of the NUTS level 3 territorial units.


 A.LO.20. Latitude: degrees and minutes (within an arc of 5 minutes), columns DG and MI.
 A.LO.30. Longitude: degrees and minutes (within an arc of 5 minutes), columns DG and MI.
 A.LO.40.N. The NUTS3 code means the code of the NUTS level 3 territorial unit where the holding is located. The latest version of the code as described in Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 should be given.
 A.AI. 

 A.AI.50.AO. Number of the accounting office: a code number is to be given.

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.

Utilised agricultural area (UAA) is the total area taken up by arable land, permanent grassland, permanent crops and kitchen gardens used by the holding regardless of the type of tenure. Common land used by the holding is not included.

The following groups of information and categories should be used:
 B.UO. 
B.UO.10.A UAA (arable land, permanent grassland, permanent crops and kitchen gardens) of which the farmer is the owner, tenant for life or leaseholder and/or UAA held on similar terms. This category includes land leased to others ready for sowing (crop code 11300).
 B.UT. 
B.UT.20.A UAA (arable land, permanent grassland, permanent crops and kitchen gardens) 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 UAA 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 H under codes 2020 to 2040 (purchased feedstuffs) in the case of grassland or fodder crops and under code 3090 (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 (table H).

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.
 B.US. 
B.US.30.A UAA (arable land, grassland and permanent pasture, permanent crops and kitchen gardens) farmed jointly by the grantor and the sharecropper on the basis of a sharecropping agreement and/or utilised agricultural area farmed on similar terms.

The term ‘labour’ includes all persons who have been engaged on work on the farm during the accounting year. 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 H under code 1020).

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 (groups PR or PC 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 category in other tables (in this example, table L category 2010 ‘Contractual work’) and as a cost (table H category 1010 ‘Wages and social security’);
((b)) assistance given in the form of work is offset by a service of another 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 group in another table (in this example, table H group 1020 ‘Contract work and machinery hire’).

The following groups of information and categories of labour are to be distinguished:
 C.UR. 
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.).

There are the following categories:
 C.UR.10. 
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.
 C.UR.20. 
Person who assumes economic and legal responsibility for the holding without undertaking its day-to-day management.
 C.UR.30 
Person who undertakes day-to-day management of the holding without assumption of economic and legal responsibility for it.
 C.UR.40.  C.UR.50. 
Regular unpaid labour not included in the preceding categories includes also foreman and sub-managers not responsible for management of the whole farm.
 C.UC.  C.UC.60. Unpaid labour which has not worked regularly on the holding during the accounting year is aggregated under this category.
 C.PR. 
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 categories are to be shown:
 C.PR.70. 
Salaried person responsible for the day-to-day management of the holding.
 C.PR.50. 
All regular paid labour (except for the holding's salaried manager) is aggregated under this group. Includes also foreman and sub-managers not responsible for management of the whole farm.
 C.PC.  C.PC.60. Paid labour which did not regularly work on the holding during the accounting year (including piece workers) is aggregated under this category.

Where there are several holders, there may be more than one spouse. The number of spouses and the number of persons should be indicated in the categories where they can appear (categories 40 and 50 from the groups ‘unpaid regular labour’ UR or ‘paid regular labour’ PR).

The gender should be given only for the holder(s) and/or manager(s), in the categories where they can appear (categories 10 to 30 and 70 from groups ‘regular unpaid labour’ UR or ‘regular paid labour’ PR). The gender is indicated by a code number, i.e.:

1.male;2.female.

The year of birth should be given only for the holder(s) and/or manager(s) (categories 10 to 30 and 70 from groups ‘regular unpaid labour’ UR or ‘regular paid labour’ PR) using the four figures of the year of birth.

The agricultural training should be given only for the manager(s) (categories 10, 30 and 70 from groups ‘unpaid regular labour’ UR or ‘paid regular labour’ PR). The agricultural training is indicated by a code number, i.e.:

1.only practical agricultural experience;2.basic agricultural training;3.full agricultural training.

Time worked should be indicated in hours for all groups and categories. 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.

Regularly employed work force is converted into annual work units. The number of annual work unit is not recorded for casual labour (both unpaid casual UC and paid casual PC labour). 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.

The share of work for OGA in terms of time worked is compulsory only for the casual labour (for both unpaid and paid casual labour). It is optional for the spouse(s) of the holder(s), the other unpaid regular labour, and the other paid regular labour. For each category concerned (40, 50, 60), it is given in % of hours worked during the accounting year.

The share of work for OGA in terms of annual work units is compulsory for all categories of labour except casual labour (both unpaid casual UC and paid casual PC labour). It is given in % of annual work unit for each category.

Work on the holding includes all the work of organisation, supervision and execution, both manual and administrative, done in connection with the farm agricultural work and the work related to the OGA directly related to the holding:


— Farm agricultural work
— financial organisation and management (farm sales and purchases, bookkeeping, etc.),
— work in the field (ploughing, sowing, harvesting, orchard maintenance, etc.),
— livestock husbandry (feed preparation, feeding of animals, milking, care of livestock, etc.),
— preparation of products for market, storage, direct sales of farm products, processing of farm products for self-consumption, production of wine and olive oil,
— maintenance of buildings, machinery, equipment, hedges, ditches, etc.,
— transport for the holding and carried out by the labour force of the holding.
— Work for the OGA directly related to the holding
— contractual work (using production means of the holding),
— tourism, accommodation and other leisure activities,
— processing of farm products (whether the raw material is produced on the holding or bought from outside), e.g. cheese, butter, processed meat…,
— production of renewable energy,
— forestry and wood processing,
— other OGA (fur animals, care farming, handicraft, aquaculture, …).

The following are not included in the work of the holding:


— work in production of fixed assets (construction or major repairs of buildings or machinery, planting of orchards, demolition of buildings, grubbing up of orchards, etc.),
— work performed for the household of the holder or manager.

The groups of information are: (OV) opening valuation, (AD) accumulated depreciation, (DY) depreciation of the current year, (IP) investment or purchase before deduction of subsidies, (S) subsidies, (SA) sales, (CV) closing valuation. They are explained hereafter.

There is only one column (V) value.

The following valuation methods are used:


Fair value less the estimate point-of-sale costs amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction less the cost estimated to incur in relation to the sale 2010, 3010, 5010, 7010

Book value value at which an asset is carried on a balance sheet 1010, 1020, 1030, 1040, 8010
 D.OV. 
Opening valuation is the value of assets at the beginning of the accounting year. For the farms present in the sample also in the previous year, the opening valuation has to be equal to the closing valuation of the previous year.
 D.AD. 
Is the sum of depreciation of assets from the start of its life until the end of the previous period.
 D.DY. 
Systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life.

A table with the annual rates of depreciation applied by each Member State should be communicated to the Commission in due time for the set-up of the computerised delivery and control system referred to in Article 10(1).
 D.IP. 
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 IP.

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.

Major repairs which effectively increase the value of the machinery and equipment compared to their value before repair, are also included under this column, 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 the expected useful life.

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 codes 2010 to 8010 of table D ‘Assets’.
 D.S. 
Current portion of all subsidies received (in previous or current accounting years) for assets recorded in this table.
 D.SA. 
Total sales of assets during the accounting year.
 D.CV. 
Closing valuation is the value of assets at the end of the accounting year.

For items 2010, 3010, 5010 and 7010 the difference between OV + IP-SA and CV is considered as an income or loss (coming from both change in unit price and volume) for these assets for the accounting year.

Information about Biological assets — animals is recorded in the table J ‘Livestock production’.

Provision of the data referred to in codes 3031-3033 is optional in the years 2015-2017 for those Member States who used in the past the possibility under Article 3 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 385/2012. Member States using this option shall annually inform the Commission and the Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network about the implementation of their plan concerning the preparation for the gathering and transmission of the data referred to in these codes.

Farm inputs (costs in cash and in kind, and quantities of selected inputs) relate to the ‘consumption’ of productive resources (including farm use of own produced inputs) corresponding to the output of the farm during the accounting year or to the ‘consumption’ of those resources during the accounting year. When certain use relates partly to private use and partly to farm use (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 use of 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 recorded 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 an appropriate code of circulating capital.

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 Table I ‘Crops’ with the category of crop code 90900 (‘Other’).

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 in Table D ‘Assets’.

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 appropriate codes 4100 to 4900 in table M ‘Subsidies’ (see instructions regarding those codes). Investment grants and subsidies are shown in table D ‘Assets’.

Costs also include any expenditure on purchases relating to each cost item.

Inputs are classified as follows:
 1010. 
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.),
— bonuses for productivity or qualifications, gifts, gratuities, share of profits,
— 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 code ‘Other farming overheads’.
 1020. 
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 code 3040‘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 code 1040‘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 codes (codes 1030‘Current upkeep of machinery and equipment’ and 1040‘Motor fuels and lubricants’).
 1030. 
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 item 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 code 1050). Detergents used for cleaning livestock equipment (e.g. milking machines) are entered under code 2090‘Other specific livestock costs’.

Major repairs which increase the value of equipment, compared with its value before repairs, are not included under this code (see also instructions on depreciation in Table D ‘Assets’).
 1040. 
This item also includes the proportion of fuel and lubricant costs for private cars corresponding to their use for farm purposes (see also code 1050).

Where the products are employed both as motor fuels and as heating fuels, the total sum is divided into two codes:

1040.‘Motor fuels and lubricants’.5030.‘Heating fuels’.
 1050. 
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 code.

Used feedstuffs are divided into those purchased and those produced on the farm.

The purchased feedstuffs include mineral licks, milk products (bought or returned to the farm) and products for the preservation and storage of feedstuffs, 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 feedstuffs.

Feedstuffs purchased for grazing stock are subdivided into concentrated feedstuffs 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 code 2010‘Purchased concentrated feedstuffs for grazing stock (equines, ruminants)’ 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 feedstuffs.

Expenditure on work carried out by agricultural contractors for the production of coarse fodder, e.g. silage, is entered under code 1020‘Contract work and machinery hire’.

Feedstuffs produced and used on the farm include saleable farm products used as feedstuffs (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.

The following breakdown is to be given:


— Purchased feedstuffs:
2010.Purchased concentrated feedstuffs for grazing stock (equines, ruminants)2020.Purchased coarse fodder for grazing stock (equines, ruminants)2030.Purchased feedstuffs for pigs2040.Purchased feedstuffs for poultry and other small animals
— Farm-produced feedstuffs used on farms:

— single crops, i.e. crops which are the only ones grown on a given area during the accounting year,
— mixed crops: crops sown, cultivated and harvested together and producing a mixture as the final product,
— crops grown successively in the course of the accounting year on a given area, the crop which remains longest in the ground,
— crops growing for some time together on the same land and each normally producing a distinct harvest in the course of the accounting year. The total area is divided between these crops in proportion to the area actually occupied by each,

The missing data codes are to be selected form the list below:


Code (***) Description
0 No data missing
1 No entry area: this code should be entered when the area covered by a crop is not given, for example in the case of sales of marketable crop products purchased as standing crops or coming from land rented for a period of less than one year on an occasional basis.
2 No entry production (under contract): this code should be entered for the crops under contract when, because of the conditions of sale, the actual production cannot be stated.
3 No entry production (not under contract): this code should be entered when, because of the conditions of sale, the actual production cannot be stated and the crops are not under contract.
4 No entry area and production: this code should be entered when area and actual production are missing.

The information on crop production during the accounting year is to be recorded in the format of Table I ‘Crops’. Information on each crop is to be recorded in a separate record. The content of the table is defined by selecting a category of crop code, the type of crop code and the missing data code.

Detailed information concerning potatoes (codes 10310, 10390), fresh vegetables, melons and strawberries (codes 10731, 10732, 10733, 10734, 10735, 10736, 10737, 10738, 10739, 10790), flowers and ornamental plants (codes 10830, 10840, 10850) and crop by-products other than from olives and vine (codes 90310, 90320, 90330) has to be provided only if the data is available in the farm accounts.

Table I has seven rows containing the following groups of information: area (A), opening valuation (OV), closing valuation (CV), production (PR), sales (SA), farm household consumption and benefits in kind (FC) and farm use (FU).

Table I has six columns where for each crop, namely: the total area (TA), the area which is irrigated (IR), the area which is used for energy crops (EN), the area which is used for the production of GMO crops (GM), the quantity of production and sales (Q) and the value (V) are to be recorded. In the following it is described for each group of information which columns have to be completed:
 I.A 
For the group of information area (A), the total area (TA), the area which is irrigated (IR), the area which is used for energy crops (EN) and the area which is used for the production of GMO crops (GM) are to be recorded. In each case the area is to be given in ares (100 ares = 1 hectare), except in the case of land used for mushroom growing which is given in square metres.
 I.OV 
For the group of information opening valuation (OV), the value (V) of products in stock (storage) at the beginning of the accounting year is to be recorded. The products should be valued at farm-gate prices on the day of valuation.
 I.CV 
For the group of information closing valuation (CV), the value (V) of products in stock (storage) at the end of the accounting year is to be recorded. The products should be valued at farm-gate prices on the day of valuation.
 I.PR 
For the group of information production (PR) the quantities of crops produced (Q) during the accounting year (excluding any losses in the field and at the farm) are to be recorded. These quantities are indicated for the principal products of the holding (except by-products).

These quantities should be indicated in quintals (100 kg) with the exemption of wine and wine-related products, which are expressed in hectolitres. When, because of the conditions of sale, actual production in quintals cannot be determined (see sales of standing crops and crops under contract), missing data code 2 should be entered for the crops under contract and code 3 in the other cases.
 I.SA 
For the group of information total sales (SA) the quantity of sales (Q) and the value of sales (V) of products in stock at the start of the accounting year or harvested during the year are to be recorded. When marketing costs, if any, are known, they are not deducted from the sales total, but should be recorded in table H ‘Inputs’.
 I.FC 
For the group of information farm household consumption and benefits in kind (FC) the value (V) of the products consumed by the holder's household and/or used for payments in kind for goods and services (including remuneration in kind) are to be recorded. The products in question are valued at farm-gate prices.
 I.FU 
For the group of information farm use (FU) the farm-gate value (V) 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 are to be recorded. 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. 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 year,
— other farm use (including products from the holding used for the preparation of meals for holidaymakers).

The codes describing how the subsidy is financed are to be selected form the list below:


Code (**) Description
0 Not applicable: this code is to be used in the case of administrative information
1 The subsidy is financed solely from the EU budget.
2 The measure is co-financed by the EU and the Member State.
3 The measure is not financed from the EU budget but by other public sources.

The codes defining the basic units are to be selected form the list below:


Code (***) Description
0 Not applicable: this code is to be used in the case of administrative information
1 The subsidy is granted per head of livestock.
2 The subsidy is granted per ha.
3 The subsidy is granted per ton.
4 Farm/other: the subsidy is granted for the whole farm or in a way which does not fit in the other categories.

Table M ‘SUBSIDIES’ covers grants and subsidies received by agricultural holdings from public bodies, both National and EU. It also covers administrative information on greening payments.
 S 
Grants and subsidies are defined by category of subsidy (S), financing and basic units. For each entry, the number of basic units (N) and the amount received (V) are to be recorded. There might be several records per category of subsidy as the basic units and/or financing origins might differ.

As a general rule, grants and subsidies registered in Table M correspond to the current accounting year regardless of when the payment is received (accounting year is equal to claim year). Investment subsidies and rural development payments other than payments to areas facing natural or other specific constraints constitute an exception to this general rule as registered amounts should refer to payments actually received during the accounting year (accounting year is equal to payment year).
 AI 
Implementation of agricultural practices beneficial for the climate and the environment is defined by category of administrative information (AI). The number of basic units (N) and/or the type (T) are to be recorded for each entry, as specified in the table.

The number of basic units (N) corresponds to area concerned by agricultural practices beneficial for the climate and the environment, expressed in hectares:

(1) Code 10100Arable land area eligible for direct payments;(2) Code 10200Permanent grassland area;(3) Codes 10300-10319Arable land area corresponding to ecological focus area, expressed in hectares after application of conversion factors but before making use of weighting factors, where appropriate.

Provision of the data referred to in column Number of basic units (N) is optional in the years 2015-2017 for codes 10300-10319.

The type (T) is to be selected from the list below:


Code Description
1 Agricultural holding has an obligation to comply with the administrative requirement.
2 Agricultural holding complies ipso facto with the administrative requirement (organic farming).
3 Agricultural holding benefits from an exemption based on the compliance with Natura 2000, Birds or Water Framework Directives.
4 Agricultural holding benefits from an exemption based on other types of criteria specified in the Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013.
5 Agricultural holding is applying equivalence based on national or regional environmental certification schemes.
6 Agricultural holding is applying equivalence based on agri-environment-climate measures.

For category 10000 ‘Agricultural practices beneficial for the climate and the environment’, column Type (T) can only take on (mutually exclusive) values 1 and 2:


((1)) If code 1 is selected, information is to be recorded for categories 10100-10319 and column Type (T) can only take on values 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6;
((2)) If code 2 is selected, no information is to be recorded for categories 10100-10319.
