(2) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 385/2012 of 30 April 2012 on the farm return to be used for determining the incomes of agricultural holdings and analysing the business operation of such holdings (OJ L 127, 15.5.2012, p. 1).
ANNEX
‘ANNEX
FARM RETURN
I. LAYOUT OF FARM RETURN
The data to be collected is classified by table and broken down into groups, categories and columns. The convention used to refer to a specific data field is: <table letter>.<group>.<category>[.<category>].<column>.
Specific data values are captured at the column level. In the tables as set out in Section III, 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”). |
Tables are represented by one letter, groups by one or more letters, categories by numeric codes and columns by one or more letters.
In Section III, for tables A to M, the first table shows the high level matrix for groups and columns. The second table shows how this breaks down for categories where each category is represented by one or more codes and sub-codes.
For each table category and column value, further definitions and instructions are set out in Section III after the table concerned.
II. GENERAL DEFINITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
(a) |
The data in the farm return shall relate to a single agricultural holding and to a single accounting year of 12 consecutive months. |
(b) |
Data in the farm return concern exclusively the agricultural holding. These data refer to the agricultural activities of the holding and to the other gainful activities (OGA) directly related to the holding. Except these activities, nothing connected with any non-farming activities of the holder or of his family, or with any pension, inheritance, private bank accounts, property external to the agricultural holding, personal taxation, private insurance, etc., is to be taken into account in preparing the farm returns. |
(c) |
Data given in a farm return are to be taken from accounts consisting of entries made systematically and regularly throughout the accounting year. |
(d) |
The accountancy data are expressed in money terms without VAT. |
(e) |
The accountancy data in money terms are expressed without taking into account grants and subsidies. Grants and subsidies are understood to be all forms of direct aid from public funds which have resulted in a specific receipt (see description in Table M “SUBSIDIES”). |
(f) |
The data in a farm return should be given in the following units and with the following degrees of accuracy: — financial values: values in euro or in national monetary units without decimal. However, for national currencies where the unit represents a low relative value compared to the euro, it may be agreed between the liaison agency of the Member State in question and the staff of the Commission which manages the Farm Accountancy Data Network, to express the values in hundreds or thousands of national currency units, — physical quantities: weight in quintals (q = 100 kg) except in the case of eggs, which will be expressed in thousands; volume of liquid in hectolitres (including wine and related products), — areas: in ares, except in the case of mushrooms which will be expressed in square metres of total cropped area, — average livestock numbers: to two decimal places, — labour units: to two decimal places. |
(g) |
When a value is not relevant or missing for any particular holding, do not enter value “0”. |

A.ID. Identification of the holding
A number is assigned to each returning holding when it is selected for the first time. The holding retains this number permanently for the duration of its inclusion in the accountancy network. A number once assigned is never allotted to another holding.
However, where the holding undergoes a fundamental change, and in particular where this change is the result of a subdivision into two separate holdings or of a merger with another holding, it may be considered as a new holding. In this case a new number is to be assigned to it. A change in the type of farming practised on the holding does not call for a new number. Where confusion with any other returning holding might result from the holding keeping the number it has (e.g. when new regional subdivisions are created), the number should be changed. A table showing the equivalence of old and new numbers is then to be forwarded to the Commission.
The holding number comprises three groups of indications as follows:
|
A.ID.10.R. Division: a code number is to be given, corresponding to the code set in Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1291/2009 (1). |
|
A.ID.10.S. Subdivision: a code number is to be given. The subdivisions chosen should be based on the common system of classification of the regions, referred to as the nomenclature of territorial statistical units (NUTS) established by the Eurostat in cooperation with the national institutes for statistics. In any case, the Member State concerned will transmit to the Commission a table indicating, for each subdivision code used, the corresponding NUTS regions, as well as the corresponding region for which specific values of standard output are calculated. |
|
A.ID.10.H. Serial number of the holding. |
A.LO. Location of the holding
The location of the holding is given with two indications: the geo-reference (latitude and longitude) and the code of the NUTS level 3 territorial units.
|
A.LO.20. Latitude: degrees and minutes (within an arc of 5 minutes), columns DG and MI. |
|
A.LO.30. Longitude: degrees and minutes (within an arc of 5 minutes), columns DG and MI. Implementing rules to ensure the confidentiality of the data and practical guidelines will be specified in the instructions document. |
|
A.LO.40.N. The NUTS3 code means the code of the NUTS level 3 territorial unit where the holding is located. The latest version of the code as described in the Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) should be given. |
A.AI. Accounting information
|
A.AI.50.AO. Number of the accounting office: a code number is to be given. In each Member State, each accounting office should be given a unique number. The number of the accounting office which has dealt with the holding for this accounting year should be given. |
|
A.AI.60.C. Type of accounting: an indication is to be given on the type of accounting that the farm keeps. The following code numbers are to be used:
|
|
A.AI.70.DT. Date of closure of accounts: to be recorded in format “YYYY-MM-DD”, for example 2009-06-30 or 2009-12-31. |
A.TY. Typology
|
A.TY.80.W. National weight of the farm: the value of the extrapolating factor calculated by the Member State should be given. Values must be expressed with two decimals. |
|
A.TY.90.TF. Type of farming at the time of selection: holding type of farming code in accordance with Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1242/2008 (3) at the time of selection for the accounting year in question. |
|
A.TY.90.ES. Economic size at the time of selection: economic size class code of holding in accordance with Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1242/2008 at the time of selection for accounting year in question. |
A.CL. Classes
|
A.CL.100.C. Other gainful activities directly related to the holding: to be provided as a percentage band indicating the share of turnover (4) coming from the other gainful activities directly related to the holding in the total farm turnover. The following code numbers are to be used:
|
|
A.CL.110.C. Type of ownership/economic objective: an indication of what are the ownership and economic objectives of the holding should be given. The following code numbers should be used: 1. family farm: the holding uses the labour and capital of the holder/manager and his/her family and they are the beneficiaries of the economic activity; 2. partnership: the production factors for the holding are provided by several partners, at least some of whom participate in the work of the farm as unpaid labour. The benefits go to the partnership; 3. company with profit objective: the benefits are used to remunerate shareholders with dividends/profits. The holding is owned by the company; 4. company with non-profit objective: the benefits are used primarily to maintain employment or similar social objective. The holding is owned by the company. |
|
A.CL.120.C. Legal status: an indication should be given whether the holding is a legal person or not. The following code numbers are to be used:

Sectors in organic farming: when the holding applies both organic and other production methods, an indication of the sectors of production where the holding applies only organic production method should be given (multiple selections are allowed). The code numbers listed below are to be used. When the holding applies both organic and other production methods for all its sectors of production, the code “not applicable” should be used.
|
|
A.CL.150.C. Protected Designation of Origin/Protected Geographical Indication: an indication is to be given whether the holding produces agricultural products and/or foodstuffs protected by a Designation of Origin (PDO) or a Geographical Indication (PGI) or whether it produces agricultural products which are known to be used to produce foodstuffs protected by PDO/PGI, within the meaning of Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 (5). The following code numbers are to be used:
|
|
A.CL.151.C. Sectors with Protected Designation of Origin/Protected Geographical Indication: if the majority of the production of some specific sectors is made of products or foodstuffs protected by a PDO or a PGI or of products known to be used to produce foodstuffs protected by a PDO or a PGI, an indication of the sectors of production should be given (multiple selections are allowed). The code numbers listed below are to be used. When the holding produces some products or foodstuffs protected by a PDO or a PGI or some products known to be used to produce foodstuffs protected by a PDO or a PGI, but it does not concern the majority of production in each sector, the code “not applicable” should be used.
|
|
The items A.CL.150.C. Protected Designation of Origin/Protected Geographical Indication and A.CL.151.C are optional for the Member States. If they are applied by the Member State, they should be filled in for all sample farms of the Member State. If A.CL.150.C is applied, A.CL.151.C should be applied as well. |

Land of holdings held in common by two or more partners should be recorded as owner-occupied, rented or sharecropped according to the arrangement in force between the partners.
Utilised agricultural area (UAA) is the total area taken up by arable land, permanent grassland, permanent crops and kitchen gardens used by the holding regardless of the type of tenure. Common land used by the holding is not included.
The following groups of information and categories should be used:
B.UO. UAA for owner farming
B.UO.10.A Utilised agricultural area (arable land, permanent grassland, permanent crops and kitchen gardens) of which the farmer is the owner, tenant for life or leaseholder and/or UAA held on similar terms. Includes land leased to others ready for sowing (crop code 11300).
B.UT. UAA for tenant farming
B.UT.20.A Utilised agricultural area (arable land, permanent grassland, permanent crops and kitchen gardens) worked by a person other than the owner, tenant for life or leaseholder, holding a tenancy on the said area (the rent is payable in cash and/or in kind; being generally fixed in advance, it does not normally vary with the farming results) and/or utilised agricultural area held on similar terms of tenure.
Rented area does not include land the harvest of which is bought as a standing crop. The sums paid for the purchase of standing crops should be given in table H under codes 2020 to 2040 (purchased feedstuffs) in the case of grassland or fodder crops and under code 3090 (other specific crop costs) in the case of marketable crops (products which are usually marketed). Marketable crops bought standing should be given without specifying the area in question (table H).
Land rented for less than one year on an occasional basis and the production thereof is treated in a similar way as land the harvest of which is bought as a standing crop.
B.US. UAA for sharecropping or other modes
B.US.30.A Utilised agricultural area (arable land, grassland and permanent pasture, permanent crops and kitchen gardens) farmed jointly by the grantor and the sharecropper on the basis of a sharecropping agreement and/or utilised agricultural area farmed on similar terms.

By labour is meant all persons who have been engaged on work on the farm during the accounting year (see hereafter). However, this does not include persons who have done this work on behalf of another person or undertaking (agricultural contract work, of which the costs appear in table H under code 1020).
In the case of mutual assistance between holdings, where this assistance consists of an exchange of work, the assistance received being equivalent in principle to the assistance given, the time worked by the farm labour and any related wages are specified in the farm return.
Sometimes assistance received is offset by assistance of another kind (e.g. aid received in the form of work is offset by the supply of machinery). When the exchange of services is on a limited scale, nothing is indicated in the farm return (in the above example, the aid received is not shown under labour; machinery costs, however, include the costs of making the equipment available). In exceptional cases, when the exchange of services is on a large scale, the procedure is one of the following:
(a) |
assistance received in the form of work is offset by a service of another kind (e.g. the supply of machinery): working time received is recorded as paid farm work (groups PR or PC depending on whether the labour is employed on the farm on a regular basis or otherwise); the value of the assistance given is recorded both as production under the corresponding category in other tables (in this example, table L category 2010 “Contractual work”) and as a cost (table H category 1010 “Wages and social security”); |
(b) |
assistance given in the form of work is offset by services of a different kind (e.g. the supply of machinery): in this situation the working time provided and any related wages are left out of consideration; the value of the service received is recorded as an input under the corresponding group in another table (in this example, table H group 1020 “Contract work and machinery hire”). |
The following groups of information and categories of labour are to be distinguished:
C.UR. Unpaid regular labour
Unpaid labour or labour which receives less remuneration (in cash or in kind) than the amount normally paid for the services rendered (such payment should not appear in farm costs) and which during the accounting year participated (outside normal holidays) for at least a whole day of each week.
A person employed regularly but who, for special reasons, has been engaged on the farm only for a limited period in the accounting year is nevertheless entered (for the number of hours actually worked) as regular labour.
The following cases or similar ones may arise:
(a) |
special production conditions on the farm for which labour is not required throughout the year: e.g. olive or vine holdings, and farms specialising in the seasonal fattening of animals or in the production of fruit and vegetables in the open; |
(b) |
absence from work other than for normal holidays, e.g. military service, illness, accident, maternity, extended leave, etc.; |
(c) |
joining or leaving the holding; |
(d) |
total cessation of work on the holding due to accidental causes (flood, fire, etc.). |
There are the following categories:
C.UR.10. Holder/manager
Person who assumes economic and legal responsibility for the holding and undertakes its day-to-day management. In the case of sharecropping, the sharecropper is indicated as holder/manager.
C.UR.20. Holder/not manager
Person who assumes economic and legal responsibility for the holding without undertaking its day-to-day management.
C.UR.30 Manager/not holder
Person who undertakes day-to-day management of the holding without assumption of economic and legal responsibility for it.
C.UR.40. Spouse(s) of holder(s)
C.UR.50. Other unpaid regular labour
Regular unpaid labour not included in the preceding categories includes also foreman and sub-managers not responsible for management of the whole farm.
C.UC. Unpaid casual labour
C.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 labour
Labour paid (in cash and/or in kind) on the normal scale for services rendered and which during the accounting year (excluding normal holidays) worked for at least one whole day per week for the holding.
The following categories are to be shown:
C.PR.70. Farm manager
Salaried person responsible for the day-to-day management of the holding.
C.PR.50. Others
All regular paid labour (except for the holding’s salaried manager) is aggregated under this group. Includes also foreman and sub-managers not responsible for management of the whole farm.
C.PC. Paid casual labour
C.PC.60. |
Paid labour which did not regularly work on the holding during the accounting year (including piece workers) is aggregated under this category. |
COLUMNS IN TABLE C
Number of persons (column P)
Where there are several holders, there may be more than one spouse. The number of spouses and the number of persons should be indicated in the categories where they can appear (categories 40 and 50 from the groups “unpaid regular labour” UR or “paid regular labour” PR).
Gender (column G)
The gender should be given only the holder(s) and/or manager(s), in the categories where they can appear (categories 10 to 30 and 70 from groups “regular unpaid labour” UR or “regular paid labour” PR). The gender is indicated by a code number, i.e.:
1. |
male; |
2. |
female. |
Year of birth (column B)
The year of birth should be given only for the holder(s) and/or manager(s) (categories 10 to 30 and 70 from groups “regular unpaid labour” UR or “regular paid labour” PR) using the four figures of the year of birth.
Agricultural training of the manager (column T)
The agricultural training should be given only the manager(s) (categories 10, 30 and 70 from groups “unpaid regular labour” UR or “paid regular labour” PR). The agricultural training is indicated by a code number, i.e.:
1. |
only practical agricultural experience; |
2. |
basic agricultural training; |
3. |
full agricultural training. |
Annual time worked (column Y1)
Time worked should be indicated in hours for all groups and categories. It should refer to the time actually devoted to the work of the holding. In the case of less able workers the time worked should be reduced in proportion to their capacities. The time worked by piecework labour is estimated by dividing the total amount paid for the work by the hourly wage of a worker employed on a time basis.
Total work force: number of annual units (column W1)
Regularly employed work force is converted into annual work units. The number of annual work unit is not recorded for casual labour (both unpaid casual UC and paid casual PC labour). One annual work unit is equivalent to one person working full-time on the holding. One person cannot exceed one work unit equivalent, even if his actual working time exceeds the norm for the region and type of holding. A person who does not work the whole year on the holding represents a fraction of an “annual unit”. The “annual work unit” of each such person is obtained by dividing his actual annual working time by the normal annual working time of a full-time worker in the region under consideration and on the same type of holding.
In the case of less able workers the annual work unit equivalent should be reduced in proportion to their capacities.
Share of work for other gainful activities directly related to the holding (OGA) in % of annual time worked (column Y2)
The share of work for OGA in terms of time worked is compulsory only for the casual labour (for both unpaid and paid casual labour). It is optional for the spouse(s) of the holder(s), the other unpaid regular labour, and the other paid regular labour. For each category concerned (40, 50, 60), it is given in % of hours worked during the accounting year.
Share of work for other gainful activities directly related to the holding (OGA) in % of annual work units (column W2)
The share of work for OGA in terms of annual work units is compulsory for all categories of labour except casual labour (both unpaid casual UC and paid casual PC labour). It is given in % of annual work unit for each category.
Work on an agricultural holding
Work on the holding includes all the work of organisation, supervision and execution, both manual and administrative, done in connection with the farm agricultural work and the work related to the Other Gainful Activities (OGA) directly related to the holding:
— |
Farm agricultural work
|
— |
Work for the Other Gainful Activities directly related to the holding
|
The following are not included in the work of the holding:
— |
work in production of fixed assets (construction or major repairs of buildings or machinery, planting of orchards, demolition of buildings, grubbing up of orchards, etc.), |
— |
work performed for the household of the holder or manager. |

Buildings belonging to the holder whatever the type of occupancy of the land. The heading must be completed and the amounts entered are subject to depreciation at column DY.
4010. Machinery and equipment
Tractors, motor cultivators, lorries, vans, cars, major and minor farming equipment. The heading must be completed and the amounts entered are subject to depreciation at column DY.
5010. Forest land including standing timber
Forest land in owner occupation included in the agricultural holding.
7010. Intangible assets — tradable
All intangible assets that can be easily bought or sold (e.g. quotas and rights when they are tradable without land and an active market exists).
7020. Intangible assets — non-tradable
All other intangible assets (e.g. software, licences, etc.). The heading must be completed and the amounts entered are subject to depreciation at column DY.
8010. Other non-current assets

Groups of information in Table D
The groups of information are: (OV) opening valuation, (AD) accumulated depreciation, (DY) depreciation of the current year, (IP) investment or purchase before deduction of subsidies, (S) subsidies, (SA) sales, (CV) closing valuation. They are explained hereafter.
There is only one column (V) value.
Valuation methods
The following valuation methods are used:
fair value less the estimate point-of-sale costs |
amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction less the cost estimated to incur in relation to the sale |
2010, 3010, 5010, 7010 |
historical cost |
nominal or original cost of an asset when acquired |
3020, 3030, 4010, 7020 |
book value |
value at which an asset is carried on a balance sheet |
1010, 1020, 1030, 1040, 8010 |
D.OV. Opening valuation
Opening valuation is the value of assets at the beginning of the accounting year. For the farms present in the sample also in the previous year, the opening valuation has to be equal to the closing valuation of the previous year.
D.AD. Accumulated 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 year
Systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life.
A table with the annual rates of depreciation applied by each Member State should be communicated to the Commission observing the same deadlines as those set for introduction of annual data.
D.IP. Investments/Purchases
Total expenditure on purchases, major repairs and the production of fixed assets during the accounting year. Where grants and subsidies have been received in respect of these investments, the amount expended before deducting the said grants and subsidies is entered in column IP.
Purchases of minor items of machinery and equipment as well as of young trees and bushes for a minor replanting operation do not appear in these columns but are included in the costs for the accounting year.
Major repairs which effectively increase the value of the machinery and equipment compared to their value before repair, are also included under this column, either as an integral part of the machinery or equipment depreciation, which, as appropriate, will be adjusted to take account of the extended life (due to the repairs) of the item in question or by spreading the cost of the major repairs over the expected useful life.
The value of the fixed assets produced is to be assessed on the basis of their cost (including the value of the paid and/or unpaid labour) and must be added to the value of the fixed assets given under codes 2010 to 8010 of table D “ASSETS”.
D.S. Investment subsidies
Current portion of all subsidies received (in previous or current accounting years) for assets recorded in this table.
D.SA. Sales
Total sales of assets during the accounting year.
D.CV. Closing valuation
Closing valuation is the value of assets at the end of the accounting year.
Comments
For items 2010, 3010, 5010 and 7010 the difference between OV+IP-SA and CV is considered as an income or loss (coming from both change in unit price and volume) for these assets for the accounting year.
Information about Biological assets — animals is recorded in the table J “Livestock production”.

1. Normal VAT system— the VAT system which is guaranteed to be income-neutral for agricultural holdings as the VAT balance is cleared with tax authorities.
2. Partial offsetting system— the VAT system which does not guarantee to be income-neutral for agricultural holdings, although it may contain some approximate mechanism to offset VAT paid and received.
1020. Minority VAT system in the farm
Codes as defined for the main VAT system.
There is only one group of information (VA) VAT system in the farm. There are three columns: (C) code of the VAT system, (NI) balance non-investments transactions and (I) balance investment transactions.
For the normal VAT system only its indication is entered. If the holding is subject to the partial offsetting system of VAT then also the VAT balance non-investments transactions and VAT balance investment transactions have to be provided.
When VAT turnover increases the revenue of the holding, the above VAT balance is a positive figure. In case of decreased revenue, the balance is negative.

Farm inputs (costs in cash and in kind, and quantities of selected inputs) relate to the “consumption” of productive resources (including farm use of own produced inputs) corresponding to the output of the farm during the accounting year or to the “consumption” of those resources during the accounting year. When certain use relates partly to private use and partly to farm use (e.g. electricity, water, heating fuels and engine fuels, etc.) only the latter part should be included in the farm return. The proportion of the use of private cars corresponding to their use for farm purposes should also be included.
In calculating costs relating to the output of the accounting year the purchases and farm use during the year should be adjusted for valuation changes (including changes in cultivations). For each item the total of costs paid for and the value of the farm use should be recorded separately.
Where the costs indicated are for the total “consumption” of inputs during the accounting year but do not correspond to production during that year, changes in stocks of inputs (including costs accruing to growing crops) should be indicated under an appropriate code of circulating capital.
When the holding’s production resources (paid or unpaid labour, machinery or equipment) are used to increase fixed assets (construction or major repairs of machinery, construction, major repairs or even demolition of buildings, planting or felling of fruit trees), the corresponding costs — or an estimate thereof — are not to be included in the working costs of the holding. In any case, labour costs and hours worked to produce fixed assets are to be excluded from both costs and data on labour. In exceptional cases, if certain costs (other than labour costs) used to produce fixed assets cannot be calculated separately (e.g. use of the holding’s tractor) and if these expenses are then included under costs, an estimate of all these costs used to produce fixed assets is to be entered in Table I “Crops” with the category of crop code 90900 (“Other”).
The costs relating to “consumption” of capital assets are represented by depreciation, hence expenditure on acquisition of capital assets should not be treated as a farm cost. For instructions on depreciation see in Table D “Assets”.
Expenditure on cost items compensated during the accounting year or later (e.g. repairs to a tractor as a result of an accident covered by an insurance policy or by a third party liability) should not be entered as farm costs, and the corresponding receipts should not be included in the farm’s accounts.
Receipts from resale of purchased supplies are to be deducted from corresponding inputs.
Grants and subsidies related to costs are not deducted from the corresponding cost items but are entered under appropriate codes 4100 to 4900 in table M “Subsidies” (see instructions regarding those codes). Investment grants and subsidies are shown in table D “Assets”.
Costs also include any expenditure on purchases relating to each cost item.
Inputs are classified as follows:
1010. Wages and social security costs for paid labour
This item includes the following:
— |
salaries and wages actually paid in cash to wage earners irrespective of the basis of remuneration (piecework or by the hour), with deduction of any social allowances paid to the holder as employer to offset the payment of a salary which does not correspond to actual work done (e.g. absence from work due to an accident, vocational training, etc.), |
— |
salaries and wages in kind (e.g. lodging, board, housing, farm produce, etc.), |
— |
bonuses for productivity or qualifications, gifts, gratuities, share of profits, |
— |
other expenditure associated with labour (recruitment expenses), |
— |
social security payments incumbent upon the employer and those paid by him on behalf of and instead of the employee, |
— |
occupational accident insurance. |
The holder’s personal social security charges and insurance and those of unpaid labour should not be regarded as farm costs.
The amounts received by unpaid workers (which by definition are lower than a normal wage — see definition of unpaid labour) should not appear in the farm return.
Allowances (in cash or in kind) paid to retired paid workers no longer employed on the holding should not be entered under this item but under the code “Other farming overheads”.
1020. Contract work and machinery hire
This item includes the following:
— |
total expenditure in respect of work on the farm carried out by agricultural contractors. This generally includes the cost of the use of equipment (including fuel) and the work. In case the cost of the materials employed other than fuel (i.e. crop protection products, fertilisers and seeds) is also included in the contract, the cost of these materials should be excluded. This amount (if necessary by estimation) should be entered under the corresponding cost item (e.g. pesticides to be recorded under code 3040 “Crop protection products”), |
— |
cost of hiring machines operated by the farm’s labour. The fuel costs related to the use of the rented machinery, should be recorded under code 1040 “Motor fuels and lubricants”, |
— |
cost of leasing machines operated by the farm’s labour. The fuel and maintenance costs of leased machines should be recorded under the relevant codes (codes 1030 “Current upkeep of machinery and equipment” and 1040 “Motor fuels and lubricants”). |
1030. Current upkeep of machinery and equipment
Cost of upkeep of machinery and equipment and of minor repairs not affecting the market value of the appliances (payment of mechanic, cost of replacement parts, etc.).
This 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 lubricants
This item also includes the proportion of fuel and lubricant costs for private cars corresponding to their use for farm purposes (see also code 1050).
Where the products are employed both as motor fuels and as heating fuels, the total sum is divided into two codes:
1040. |
“Motor fuels and lubricants”. |
5030. |
“Heating fuels”. |
1050. Car expenses
Where the farm proportion of expenditure on private cars is calculated arbitrarily (e.g. a fixed amount per km), these costs are indicated under this code.
Feedstuffs
Used feedstuffs are divided into those purchased and those produced on the farm.
The purchased feedstuffs include mineral licks, milk products (bought or returned to the farm) and products for the preservation and storage of feedstuffs, as well as the expenditure on agistment, on the use of common pasture and grazing land not included in the UAA and on renting forage land not included in the UAA. Purchased litter and straw are also included with purchased feedstuffs.
Feedstuffs purchased for grazing stock are subdivided into concentrated feedstuffs and coarse fodder (including agistments and expenditure on the use of common pastures, grazing land and forage land not included in the UAA, and purchased litter and straw).
The code 2010 “Purchased concentrated feedstuffs for grazing stock (equines, ruminants)” includes in particular oilcakes, compound feeds, cereals, dried grass, dried sugar beet pulp, fish meal, milk and dairy products, minerals and products for the preservation and storage of such feedstuffs.
Expenditure on work carried out by agricultural contractors for the production of coarse fodder, e.g. silage, is entered under code 1020 “Contract work and machinery hire”.
Feedstuffs produced and used on the farm include saleable farm products used as feedstuffs (including milk and milk products but excluding milk suckled by calves, which is not taken into account). Litter and straw produced on the holding are only included if they are a saleable product in the region and year in question.
The following breakdown is to be given:
|

Detailed information concerning potatoes (codes 10310, 10390), fresh vegetables, melons and strawberries (codes 10731, 10732, 10733, 10734, 10735, 10736, 10737, 10738, 10739, 10790), flowers and ornamental plants (codes 10830, 10840, 10850) and crop by-products other than from olives and vine (codes 90310, 90320, 90330) has to be provided only if the data is available in the farm accounts.
GROUPS OF INFORMATION IN TABLE I
Table I has seven rows containing the following groups of information: area (A), opening valuation (OV), closing valuation (CV), production (PR), sales (SA), farm household consumption and benefits in kind (FC) and farm use (FU).
Table I has six columns where for each crop, namely: the total area (TA), the area which is irrigated (IR), the area which is used for energy crops (EN), the area which is used for the production of GMO crops (GM), the quantity of production and sales (Q) and the value (V) are to be recorded. In the following it is described for each group of information which columns have to be completed:
I.A Area
For the group of information area (A), the total area (TA), the area which is irrigated (IR), the area which is used for energy crops (EN) and the area which is used for the production of GMO crops (GM) are to be recorded. In each case the area is to be given in ares (100 ares = 1 hectare), except in the case of land used for mushroom growing which is given in square metres.
I.OV Opening valuation
For the group of information opening valuation (OV), the value (V) of products in stock (storage) at the beginning of the accounting year is to be recorded. The products should be valued at farm-gate prices on the day of valuation.
I.CV Closing valuation
For the group of information closing valuation (CV), the value (V) of products in stock (storage) at the end of the accounting year is to be recorded. The products should be valued at farm-gate prices on the day of valuation.
I.PR Production
For the group of information production (PR) the quantities of crops produced (Q) during the accounting year (excluding any losses in the field and at the farm) are to be recorded. These quantities are indicated for the principal products of the holding (except by-products).
These quantities should be indicated in quintals (100 kg) with the exemption of wine and wine-related products, which are expressed in hectolitres. When, because of the conditions of sale, actual production in quintals cannot be determined (see sales of standing crops and crops under contract), missing data code 2 should be entered for the crops under contract and code 3 in the other cases.
I.SA Total sales
For the group of information total sales (SA) the quantity of sales (Q) and the value of sales (V) of products in stock at the start of the accounting year or harvested during the year are to be recorded. When marketing costs, if any, are known, they are not deducted from the sales total, but should be recorded in table H “Inputs”.
I.FC Farm household consumption and benefits in kind
For the group of information farm household consumption and benefits in kind (FC) the value (V) of the products consumed by the holder’s household and/or used for payments in kind for goods and services (including remuneration in kind) are to be recorded. The products in question are valued at farm-gate prices.
I.FU Farm use
For the group of information farm use (FU) the farm-gate value (V) of the holding’s products in stock (storage) at the beginning of the accounting year and/or produced during the year, used as inputs on the holding during the year are to be recorded. This includes:
— |
animal feed: the farm-gate value of the holding’s saleable products (products which are currently marketable) used during the year as animal feed. The holding’s straw used on the farm (as fodder and bedding) is valued only when it is a saleable product in the region and for the year under consideration. The products concerned are valued at the “farm-gate” selling price, |
— |
seeds: the farm-gate value of saleable farm products used as seed for crops during the year, |
— |
other farm use (including products from the holding used for the preparation of meals for holidaymakers). |

The definition of “Other Gainful Activities” (OGA) is the same as established in point VI of Annex II to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1200/2009 (11) and in the Community typology for agricultural holdings (Article 4 of and Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1242/2008). This definition follows, except in exceptional cases, the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community (NACE rev.2) and the Manual of Economic Accounts for Agriculture and Forestry EAA/EAF 97 rev.1.1.
OGA directly related to the holding refer to the non-agricultural activities having an economic impact on the holding and which are using the agricultural resources (means of production or products) of the holding.
Gainful activities in this context mean active work; pure financial investments are therefore excluded. Renting out the land or other farm’s agricultural resources 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 are considered as OGA unless the processing is regarded as a part of agricultural activity. Wine processing and olive oil production are therefore excluded unless the bought-in proportion of wine or olive oil is significant.
All processing of a primary agricultural product to a processed secondary product on the holding, regardless of whether the raw material is produced on the holding or bought from outside are considered as OGA. This includes processing meat, making cheese, etc.
Categories of other gainful activities directly related to the farm
The following categories of OGA should be distinguished:
261. |
Processing of cow’s milk |
||||||
262. |

||||||
1020. |
Forestry and wood processing. It covers the sales of felled and standing timber, of forestry products other than timber (cork, pine resin, etc.) and of processed wood during the accounting year. |
||||||
2010. |
Contract work for others. Hiring out of equipment of the holding without farm labour force or using only farm labour force in contract work are not considered as OGA but as part of the agricultural activity. |
||||||
2020. |
Tourism, accommodation, catering and other leisure activities. They include rent from tourism (camping sites, cottages, riding facilities, hunting, fishing, etc.). |
||||||
2030. |
Production of renewable energy. It covers the production of renewable energy for the market including biogas, biofuels or electricity, by wind turbines, other equipment or from agricultural raw materials. It excludes, as considered being part of the agricultural activity of the holding:

The codes describing how the subsidy is financed are to be selected form the list below:
Code (**) |
Description |
1 |
The subsidy is financed solely from the EU budget. |
2 |
The measure is co-financed by the EU and the Member State. |
3 |
The measure is not financed from the EU budget but by other public sources. |
The codes defining the basic units are to be selected form the list below:
Code (***) |
Description |
1 |
The subsidy is granted per head of livestock. |
2 |
The subsidy is granted per ha. |
3 |
The subsidy is granted per ton. |
4 |
Farm/other: the subsidy is granted for the whole farm or in a way which does not fit in the other categories. |
Table M “SUBSIDIES” covers grants and subsidies received by agricultural holdings from public bodies, both National and Union, excluding grants and subsidies on investments (these are to be recorded in Table D “ASSETS”).
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). Rural development payments other than LFA payments 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).
Grants and subsidies are defined by type of subsidy, financing and basic unit. For each entry, Table M gives the number of basic units (N) and the amount received (V). There might be several records per category of subsidy as the basic units and/or financing origins might differ.’

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1321/2013
of 10 December 2013
establishing the Union list of authorised smoke flavouring primary products for use as such in or on foods and/or for the production of derived smoke flavourings
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 November 2003 on smoke flavourings used or intended to be used in or on foods (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003 provides for the initial establishment of a Union list of authorised smoke flavouring primary products (hereinafter referred to as ‘primary products’). That list is to be established on the basis of applications for authorisation submitted by business operators and the opinion issued by the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) on the relevant primary product. |
(2) |
In accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003, the Authority received 14 valid applications for authorisation of primary products before 16 June 2005. Three applications have been withdrawn. Therefore the Authority has evaluated in total 11 primary products. One evaluated application has been withdrawn after completion of the evaluation. |
(3) |
According to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003 the authorisation of smoke flavourings may be subject to specific conditions of use and according to Article 9(3) of that Regulation authorisations should be granted for 10 years, renewable in accordance with Article 12 of that Regulation. |
(4) |
Primary products and derived smoke flavourings are used in or on food to impart a smoke taste or to complement another flavour without imparting smoke flavour. They are also used to smoke meat, fish and dairy products. The refined exposure study carried out by Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu (RIVM) (2) shows that regardless of the exposure calculation method used, the main contributors to the high intake are predominantly foods that used to be traditionally smoked, such as cooked smoked sausage and bacon. The food groups that are not traditionally smoked, such as crisps, soups and sauces, do not significantly affect exposure. Because primary products are produced from smoke which is subjected to fractionation and purification processes, the use of smoke flavourings is generally considered to be of less health concern than the use of smoke that is made by burning wood or by heating saw dust or small wood chips (3). |
(5) |
The safety assessment of the Authority on the primary product Scansmoke PB1110, adopted on 26 March 2009 (4), concludes that the data provided by the applicant is sufficient to eliminate the concerns over its genotoxicity. However the uses and use levels as originally proposed by the applicant would provide an insufficient margin of safety. The uses and the use levels have been revised to take into account this opinion. The primary product Scansmoke PB1110 should therefore be authorised subject to specific conditions of use. |
(6) |
The safety assessment of the Authority on the primary product Zesti Smoke Code 10, adopted on 29 January 2009 (5) and on 6 July 2011 (6), concludes that the data provided by the applicant is sufficient to eliminate the concerns over its genotoxicity. However, the uses and use levels as originally proposed by the applicant provide an insufficient margin of safety. The uses and the use levels have been revised to take into account this opinion. The primary product Zesti Smoke Code 10 should therefore be authorised subject to specific conditions of use. |
(7) |
The safety assessment of the Authority on the primary product Smoke Concentrate 809045, adopted on 29 January 2009 (7), concludes that the data provided by the applicant is sufficient to eliminate the concerns over its genotoxicity. The uses and use levels as proposed by the applicant do not give rise to safety concern. The primary product Smoke Concentrate 809045 should therefore be authorised subject to specific conditions of use. |
(8) |
The safety assessment of the Authority on the primary product Scansmoke SEF 7525, adopted on 14 May 2009 (8), concludes that the data provided by the applicant is sufficient to eliminate the concerns over its genotoxicity. The uses and use levels as proposed by the applicant do not give rise to safety concern. The primary product Scansmoke SEF 7525 should therefore be authorised subject to specific conditions of use. |
(9) |
The safety assessment of the Authority on the primary product SmokEz C-10, adopted on 14 May 2009 (9) and on 4 July 2012 (10), concludes that the data provided by the applicant is sufficient to eliminate the concerns over its genotoxicity. However, the uses and use levels as originally proposed by the applicant provide an insufficient margin of safety. The uses and the use levels have been revised to take into account this opinion. The primary product SmokEz C-10 should therefore be authorised subject to specific conditions of use. |
(10) |
The safety assessment of the Authority on the primary product SmokEz Enviro-23, adopted on 14 May 2009 (11) and on 4 July 2012 (12), concludes that the data provided by the applicant is sufficient to eliminate the concerns over its genotoxicity. However, the uses and use levels as originally proposed by the applicant provide an insufficient margin of safety. The uses and the use levels have been revised to take into account this opinion. The primary product SmokEz Enviro-23 should therefore be authorised subject to specific conditions of use. |
(11) |
The safety assessment of the Authority on the primary product TradismokeTM A MAX, adopted on 26 November 2009 (13), concludes that the data provided by the applicant is sufficient to eliminate the concerns over its genotoxicity. However, the uses and use levels as originally proposed by the applicant provide an insufficient margin of safety. The uses and the use levels have been revised to take into account this opinion. The primary product TradismokeTM A MAX should therefore be authorised subject to specific conditions of use. |
(12) |
The safety assessment of the Authority on the primary product Scansmoke R909, adopted on 26 November 2009 (14), concludes that the data provided by the applicant is sufficient to eliminate the concerns over its genotoxicity. However, the uses and use levels as originally proposed by the applicant provide an insufficient margin of safety. The uses and the use levels have been revised to take into account this opinion. The applicant notified to the Commission on 26 November 2012 that the name of the primary product had been changed to proFagus-Smoke R709. The primary product proFagus-Smoke R709 should therefore be authorised subject to specific conditions of use. |
(13) |
The safety assessment of the Authority on the primary product Fumokomp, adopted on 24 September 2009 (15) and on 6 July 2011 (16), concludes that the data provided by the applicant is sufficient to eliminate the concerns over its genotoxicity. The uses and use levels as proposed by the applicant do not give rise to safety concern. The primary product Fumokomp should therefore be authorised subject to specific conditions of use. |
(14) |
The safety assessment of the Authority on the primary product AM 01, adopted on 26 November 2009 (17) and on 2 February 2012 (18), concludes that the data provided by the applicant is sufficient to eliminate the concerns over its genotoxicity. However, the uses and use levels as originally proposed by the applicant provide an insufficient margin of safety. The uses and the use levels have been revised to take into account this opinion. The primary product AM 01 should therefore be authorised subject to specific conditions of use. |
(15) |
In respect of each authorised primary product, the Union list should provide a unique product code, the name of the product, the name and address of the authorisation holder, a description and characterisation of the product, the conditions of its use in or on specific foods or food categories, the date from which the product is authorised and the date until which the product is authorised. For the purpose of this Regulation, the food categories as laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on food additives (19), should be referred to. |
(16) |
Conditions for the production of primary products are laid down in Annex I of the Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003 including maximum content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. |
(17) |
When authorised smoke flavourings are used in or on food, their use must be in accordance with the conditions of use, including maximum levels, set in the Annex to this Regulation. When authorised smoke flavourings are used in combination, the individual levels should be reduced proportionally. |
(18) |
Smoking by regenerated smoke is a process of treating food by exposing it to smoke which is regenerated by atomizing smoke flavourings in a smoking chamber under the time and temperature conditions similar to those for hot or cold smoking. In that case it is difficult to estimate how much of the smoke flavourings will be present in the final food as marketed due to loss of smoke flavouring during smoking. Therefore, the use should be in accordance with good manufacturing practices. |
(19) |
Unless subject to further restrictions, an authorised smoke flavouring may be present in food, other than by direct addition, as a result of carry-over from an ingredient in which the smoke flavouring was permitted, provided that the level of the smoke flavouring in the final food is no greater than would be introduced by the use of the ingredient under proper technological conditions and good manufacturing practice. |
(20) |
The Union list of smoke flavourings should apply without prejudice to other provisions laid down in sector specific legislation. |
(21) |
Since smoke flavourings are already on the market in the Member States, provisions have been made to ensure that the transition to a Union authorisation procedure is smooth. To this effect transitional periods have been laid down in Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003. |
(22) |
Pursuant to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003, authorisations are renewable for 10-year periods on application to the Commission by the authorisation holder. The application must be accompanied by the documents listed in Article 12(2) of that Regulation. Those documents must include any available information concerning toxicological data following the advice of Authority given in its guidance document of 7 October 2004 or its latest update. |
(23) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Food Chain and Animal Health, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The list of the smoke flavouring primary products authorised to the exclusion of all others in the Union for use in or on foods and/or for the production of derived smoke flavourings, as referred to in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003, is laid down in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
The list of the authorised smoke flavourings is established with the effect from 1 January 2014.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

ANNEX
Union list of authorised smoke flavouring primary products for use as such in or on foods and/or for the production of derived smoke flavourings
Note 1: |
Maximum levels refer to levels in or on food as marketed. By way of derogation from this principle, for dried and/or concentrated foods which need to be reconstituted the maximum levels shall apply to the food as reconstituted according to the instructions on the label taking into account the minimum dilution factor. If primary products are used for the production of the derived smoke flavourings, the maximum levels shall be adjusted accordingly. |
Note 2: |
When combinations of smoke flavourings are used in or on foodstuffs, the individual levels shall be reduced proportionally. |
Note 3: |
In case smoke flavourings are permitted to be used in processed meat (food category 8.2) or in processed fish and fishery products (food category 9.2) and these foods are smoked in a smoking chamber by regenerating smoke by using these permitted smoke flavourings, the use shall be in accordance with good manufacturing practices. |
Note 4: |
The presence of a smoke flavouring shall be permitted:
|
This shall not apply to infant formulae, follow-on formulae, processed cereal-based foods and baby foods and dietary foods for special medical purposes intended for infants and young children as referred to in Directive 2009/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 on foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses (1).

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1322/2013
of 11 December 2013
on the granting of unlimited duty-free access to the Union for 2014 to certain goods originating in Norway resulting from the processing of agricultural products covered by Council Regulation (EC) No 1216/2009
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1216/2009 of 30 November 2009 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2004/859/EC of 25 October 2004 concerning the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway on Protocol 2 to the bilateral Free Trade Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Protocol No 2 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (3), of 14 May 1973 and Protocol 3 to the EEA Agreement, as amended by Decisions of the EEA Joint Committee No 140/2001 (4) and No 138/2004 (5) (hereinafter referred to as ‘Protocol 3 to the EEA Agreement’) determine the trade arrangements for certain agricultural and processed agricultural products between the Contracting Parties. |
(2) |
Protocol 3 to the EEA Agreement provides for a zero duty applying to waters containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavoured, classified under CN code 2202 10 00, and other non-alcoholic beverages containing sugar or other sweetening matter or flavoured but not containing products of headings 0401 to 0404 or fat obtained from products of headings 0401 to 0404, classified under CN code 2202 90 10. |
(3) |
The zero duty for the waters and other beverages in question has been temporarily suspended for Norway by the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway concerning Protocol 2 to the bilateral Free Trade Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (6) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters’) approved by Decision 2004/859/EC. According to the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters, duty free imports of goods of the CN codes 2202 10 00 and ex 2202 90 10 originating in Norway are to be permitted only within the limits of a duty free quota while a duty is to be paid for imports outside the quota allocation. |
(4) |
Furthermore, the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters requires that the products in question be granted unlimited duty-free access to the Union if the tariff quota has not been exhausted by 31 October of the previous year. According to data provided to the Commission, the annual quota for 2013 for the waters and beverages in question opened by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1085/2012 (7) had not been exhausted by 31 October 2013. Therefore, the products in question should be granted unlimited duty free access to the Union from 1 January to 31 December 2014. |
(5) |
It is therefore necessary not to apply for 2014 the temporary suspension of the duty free regime applied under Protocol No 2 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway of 14 May 1973. |
(6) |
For reasons of legal certainty, it is appropriate to repeal provisions of Union law which no longer produce legal effects with regard to present or future situations. Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1085/2012 should therefore be repealed. |
(7) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on horizontal questions concerning trade in processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. From 1 January to 31 December 2014, the goods classified under CN codes 2202 10 00 (waters, including mineral waters and aerated waters, containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavoured) and ex 2202 90 10 (other non-alcoholic beverages containing sugar (sucrose or invert sugar)) originating in Norway shall be granted unlimited duty free access to the Union.
2. The rules of origin applicable to the goods referred to in paragraph 1 shall be those set out in Protocol No 3 of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway of 14 May 1973.
Article 2
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1085/2012 is repealed.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2014.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 9 December 2013
on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, of the Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products to the World Health Organisation’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, as regards its provisions on obligations related to judicial cooperation in criminal matters, the definition of criminal offences, and police cooperation
(2013/744/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 82(1), Article 83 and Article 87(2), in conjunction with Article 218(5), thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
On 22 October 1999, the Council authorised the Commission to negotiate, in the context of the World Health Organisation (WHO), a Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and related protocols. This authorisation was amended by the Council on 21 April 2001 and, on 20 December 2007, in relation to the Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products (‘the Protocol’). Negotiations were conducted by the Commission within the terms of the negotiating directives adopted by the Council and were successfully finalised by the adoption of the Protocol at the fifth Conference of the Parties to the WHO FCTC on 12 November 2012, in Seoul, Republic of Korea. |
(2) |
The conclusion of the FCTC was approved on behalf of the Community by Council Decision 2004/513/EC (1), which is a condition for the European Union’s becoming a Party to the Protocol. |
(3) |
The Protocol represents a significant contribution to the international efforts to eliminate all forms of illicit trade in tobacco products, which constitutes an essential component of tobacco control. |
(4) |
The Protocol sets out obligations for the contracting parties related to judicial cooperation in criminal matters, the definition of criminal offences, and police cooperation. As a consequence, those provisions fall within the scope of Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. |
(5) |
As the Protocol covers matters that fall within the Union’s competence, the Protocol should be signed on behalf of the Union, subject to its conclusion at a later date. |
(6) |
By signing the Protocol, the Union will not be exercising shared competence, hence Member States retain their competence in the areas covered by the Protocol which do not affect common rules or alter the scope of such rules. |
(7) |
In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol (No 21) on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland in respect of the area of freedom, security and justice annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and without prejudice to Article 4 of that Protocol, those Member States are not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and are not bound by it or subject to its application. |
(8) |
In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol (No 22) on the position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and is not bound by it or subject to its application. |
(9) |
A separate decision (2) relating to the signing, on behalf of the Union, of the Protocol, with the exception of its provisions on obligations related to judicial cooperation in criminal matters, the definition of criminal offences, and police cooperation, is to be adopted in parallel to this Decision, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The signing of the Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, as regards its provisions on obligations related to judicial cooperation in criminal matters, the definition of criminal offences, and police cooperation, is hereby authorised subject to the conclusion of the said Protocol (3).
Article 2
The President of the Council is hereby authorised to designate the person(s) empowered to sign the Protocol on behalf of the Union, as regards its provisions on obligations related to judicial cooperation in criminal matters, the definition of criminal offences, and police cooperation.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Articles 33, 113, 114 and 207(4), first subparagraph, in conjunction with Article 218(5) and 218(8), second subparagraph, thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
On 22 October 1999, the Council authorised the Commission to negotiate, in the context of the World Health Organisation (WHO), a Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and related protocols. This authorisation was amended by the Council on 21 April 2001 and, on 20 December 2007, in relation to the Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products (‘the Protocol’). Negotiations were conducted by the Commission within the terms of the negotiating directives adopted by the Council and were successfully finalised by the adoption of the Protocol at the fifth Conference of the Parties to the WHO FCTC on 12 November 2012, in Seoul, Republic of Korea. |
(2) |
The conclusion of the FCTC was approved on behalf of the Community by Council Decision 2004/513/EC (1), which is a condition for the Union’s becoming a Party to the Protocol. |
(3) |
The Protocol represents a significant contribution to the international efforts to eliminate all forms of illicit trade in tobacco products, which constitute an essential component of tobacco control. |
(4) |
The Union has exclusive competence for a number of provisions of the Protocol which fall within the scope of the Union’s common commercial policy or where corresponding Union legislation has been adopted. Therefore, the Protocol should be signed on behalf of the Union, subject to its conclusion at a later date. |
(5) |
By signing the Protocol, the Union will not be exercising shared competence, hence Member States retain their competence in the areas covered by the Protocol which do not affect common rules or alter the scope of such rules. |
(6) |
The Protocol sets out obligations for the contracting parties related to judicial cooperation in criminal matters, the definition of criminal offences, and police cooperation. As a consequence, those provisions fall within the scope of Title V of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and the Protocols (No 21) on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland in respect of the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice and (No 22) on the position of Denmark, both annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, apply. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 10 December 2013
authorising the United Kingdom to use certain approximate estimates for the calculation of the VAT own resources base
(notified under document C(2013) 8685)
(Only the English text is authentic)
(2013/747/EU, Euratom)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 of 29 May 1989 on the definitive uniform arrangements for the collection of own resources accruing from value added tax (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Under Article 371 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (2), Member States which, at 1 January 1978, exempted the transactions listed in Annex X, Part B, may continue to exempt those transactions, in accordance with the conditions applying in the Member State concerned on that date; these transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT resources base. |
(2) |
The United Kingdom has requested authorisation from the Commission to use certain approximate estimates for the calculation of the VAT own resources base since it is unable to make the precise calculation of the VAT own resources base for transactions referred to in point (9) of Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC. Such calculation is likely to involve an unjustified administrative burden in relation to the effect of these transactions on the United Kingdom’s total VAT own resources base. The United Kingdom is able to make a calculation using approximate estimates for this category of transactions. The United Kingdom should therefore be authorised to calculate the VAT own resources base using approximate estimates in accordance with the second indent of Article 6(3) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89. |
(3) |
For reasons of transparency and legal certainty it is appropriate to limit the applicability of the authorisation in time. |
(4) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
For the purpose of calculating the VAT own resources base from 1 January 2013, the United Kingdom is authorised to use approximate estimates in respect of the following categories of transactions referred to in Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC:
The supply of building land (point (9)).
Article 2
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2017.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 of 29 May 1989 on the definitive uniform arrangements for the collection of own resources accruing from value added tax (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Under Article 390c of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (2), as stated in point (2)(e) under the heading ‘8. Taxation’ of the Annex V referred to in Article 18 of the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Republic of Croatia and the adjustments to the Treaty on European Union, the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (3), Croatia may, in accordance with the conditions applying in that Member State on the date of its accession, continue to exempt the supply of building land, with or without buildings built on it, as referred to in point (j) of Article 135(1) and in point (9) of Annex X, Part B of Directive 2006/112/EC, non-renewable, until 31 December 2014 and the international transport of passengers, as referred to in point (10) of Annex X, Part B of Directive 2006/112/EC, for as long as the same exemption is applied in any of the Member States which were members of the Union before the accession of Croatia; these transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT resources base. |
(2) |
Croatia has requested authorisation from the Commission to use certain approximate estimates for the calculation of the VAT own resources base from 1 January 2013 until 31 December 2014 since it is unable to make the precise calculation of the VAT own resources base for transactions referred to in point (9) of Annex X, Part B of Directive 2006/112/EC.
