Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2746 of 25 October 2024 laying down rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 setting up the Farm Sustainability Data Network and repealing Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2746of 25 October 2024laying down rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 setting up the Farm Sustainability Data Network and repealing Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 of 30 November 2009 setting up the Farm Sustainability Data NetworkOJ L 328, 15.12.2009, p. 27, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2009/1217/oj., and in particular Article 4a(3), Article 5(1), third subparagraph, Article 5a(2) and (4), Article 5b(7), Article 7(2), Article 8(4), Article 8a(2) and Article 19(4) thereof,Whereas:(1)Regulation (EU) 2023/2674 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilRegulation (EU) 2023/2674 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 November 2023 amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 as regards conversion of the Farm Accountancy Data Network into a Farm Sustainability Data Network (OJ L, 2023/2674, 29.11.2023, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/2674/oj). amended Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009. With this amendment, the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) is transformed into a Farm Sustainability Data Network (FSDN). To ensure the proper functioning of the new legal framework resulting from that amendment, certain rules should be adopted by means of implementing acts.(2)In accordance with Article 5(1), third paragraph, of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, it is necessary to fix thresholds for the economic size of holdings. Such thresholds need to vary according to the Member State and, in some cases, according to the FSDN division, to take account of their different farming structures.(3)Article 5a of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 provides that each Member State is to draw up a plan for the selection of returning holdings ("selection plan") that ensures a representative sample of the field of survey. For creating the selection plan, the field of survey should be stratified based on the FSDN divisions listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, as well as based on types of farming and economic sizes. The selection plan should be drawn up before the beginning of the reporting year so that the Commission can review its content before it can be used to select returning holdings. To maintain the representativeness of the sample selected in relation to the economic variables, while incorporating other sustainability aspects, the models and methods relating to selection plan’s form and content should be updated. The selection of holdings operated by the Member States should take into account environmental and social topics introduced with the conversion to the FSDN.(4)To meet the objectives set out in Article 5b of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, which apply for the purposes of the FSDN, implementing rules for the Union typology should be established.(5)The type of farming and the economic size of the holding should be determined using an economic criterion. It is appropriate to use the standard output referred to in Article 5b(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 for that purpose. These standard outputs need to be established by product and should align with the list of core structural data variables set out in Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2018/1091 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilRegulation (EU) 2018/1091 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 July 2018 on integrated farm statistics and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1166/2008 and (EU) No 1337/2011 (OJ L 200, 7.8.2018, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2018/1091/oj).. In this respect, a correspondence between the characteristics of the structure surveys and the headings of the farm return of the FSDN should be ensured.(6)As the non-agricultural activities of the holding become more important, a classification variable reflecting the importance of such gainful activities directly related to the holding should be included in the Union typology.(7)Since it is appropriate to use the standard output referred to in Article 5b(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 as an economic criterion to determine the type of farming and the economic size of the holding, it is further necessary to lay down certain rules for the transmission to the Commission of the standard outputs and the data needed for their calculation.(8)To achieve the objectives of the FSDN, the characteristics of the farm return should be modified, including start and end of the reporting year, the form and layout of the farm return, the definition of variables and the frequency of data transmission. In particular, the new variables relating to the economic, environmental, and social sustainability dimensions of farming should cover the topics set out in Annex -I of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009. General principles for compiling the farm returns, including the need to collect environmental and social variables and the new possibilities provided by data sharing with other data sources, should be established.(9)Variables and definition of variables linked to one or more of the topics set out in Annex -I of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 should be detailed, providing information necessary to carry out their specific analysis. The definition of new variables should be consistent with the existing accountancy data, which are included within FSDN data, based on similar form and layout.(10)Article 8(4), point (d), of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 lays down that methods and deadlines for data transmission to the Commission, including possible extensions of deadlines and exemptions for specific variables that may be granted to a Member State, should be established. It is appropriate, taking in account the different organisation and methods for data compilation across Member States, to establish relevant deadlines for certain variables within the period of reporting year 2025 to reporting year 2027. Such period should apply both for establishing the timetable for submitting the data and for the management of the annual budget.(11)Duly completed farm returns should be sent to the Commission in time by the liaison agency appointed by each Member State in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, to ensure the uniform and timely management of the delivered data. The delivery process of the data to the Commission should be made practical and secure. Therefore, provision should be made for the liaison agency to send the information concerned directly to the Commission via the computerised system set up by the Commission for the purposes of that Regulation as well as for further modalities in that regard. It is appropriate that the time limits for the submission of such data to the Commission take into account Member States' past record in delivering such data.(12)Every farm return delivered to the Commission should be duly completed in order to be considered as eligible for payment of the amount.(13)The limit on the total number of duly completed farm returns eligible for Union financing per Member State and per FSDN division is laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009. However, to take account of structural changes, flexibility in the maximum number of returning holdings eligible for Union financing per FSDN division should be allowed in order to compensate for under-deliveries in other FSDN divisions, provided that the maximum number of the returning holdings of the Member State concerned is respected, as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009.(14)According to Article 19(1), point (a), of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, an amount should be payable to the Member States for the delivery of the duly completed farm returns within a set deadline. In order to ensure a smooth transition between the FADN and the FSDN, the rules governing the amount payable to Member States should be adapted for the payments within the period of reporting year 2025 to reporting year 2027 and take account of the extent to which the duly completed farm returns delivered provide all the information required to analyse the topics set out in Annex-I to Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009.(15)The Commission, the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) in respect of those Member States participating in enhanced cooperation pursuant to Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1939Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1939 of 12 October 2017 implementing enhanced cooperation on the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office ("the EPPO") (OJ L 283, 31.10.2017, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2017/1939/oj)., the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) and the Court of Auditors are to have the power to exert their respective competences, including to carry out audits, on-the-spot-checks and investigations on the expenditure financed by the Union under this Regulation.(16)In order to implement rules on data sharing included in Article 4a of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, it is necessary to set out provisions on the data to be extracted from the different datasets. Technical specifications and deadlines for data transmission should be set out with the aim to reduce administrative burden for the Member States’ authorities, taking into account the feasibility to extract data, other electronic systems already in place and the management of the FSDN computerised data system. To align with the implementation of the Strategic Plans under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) as laid down in Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilRegulation (EU) 2021/2115 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 2 December 2021 establishing rules on support for strategic plans to be drawn up by Member States under the common agricultural policy (CAP Strategic Plans) and financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and repealing Regulations (EU) No 1305/2013 and (EU) No 1307/2013 (OJ L 435, 6.12.2021, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2021/2115/oj). and Regulation (EU) 2021/2116 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilRegulation (EU) 2021/2116 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 2 December 2021 on the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy and repealing Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 (OJ L 435, 6.12.2021, p. 187, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2021/2116/oj)., in particular in Article 67(3) thereof, it is appropriate to set deadlines for data transmission that will allow to link FSDN data with the CAP aid applications submitted by the same holdings. Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the CouncilDirective 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2007 establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE) (OJ L 108, 25.4.2007, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2007/2/oj). and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/138Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/138 of 21 December 2022 laying down a list of specific high-value datasets and the arrangements for their publication and re-use (OJ L 19, 20.1.2023, p. 43, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2023/138/oj). should also be taken into account with regards to sharing spatial data of agricultural parcels.(17)In order to implement rules on storage, processing, reuse and sharing of data included in Article 8a of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, it is necessary to set out provisions about the computerised data system to transmit and analyse data in accordance with Commission Decision (EU, Euratom) 2017/46Commission Decision (EU, Euratom) 2017/46 of 10 January 2017 on the security of communication and information systems in the European Commission (OJ L 6, 11.1.2017, p. 40, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2017/46/oj)..(18)The number, relevance, and definition of variables, as well as financial provisions, including the definition of a duly completed farm return, and data sharing provisions should be subject to revision in 2027, taking into account the experience gained after the compilation of data for the first reporting year, and on the basis of a feasibility analysis taking into account, among others, input from Member States, including the availability and quality of new and existing data sources, possible implementation of new methods, and the financial burden on the Member States and returning holdings.(19)The new rules introduced by this Regulation replace the existing rules laid out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 of 3 February 2015 laying down rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Union (OJ L 46, 19.2.2015, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2015/220/oj).. That Implementing Regulation should therefore be repealed. However, to ensure that data transmission, data verification and payments for all accounting years prior to 2025 can be finalised, that Implementing Regulation should continue to apply after 1 January 2025.(20)Considering the need for Member States to transition from the FADN to the FSDN this Regulation should apply as from reporting year 2025.(21)To allow Member States to start preparing the selection plan promptly, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.(22)The European Data Protection Supervisor was consulted in accordance with Article 42(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilRegulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data by the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 and Decision No 1247/2002/EC (OJ L 295, 21.11.2018, p. 39, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2018/1725/oj). and delivered formal comments on 13 September 2024.(23)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Farm Sustainability Data Network Committee,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

SECTION 4AMOUNT PAYABLE TO MEMBER STATES

Article 13Duly completed farm returns1.For the purposes of Article 19(1), point (a), of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, a farm return is duly completed when its content is factually accurate, reliable and verifiable, and the data contained therein are recorded and presented in accordance with the form and layout set out in Annex VIII to this Regulation.2.By way of derogation from paragraph 1, in order to be considered duly completed, farm returns data during the period for reporting years 2025, 2026 and 2027 shall contain the data of the tables set out in Annex VIII, taking into account the exemptions referred to in Annex IX.

Article 14Eligible number of farm returns for the payment1.The total number of duly completed and submitted farm returns per Member State, referred to in Article 5a(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, that are eligible for the payment of the amount payable to each Member States shall not exceed the total number of returning holdings laid down for that Member State in Annex II to this Regulation.2.Where Member States have more than one FSDN division, the number of duly completed and submitted farm returns per FSDN division that are eligible for payment may be up to 20 % higher than the number laid down for the FSDN division concerned in Annex II, 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.However, farm returns from an FSDN division with a higher number of submitted farm returns than laid down for that FSDN division in Annex II shall not be considered to be eligible for the payment in an FSDN division for which less than 80 % of the required number of returning holdings is submitted by the Member State.

Article 15Payment of the amount1.The amount payable to each Member State, referred to in Article 19(1), point (a), of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, shall be paid in two instalments:(a)a prefinancing payment corresponding to 50 % of the total amount established on the basis of Articles 16 and 17 of this Regulation that shall be made at the beginning of each reporting year;(b)the balance payment shall be paid after the delivered farm returns have been verified and deemed by the Commission to have been duly completed.2.The amount paid to each Member State shall contribute to any of the following actions: due completion of the farm returns, improvements of data delivery timings, processes, systems, procedures and overall quality of the farm returns.3.The Commission reserves the right to recover any amounts unduly paid.

Article 16Amount payable to Member States1.The amount payable to each Member State, referred to in Article 19(1), point (a), of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, shall be fixed at EUR 636 per farm return.2.If the 80 % thresholds referred to in Article 19(1), point (a), of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 are neither met at the level of an FSDN division, nor at the level of the Member State concerned, the reduction referred to in that provision shall be applied only at the Member State level.

Article 17Amount payable to Member States for reporting years 2025, 2026 and 20271.By way of derogation from Article 16(1) of this Regulation, for the reporting years 2025, 2026 and 2027, the amount payable to each Member State referred to in Article 19(1), point (a), of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 is the maximum amounts set out in Annex X to this Regulation. This amount consists of:(a)an amount established based on the need for the delivery of the data laid down in the tables A to M in Annex VIII to this Regulation ("FADN data") with the exception of the variables listed in Annex IX to this Regulation;(b)an amount established based on the need for improvements of data delivery timings, processes, systems, procedures and overall quality of the farm returns;(c)an amount established based on the need for the delivery of all FSDN data, with the exception of FADN data, in accordance with the exemptions set out in Annex IX to this Regulation.2.If, for a Member State, the total number of duly completed farm returns delivered within the deadline laid down in Article 11 is lower than the maximum number of returning holdings laid down for that Member State in Annex II, the amounts referred to in paragraph 1, points (a) and (c), shall be reduced proportionately.However, in accordance with Article 19(1), point (a), of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, where the total number of duly completed and delivered farm returns in respect of an FSDN division or a Member State is less than 80 % on the returning holdings laid down in Annex II to this Regulation, a reduction shall be applied to the amounts referred to in paragraph 1, points (a) and (c), of this Article.3.For FSDN data, with the exception of existing FADN data, as referred to in paragraph 1, point (c), if a Member State delivers, as a part of a farm return, a table where data is missing, such farm return shall, by derogation to Article 13(2), be considered as duly completed. However, the amount provided for in paragraph 1, point (c), shall be reduced by EUR 21 per incomplete table, taking into account the exemptions set out in Annex IX.4.For FADN data referred to in paragraph 1, point (a), if a Member State delivers, as a part of a farm return, a table where data is missing, the amount payable for the farm return containing the incomplete table will not be allocated.5.If a Member State delivers, for the reporting years 2025 or 2026, as a part of a farm return, a table with data that is only required for the reporting year 2027 in accordance with Annex IX, an additional amount of EUR 21 shall be paid to the Member State for each table delivered in advance.The maximum annual amounts for advance deliveries of data due according to Annex IX for reporting year 2027 are set out in Annex X under the heading "Reserve for advance deliveries". If the total amount resulting from application of the first subparagraph of this paragraph is greater than the maximum amount of the reserve for advance deliveries laid down in Annex X, the amount per table shall be reduced proportionally to ensure that the total amount does not exceed the maximum annual amount laid down in Annex IX.

ANNEX IIIModels and methods for the preparation of the selection plan referred to in Article 3(1)Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 requires each Member State to draw up a plan for the selection of returning holdings that ensures a representative sample of the field of survey. To ensure representativeness of FSDN data for its field of survey on a division level, no cluster of FSDN divisions shall be applied in the selection plan.Similarly, all relevant types and sizes of farming represented in the integrated farm statistics (IFS) census or survey are to be covered at the level of detail which provides representative results on important farm groups, within the limits of the sample size. Given the currently available organisational and technical solutions at the Commission level to provide weighted results for the field of survey of FSDN, a FSDN sample delivered by Member States to the Commission is not to under- or overrepresent major characteristics of farms in the field of survey significantly. This includes also farming methods such as organic farming and characteristics of farms such as part of the activity dedicated to beekeeping. In cases of a non-random selection of sample farms (returning holdings) for FSDN, the selection procedure is to aim at avoiding bias and provide suitable samples for the purpose of FSDN, in particular, for a proper assessment of income of the surveyed farms. Separate clusters are to refer clearly to general and principal types of farming and/or particular types of farming specialisations to identify them univocally based on the classification, with particular regard to types of farming of particular importance in the Member State.The data referred to in Article 5a(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 shall be notified to the Commission on the basis of the following structure:1.FACT-SHEET

ANNEX IVParticular types of farming specialisations and their correspondence with general and principal types of farming referred to in Article 4The following definitions apply:(a)Standard output (SO) is the standard value of gross production. The SO is used for classifying farms according to the Union farm typology (in which the type of farming is defined by main production activities) and for determining economic farm size.(b)Standard output coefficient (SOC) is the average monetary value of gross production of each agricultural variable referred to in Article 6(1), corresponding to the average situation in a given region, per unit of production. SOCs are calculated at farm-gate price, in euro per hectare of crop or euro per head of livestock (exceptions apply for mushrooms in euro per 100 m2, poultry in euro per 100 heads and bees in euro per hive). VAT, taxes and subsidies are not included in the farm-gate price. SOCs are updated at least every time a European survey on the structure of agricultural holdings is conducted.(c)Total SO of a holding is the sum of the individual production units of a specific holding multiplied by their respective SOC.1.PARTICULAR TYPES OF FARMING SPECIALISATIONThe particular types of farming specialisation are defined by two features:(a)The nature of the variables concerned;The variables refer to the relevant list of variables surveyed in the IFS data collections: they are indicated by using the codes presented in the table of correspondence in Part 2.1. of this Annex or by a code regrouping several of those variables as set out in Part 2.2. of this AnnexThe variables SO_CLND019 (Other root crops n.e.c.), SO_CLND037 (Plants harvested green from arable land), SO_CLND049 (Fallow land), SO_CLND073_085 (Kitchen gardens and other UAA under glass or high accessible cover n.e.c.), SO_CLND051 (Pasture and meadow, excluding rough grazing), SO_CLND052 (Rough grazings), SO_CLND053 (Permanent grassland no longer used for production purposes and eligible for the payment of subsidies), SO_CLVS001 (Bovine animals less than 1 year old), SO_CLVS014 (Other sheep), SO_CLVS017 (Other goats) and SO_CLVS018 (Piglets, live weight of under 20 kg) are used only under certain conditions (see point 5 of Annex VI)..(b)The conditions determining the class limits;Unless otherwise indicated, these conditions are expressed as fractions of the total SO of the holding.All conditions indicated for particular types of farming specialisation have to be met cumulatively in order for the holding to be classified under the related particular type of farming specialisation.Specialist holdings – crop products

Size classes II and III; III and IV; IV and V; III to V; VI and VII; VIII and IX; X and XI; XII to XIV; or X to XIV can be grouped together.ANNEX VIStandard Output Coefficients (SOCs) referred to in Article 61.DEFINITION AND PRINCIPLES FOR CALCULATION OF SOCs(a)The standard output (SO), standard output coefficient (SOC) and total SO of a holding are defined as laid down in Annex IV of this Regulation.(b)Production periodThe SOCs correspond to a production period of 12 months.For crop products and livestock products for which the period of production is less than or exceeds 12 months, a SOC corresponding to growth or production in a 12-month period is calculated.(c)Basic data and reference periodThe SOCs are determined on the basis of the production per unit and the farm-gate price referred to in the definition of SOC in Annex IV to this Regulation. To this end, the basic data are collected in the Member States for a reference period defined in Article 4 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1417Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1417 of 13 March 2024 supplementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 setting up the Farm Sustainability Data Network with rules for annual income determination, holding sustainability analysis and access to data for research purposes, and repealing Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1198/2014 (OJ L, 2024/1417, 24.5.2024, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_del/2024/1417/oj)..(d)Units(1)Physical units:(a)the SOCs for crop variables are determined on the basis of area expressed in hectares.(b)for mushrooms, the SOCs 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 FSDN, such SOCs 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.(c)the SOCs relating to livestock variables are determined by head.(d)exceptions apply for poultry, for which SOC are determined in terms of 100 heads, and for bees, for which they are determined by hive.(2)Monetary units and rounding:The basic data for determining the SOCs and the calculated SOs are established in EUR. For the Member States not taking part in the Economic and Monetary Union, the SOCs are converted into EUR using the average exchange rates for the reference period as defined in point 1(c) of this Annex. These average exchange rates are calculated based on the official exchange rates published by the Commission (Eurostat).The SOCs may be rounded to the nearest EUR 5 where appropriate.2.BREAKDOWN OF SOCs(a)By crop and livestock variablesThe SOCs are determined for all the agricultural variables corresponding to the headings for the application of SOCs listed in Table 2.1. in Annex IV of this Regulation.(b)Geographical breakdownThe SOCs are determined at least on the basis of geographical units which are usable for the IFS and for the FSDN. 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 CouncilRegulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on the establishment of a common classification of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) (OJ L 154, 21.6.2003, p. 1, ELI: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2003/1059/oj).. These units are described as a regrouping of NUTS 3 regions. Areas with natural constraints are not considered as a geographical unit.No SOC is determined for variables which are not relevant in the region concerned.3.COLLECTION OF DATA FOR DETERMINING SOCs(a)The basic data for determining SOCs are renewed at least each time a European survey on the structure of agricultural holdings is carried out in the form of a census as referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1091 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilRegulation (EU) 2018/1091 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 July 2018 on integrated farm statistics and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1166/2008 and (EU) No 1337/2011 (OJ L 200, 7.8.2018, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2018/1091/oj)..(b)When the IFS may be carried out as sample survey as referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1091, the updating of the SOCs shall be carried out:(a)either by renewing the basic data in a manner similar to that specified in point (a),(b)or by applying a coefficient of change whereby SOCs 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 variable and region, that have occurred since the last reference period, as referred to in Article 4 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1417.4.EXECUTIONThe Member States are responsible, in accordance with this Annex, for collecting the basic data needed for calculating the SOCs and for calculating them, for converting them into EUR and for collecting the data required for applying the updating method, as appropriate. Member States shall transmit the data and metadata to the Commission using a technical format specified by the Commission (Eurostat). The data and metadata shall be provided to the Commission (Eurostat) through the single entry point services. At the request of the Commission, Member States shall provide explanations on calculations of the SOC to be used by the Commission to ensure coherence of the SOC calculation methodology throughout the Union and to propose adjustments to that calculation methodology.5.TREATMENT OF SPECIAL CASESThe following specific rules are laid down for the calculation of SOCs for certain variables and for calculating the total SO of the holding:(a)Fallow landThe SOC relating to fallow land is taken into account when calculating the total SO of the holding only when there are other positive SOCs on that holding.(b)Kitchen gardensSince the produce of kitchen gardens is normally intended for the holder’s own consumption and not for sale, the SOCs for kitchen gardens are regarded as equal to zero.(c)LivestockFor livestock the variables are split by category of age. The output corresponds to the value of growth of the animal during the time spent in the category i.e. it corresponds to the difference between the value of the animal when it leaves the category and its value when it enters the category (named also the replacement value).(d)Bovine animals less than 1 year oldSOCs 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 SOCs relating to the surplus number of bovine animals under one year are taken into account. There is only one SOC relating to bovine animals less than 1 year old irrespective of the sex of the animal.(e)Other sheep and other goatsSOCs relating to other sheep are taken into account when calculating the total SO of the holding only when there are no breeding female sheep on the holding.SOCs relating to other goats are taken into account when calculating the total SO of the holding only when there are no breeding female goats on the holding.(f)PigletsSOCs 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)ForageIf there are no grazing livestock (i.e. bovine, sheep or goats) on the holding, the forage (i.e. roots, 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 VIIOther gainful activities directly related to the holding referred to in Article 71.DEFINITION OF THE OTHER GAINFUL ACTIVITIES (OGA) DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE HOLDINGThe gainful activities directly related to the holding other than the agricultural 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 for these purposes mean active work; pure financial investments are 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 and olive oil production are regarded as agricultural activities if the bought-in proportion of wine or olive oil is not 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.2.ESTIMATION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE OTHER GAINFUL ACTIVITIES DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE HOLDINGThe 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 1307/2013Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing rules for direct payments to farmers under support schemes within the framework of the common agricultural policy and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 637/2008 and Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 (OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 608, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2013/1307/oj).:3.CLASSES REFLECTING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE OGA DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE HOLDINGHoldings 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 VIIIDefinition of the variables, form and layout of the farm return and transmission frequencies referred to in Article 10The data to be compiled is transmitted annually.The data shall be compiled following an accountancy-based principle, which means to fill in FSDN data with the most updated and reliable information on a specific variable, derived firstly from a systematic and regular recording of transactions and activities of the farm, based primarily on its source documents (such as invoices, delivery/dispatch notes, soil or other laboratory analysis).As set out in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, the information can be compiled from other data sources as well as using data compilation methods or innovative approaches for data sharing and compiling.In case source documents or other data sources are not available, the information should be derived as much as possible from other available quantifications, which can include modelling results.Other qualitative or quantitative information should be compiled based on standardised classifications.The data to be compiled is classified by table and broken down into groups, categories and columns. The convention used to refer to a specific data field is:<table code>.<group>.<category code>(.<other specific category codes).columnWith the conversion to FSDN, tables are indicated by a code based on the following rules:tables codes with one digit: FADN tables existing before reporting year 2025.tables codes with two digits: new FSDN tables introduced from reporting year 2025.tables codes with three digits: new FSDN tables introduced from reporting year 2025 related to the same topic.The order of the tables in Annex VIII to this Regulation reflects the order of the topics indicated in Annex -I of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009.Specific data values are captured at column level. In the tables 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";M.S.1150.1.2.V (column V of the group S, category 1150 with other specific category codes 1 and 2 from table M) represents the subsidy value of "Basic Income Support for Sustainability – based on payments entitlements" that is financed solely from the Union budget and is granted per ha.When a value is not relevant or missing for any particular holding, do not enter value "0".For tables, the first table shows the high-level matrix for groups and columns. The second table sets out the breakdown for categories where each category is represented by one or more codes and sub-codes.The data in a farm return shall be provided in accordance with the following rules:financial values: are expressed in monetary terms without VAT and without taking into account grants and subsidiesGrants and subsidies are understood to be all forms of direct aid from public funds which have resulted in a specific receipt., which are recorded separately, in EUR or in national monetary units. However, for national currencies where the unit represents a low relative value compared to EUR, it may be agreed between the liaison agency of a Member State concerned and the Commission to express the values in hundreds or thousands of national currency units;physical quantities: in quintals (1 q = 100 kg) except for eggs, which will be expressed in thousands and wine and related products which will be expressed in hectolitres;areas: in ares (1 a = 100 m2), except for mushrooms which will be expressed in square metres of total cropped area and except in table M "Subsidies", where basic units are to be registered in ha;average livestock numbers: at least to two decimal places, except for poultry and rabbits, which are to be given in whole numbers, and bees which are to be expressed in number of occupied bee hives;labour units: at least to two decimal places.For each table category and column value, further definitions and instructions are set out below the table concerned.

A.ID.Identification of the holdingA number is assigned to each returning holding when it is selected for the first time. The holding retains this number for the duration of its inclusion in the FSDN network. A number once assigned shall not be 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 shall be assigned to it. A change in the type of farming practised on the holding does not require an assignment of a new number. Where confusion with any other returning holding may result from the holding keeping the number it has (e.g. when new regional subdivisions are created), the number shall be changed. A table showing the equivalence of old and new numbers is to be forwarded to the Commission by the Member State concerned.The holding number comprises three groups of indications as follows:A.ID.10.R. FSDN 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 shall be based on the common system of classification of the regions, referred to as the nomenclature of territorial statistical units (NUTS) established by the Commission (Eurostat) in cooperation with the national institutes for statistics.In any case, the Member State concerned shall 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.

The term "labour" includes all persons who have been engaged on work on the farm during the reporting year. However, some data are to be provided also for persons who have done this work on behalf of another person or undertaking (external workers whose costs are included 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 to be 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 code 2010 "Contractual work") and as a cost (table H code 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 code 1020 "Contract work and machinery hire").The following groups of information and categories of labour are to be distinguished:C.UR.Unpaid regular labourUnpaid 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 reporting year participated (outside normal holidays) for at least a whole day of each week.A person employed regularly on a farm, but engaged for a limited period in the reporting year due to special reasons, is nevertheless entered (for the number of hours 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 wine 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.Holder(s)/manager(s)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.Holder(s)/not manager(s)Person who assumes economic and legal responsibility for the holding without undertaking its day-to-day management.C.UR.30.Manager(s)/not holder(s)Person who undertakes day-to-day management of the holding without assumption of economic and legal responsibility for it.C.UR.50.Other unpaid regular labourRegular unpaid labour not included in the preceding categories also includes foreman and sub-managers not responsible for management of the whole farm.C.UC.Unpaid non-regular labourC.UC.60.Unpaid labour which has not worked regularly on the holding during the accounting year is aggregated under this category.C.PR.Paid regular labourLabour 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.10.Holder(s)/manager(s)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.PR.20.Holder(s)/not manager(s)Person who assumes economic and legal responsibility for the holding without undertaking its day-to-day management.C.PR.70.Paid managerSalaried person responsible for the day-to-day management of the holding.C.PR.50.OtherAll 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 farmC.PC.Paid non-regular labourC.PC.60.Paid labour which did not regularly work on the holding during the accounting year (including piece workers) is aggregated under this category.C.EXExternalsC.EX.80.ExternalsThis group refers to workers recruited via third parties (e.g., temporary employment agencies). External workers are not part of the farm’s payroll; nevertheless, they are managed by the holder/manager. These workers may be regular or non-regular.COLUMNS IN TABLE CNumber of persons (column P)The number of persons shall be indicated in the categories where they can appear (categories 50 and 60 from the groups "unpaid regular labour" UR or "paid regular labour" PR and 80 from the group "externals" EX).Gender (column G)Gender shall be specified for the holder(s), 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).

It shall refer to the time devoted to the work of the holding. In the case of less able workers the time worked shall be reduced in proportion to their capacities. The time worked by piece-work labour is estimated by dividing the total amount paid for the work by the hourly wage of a worker employed on a time basis.Annual work units (column W1)Regularly employed work force is converted into annual work units. The number of annual work units is not recorded for non-regular labour (category 50 of both unpaid UC and paid PC labour) and for category 80 externals EX. 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 their 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 their 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 shall be reduced in proportion to their capacities.Share of work for OGA in % of annual time worked (column Y2)The share of work for OGA in terms of time worked is compulsory for all categories.

They are explained hereafter.There is only one column (V) value.Valuation methodsThe 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	3010, 5010, 7005 if tradeable
Historical cost	nominal or original cost of an asset when acquired	2010, 3020, 3030, 4010, 7005 if non-tradeable
Book value	value at which an asset is carried on a balance sheet	1005, 1040, 8010

D.OV.Opening valuationOpening 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.Accumulated depreciationAccumulated depreciation is the sum of depreciation of assets from the start of its life until the end of the previous period.D.DY.Depreciation of the current yearSystematic 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 shall be communicated to the Commission in due time for the set-up of the computerised delivery and control system referred to in Article 11(1) of this Regulation.D.IP.Investments/PurchasesTotal 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 to be 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 shall be added to the value of the fixed assets given under codes 2010 to 8010 of table D "Assets".D.S.Investment subsidiesCurrent portion of all subsidies received (in previous or current accounting years) for assets recorded in this table.D.SA.SalesTotal sales of assets during the accounting year.D.CV.Closing valuationClosing valuation is the value of assets at the end of the accounting year.CommentsFor items 3010 and 5010 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".

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 shall be included in the farm return. The proportion of the use of private cars corresponding to their use for farm purposes is also to be included.In calculating costs relating to the output of the accounting year, the purchases and farm use during the year shall 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 shall 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 shall be indicated in Table D under the code 1040 Inventories, except for costs accruing to growing permanent and standing crops which should be registered to 2010 Biological assets — plants.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 is not to be treated as a farm cost. Instructions on depreciation are set out 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) shall not be entered as farm costs, and the corresponding receipts shall 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.Wages and social security costs for paid labourThis item includes the following:salaries and wages actually paid in cash to wage earners irrespective of the basis of remuneration (piece work 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 shall 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) shall not appear in the farm return.Allowances (in cash or in kind) paid to retired paid workers no longer employed on the holding shall not be entered under this item but under the code "Other farming overheads".1020.Contract work and machinery hireThis item includes the following:total expenditure in respect of work on the farm carried out by agricultural contractors. This may include 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 shall be excluded. This amount (if necessary by estimation) shall 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, shall 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 shall be recorded under the relevant codes (codes 1030 "Current upkeep of machinery and equipment" and 1040 "Motor fuels and lubricants").1021.Contract workCost of contract workers not including the cost of the use of equipment. It includes the cost of workers recruited via third parties (e.g., temporary employment agencies).1022.Machinery hireCost of hiring and leasing machines operated by the farm's labour and cost of service providers including both contract workers and the supply of machinery.1030.Current upkeep of machinery and equipmentCost 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.Motor fuels and lubricantsThis 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.Car expensesWhere 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.FeedstuffsUsed 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 pigs
2040.	Purchased feedstuffs for poultry and other small animals

Farm-produced feedstuffs used on farms:

2050.	Farm-produced feedstuffs for grazing stock (equines, ruminants)
2060.	Farm-produced feedstuffs for pigs
2070.	Farm-produced feedstuffs for poultry and other small animals

If for any category of animals, more than one type of housing is used, only the type of housing where the majority of the animals in that animal category are housed shall be reported. Data shall be reported in the farm returns annually. However, data may be compiled or collected at a lower frequency, provided that this is done at least once every five years.Description of housing systemsTied stalls: Tied stalls are animal houses where the animals are tied to their places and are not allowed to move freely. These types of housing can contain manure separated in the form of solid dung and liquid manure when the floors of the stalls are on sloping concrete with bedding (e.g. straw, chopped straw, sawdust) and a shallow gutter at the rear of the animals to collect part of the faeces and the urine, whilst part is regularly removed as solid manure. In some cases, the gutter is equipped with a drainage pipe to collect seepage or there can be a deeper channel instead of a gutter to collect and store the liquid fraction. The manure is normally removed mechanically outside the building as solid dung/farmyard manure. They can also contain manure in the form of slurry when the floors of the stalls are level concrete with a channel covered by a grid at the rear of the animals or fully slatted floor to collect faeces and urine as slurry. In this case, the manure and urine drop down below the floor into a pit, where they form slurry.Loose and cubicle housing Loose housing refers to animal houses where the animals are allowed to move freely and have free access over the whole area of the building or pen (a small enclosure for livestock). Loose housing may contain manure in the solid form when there is a concrete floor which is cleaned more frequently by scraping in the area where the animals stand to feed and/or drink. It is common for a deep layer of bedding (usually straw) to be spread over the floor. This bedding is removed from the building, typically once or twice per winter, as farmyard manure. This type of housing also includes cubicle housing, which are buildings.Outdoor Includes pasture, free range and paddock.Slatted floor housing Refers to animal houses where the floors are completely slatted. The whole floor has slats where the manure and urine drop down below the floor into a pit, where they form slurry.Partially slatted floor Refers to animal houses where the floors are partially slatted. Part of the floor has slats where the manure and urine drop down below the floor into a pit, where they form slurry.Deep litter for pigs: housing on straw-beds (deep litter-loose housing) where the floor is covered with a thick layer of litter (straw, peat, sawdust, or other similar material binding the manure and urine) that is removed only at intervals that may be several months apart.Other types of housing Types of housing different from the ones mentioned above.Free range Free range is a method of farming husbandry where the animals, for at least part of the day, can roam freely outdoor, rather than being confined in an enclosure for 24 hours each day.Deep litter for poultry laying hen housing on straw-beds (equivalent to deep litter-loose housing) where the floor is covered with a thick layer of litter (straw, peat, sawdust, or other similar material binding the manure) that is removed only at intervals that may be several months apart. A simple closed building that is thermally insulated and with forced ventilation or natural ventilation. At least a third of the floor area must be covered with bedding (e.g. chopped straw, wood shavings) and two thirds arranged as a pit covered with slats to collect droppings (waste voided by poultry) over the 13-15-month egg-laying period. Laying nests, feeders and water supply are placed over the slatted area to keep the litter dry.Aviary housing Aviaries are also called multi-level systems or percheries. They consist of a ground floor plus one or more levels of perforated platforms, from which manure cannot fall on birds below. At some point across the system there will be at least two levels available for birds. An aviary house is a construction with thermal insulation, forced ventilation and either natural or artificial light. They can be combined with free range and outside scratching area. Birds are kept in large groups and are free to move over the entire house area over multiple levels. The space is subdivided into different areas: feeding and drinking, sleeping and resting, scratching, egg laying. Because animals can use several levels, higher stock densities are allowed in comparison to the deep litter regime. Droppings are removed by manure belts or collected in a manure pit.Cages with manure belts Battery cages are animal housing systems where the laying hens are kept in cages, one or more in each, inside closed buildings with forced ventilation and with or without a lighting system. Birds are kept in tiered cages, usually made of steel wire, arranged in long rows. Droppings fall through the bottom of the cages and are collected and stored underneath in a deep pit or channel or are removed by a belt or scraper system. The droppings from laying hens in battery systems are not mixed with other material such as litter and may be dried or have water added to make the manure easier to manage. Battery cages with manure belt are battery cages where the manure is removed mechanically by a belt below the cages to outside the building to form solid dung/farmyard manure.J.

Table M "SUBSIDIES" covers grants and subsidies received by agricultural holdings from public bodies, financed by both the national and the Union budget. It also covers administrative information on good agricultural and environmental conditions of land.GROUPS OF INFORMATION IN TABLE MSSubsidiesGrants 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).AIAdministrative informationCertain obligations of Member States relating to good agricultural and environmental conditions of land (GAEC standards 2, and 9) are 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 GAEC standards are expressed in hectares.The type (T) refers to the application of the GAEC at farm level and is to be selected from the list below:

The area is to be given in ares (100 ares = 1 hectare).ALApplication of limeFor each entry, the quantity (Q) is to be recorded. The quantity shall be indicated in quintals (100 kg).Categories of farming practices100Conventional tillageTillage which involves inversion of the soil, normally with a mouldboard or a disc plough as the primary tillage operation, followed by secondary tillage with a disc harrow.200No tillagePractice in which the crop is sown directly into soil not tilled since the harvest of the previous crop (also referred to as direct seeding). Weed control is achieved by the use of herbicides and/or appropriate mulching and other techniques like intermediate crops or under-sowing and stubble is retained for erosion control. No tillage is applied between harvest and sowing. Sod seeding practices shall be recorded in this category.300Conservation (low) tillageConservation (low) tillage refers to tillage practices or system that do not entail soil inversion. This category includes tillage methods that involve low degrees of soil disturbance (e.g., minimum tillage, subsoil tillage, non-inversion, or surface inversion), as well as strip tillage or zonal tillage, tined tillage or vertical tillage and ridge tillage.400Winter Soil cover on arable landIt is the area of arable land that is covered (not bare) during winter. It includes:Area cultivated with regular winter cropsArea cultivated with cover crops, catch crops and/or any plants that are sown specifically to manage soil erosion, fertility, and quality, water, weeds, pests, diseases, biodiversity and wildlife, between harvest and sowing, during winter.Arable land covered with the plant residues and stubble of the previous crop season and/or land covered with mulch (loose covering with material that is either natural such as litter, cut grass, straw, foliage, pruning residues, bark or sawdust, or artificial such as paper or synthetic fibres).500Herbaceous cover in permanent cropsArea covered by herbaceous vegetation, either spontaneous or planted (including cover crops), on utilised agricultural area occupied by permanent crops. It includes herbaceous cover between the rows for vineyards and orchards planted in rows, as well as the area between trees in orchards not planted in row. To be accounted for, the herbaceous cover shall have been maintained for a period of at least 6 months during the reporting year.600Use of compostCompost is the product of composting, a biological process that submits biodegradable waste to anaerobic or aerobic decomposition and that results in a product used on land or for the production of growing media or substrates. Compost is commonly prepared by decomposing plant and food waste, recycling organic materials, and manure.700Digestates or nutrients-rich fractionsApplication of digestates or nutrients-rich fractions recovered from manure. The digestate is a residue that is not decomposed in the anaerobic digestion process such as the one for the production of biogas. Different types of fractions and digestate are included in this category such as manure liquid fraction, manure solid fractions, manure only-digestate, co-digestate, digestate liquid fractions, manure/digestate mineral concentrates.800Green manuringThe total area planted with crops used for green manuring shall be reported. Green manure crops are plants that are grown, cut and incorporated into the soil to enhance soil fertility. Mustard, radish and some leguminous crops are used as green manure. Incorporation of straw or crop residues from the main crops shall not be considered green manuring.900Use of sewage sludgeResidual, semi-solid material that is produced as a by-product during sewage treatment of industrial or municipal wastewater.1000Application of limeApplication to soil of calcium (Ca)- and magnesium (Mg)-rich materials in various forms, including loam, chalk, limestone, burnt lime or hydrated lime.

Application techniques include box spreaders, tank wagons, tow hoses, and irrigation systems. Broadcasting requires the least amount of energy and time, and results in a uniform application pattern.Immediate incorporation of manure consists of techniques which allow an immediate incorporation of solid dung or slurry. For effective abatement, the incorporation is to happen as rapidly as possible. This means that the applied manure is directly incorporated by a manure or slurry spreading machine or the spreading machine is immediately followed by another machine incorporating the manure into the soil (chisel or disk ploughing). The 4-hour threshold may be considered as the approximate time limit to distinguish immediate incorporation.160Liquid manure/slurry band spread trailing hose; 170 Liquid manure/slurry band spread trailing shoeBand spreading is the placement of fertiliser in a concentrated layer or location (band) in the soil, commonly 8-15 cm below the surface. Fertiliser bands may be placed with the seed, below the seed, or both.Trailing hose: Slurry is discharged at ground level to grass or arable land through a series of flexible hoses. Application between the rows of a growing crop is feasible.Trailing shoe: Slurry is normally discharged through rigid pipes which terminate in metal "shoes" designed to ride along the soil surface, parting the crop so that slurry is applied directly to the soil surface and below the crop canopy. Some types of trailing shoes are designed to cut a shallow slit in the soil to aid infiltration.180Liquid Manure/slurry injection shallow/open slitShallow injection: the application of liquid manure by placement in shallow, vertical slots, typically about 50 mm deep and 25-30 cm apart, cut into the soil by a tine or disc; they are more commonly used on grassland.190Liquid Manure/slurry injection deep/closed slitDeep injection: the application of slurry or liquid manure by placement in deep, vertical slots, typically about 150 mm deep, cut into the soil by specially designed tines; the tines are fitted with lateral wings which aid the dispersion in the soil; typically, these are used on arable land as they have an increased risk of physically damaging the grass swards.200Solid manure used in biogas plant (own produced); 210 Liquid manure/slurry used in own biogas plant (own produced)Manure which was used for energy production in biogas plants.220Export of solid manure from the farmIt is the quantity of solid manure exported from the farm for direct use as fertiliser or intended for industrial processing regardless of whether it is sold, exchanged or given away for free.

Each holding has to record the presence (P) of landscape features on the farm area.The codes to be used:0No1YesThe recording of the area of landscape features is optional. The area (TA) is to be indicated in ares (100 ares = 1 hectare).Description of categories100TerracesTerraced hillsides are anthropogenic structures created to reduce the risk of erosion, consisting of one or more "steps" (steep sections covered permanent woody or grassy vegetation or stone walls) and "land blocks" (flat sections that are used for agricultural production, separated by the steps). Herbaceous vegetation is considered to be an integral part of terraces.110Hedgerows, individual or group of trees, trees rowsIncludes isolated trees, trees in line, hedgerows, riparian woody vegetation (along water course), or any narrow strips (<20 m) of land covered by trees and shrubs within an agricultural context. This type may also include small groups of trees, field copses, or any small groups of woody semi-natural vegetation in an agricultural context. In case there is a grass (herb) layer under the woody vegetation, the woody feature is considered to incorporate the underlying grass layer too. The maximum area for a woody landscape feature is 0,5 ha.120Field margins, patches or buffer stripsField margins, patches or buffer strips consist of permanent semi-natural herbaceous vegetation (typically grass and/or perennial herbs) which are in the agricultural context, and which are not directly used for grazing, or fodder production. This may include field margins, buffer strips (along ditches or ponds), or any other small pieces of semi-natural herbaceous vegetation as long as they are between arable or permanent crops fields. The minimum width of this type of landscape feature is 1 m (for ensuring persistency). Nevertheless, this type of landscape feature excludes parcels of actively managed grasslands (used for grazing or fodder production), and large patches of natural and semi-natural grasslands (wider than 20 m). Furthermore, farm tracks with grass, and grass strips between the rows of vineyards/orchards are also excluded (they shall be recorded under variable 680) and "grassy margins" that are next to grassland patches shall not be registered, either. Permanent grass/herbs landscape features do not include the grass layer under a woody feature, nor wet marsh vegetation. It includes temporary herbaceous, which consists of narrow strips of cropland planted with non-productive crops or flower-rich fallow (weed) vegetation inside arable land or permanent crops (typically along field margins), deliberately sown by the farmers to support biodiversity.It excludes area in table I under categories 30100 (pasture and meadow), 30200 (rough grazing), 30300 (permanent grassland).130Ditches, 140 StreamsThis type includes small water courses within an agricultural context, including the open water surface of streams, ditches, and small channels and the adjacent marsh vegetation up to a maximum width of 20 m. Ditches that are dry at the time of observation may also be registered if the vegetation reveals a regular presence of water. Exclusions: Artificial constructions (channels with walls of concrete and subterranean constructions) are excluded.150Small ponds, 160 Small wetlandsThis type of landscape features includes small patchy landscape features characterized by wetlands and water bodies in an agricultural context up to a maximum size of 0,5 ha. The type also includes accumulations of still water formed naturally (e.g. wetlands, lakes, natural lagoons, seepage areas) or artificially (e.g. pits and waterholes). Small ponds may contain a core of open water and an adjacent wetland, characterized by marsh vegetation (e.g. reed or sedge beds) adapted to and dependent on the regular presence of surface water and high water levels. Exclusions: reservoirs lined with concrete or plastic and depressions used as landfills.170Stonewalls, 180 CairnsThis type of landscape features includes piles of rock or stone in an agricultural context, and terraced agricultural landscapes. Such features may be natural (e.g. secular stones) or man-made, often historical, objects (e.g. dry stone walls, clearance cairns, terraces). If trees and shrubs (liana) cover the stone walls, both features shall be registered.190Cultural featuresThis type of landscape features may include monuments, archaeological sites, cultural heritage objects (like shadoofs, burial mounds), historical/traditional buildings.

FL	Food/feed loss

On-farm loss of production for food and feed uses is the amount of farm produce initially intended for human or animal consumption that is discarded or lost (i.e. that it does not reach the market or it is not used as intended as food and/or feed). For crops, it comprises any loss occurred from the moment when products are already mature enough to be harvested, until the post-harvest phase, when products reach the farm gate.For live animals, it comprises any loss occurred from the moment animals are considered mature enough to be slaughtered until the products reach the farm gate.For animal products (milk and eggs), losses shall be counted from the moment milk has been drawn from the udder and eggs are laid by the bird.It includes:mature crops left unharvested (e.g. due to very low market prices or damages);products harvested and treated in-situ at farm (e.g., composted at farm, burnt), or discharged off-farm;products rejected by the buyer (e.g., due to quality and commercial requirements, overproduction) that return to the production site or are discharged;other losses occurred during storage, transportation, on-farm processing.It does not include:products initially intended for human consumption that are diverted to use as feed for livestock;non-marketed products consumed on farm or donated to charities, food banks or other similar channels.The categories are to be selected from the list below:
