(1)  The provision of information on less-favoured area (A2) and mountain area (A2a) is optional in case the municipality code (A1a) is sent for each holding. In case the municipality code (A1a) is not provided for the holding, the information on less-favoured area (A2) and mountain area (A2a) is obligatory.

(2)  Voluntary information.

(3)  Belgium, The Netherlands and Austria may include item G/1(c) ‘nuts’ under this heading.

(4)  Germany may merge headings 8(c), 8(d) and 8(e).

(5)  Optional for Member States that are able to provide an overall estimate for this characteristic at regional level.
