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

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 Network (1), 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 Council (2) 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 Council (3). 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) 2017/1939 (4), 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 Council (5) and Regulation (EU) 2021/2116 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), 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 Council (7) and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/138 (8) 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) 2017/46 (9).

(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) 2015/220 (10). 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 Council (11) and delivered formal comments on 13 September 2024.

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 15

Payment of the amount

1.   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 16

Amount payable to Member States

1.   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 17

Amount payable to Member States for reporting years 2025, 2026 and 2027

1.   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 III

Models 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 IV

Particular types of farming specialisations and their correspondence with general and principal types of farming referred to in Article 4

The 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 SPECIALISATION

The 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 Annex (1).

(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.

ANNEX VI

Standard Output Coefficients (SOCs) referred to in Article 6

1.   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 period

The 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 period

The 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) 2024/1417 (1).

(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 variables

The 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 breakdown

The 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 Council (2). 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 Council (3).

(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.   EXECUTION

The 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 CASES

The 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 land

The 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 gardens

Since 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)

Livestock

For 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 old

SOCs 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 goats

SOCs 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)

Piglets

SOCs 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)

Forage

If 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 VII

Other gainful activities directly related to the holding referred to in Article 7

1.   DEFINITION OF THE OTHER GAINFUL ACTIVITIES (OGA) DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE HOLDING

The 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 HOLDING

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 (1):

3.   CLASSES REFLECTING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE OGA DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE HOLDING

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

Definition of the variables, form and layout of the farm return and transmission frequencies referred to in Article 10

The 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).column

With 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 subsidies (1), 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.
