COMMISSION DECISION of 26 October 1989 relating to the definitions of the characteristics and to the list of agricultural products for the surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings during the period 1988 to 1997 (89/651/EEC) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 571/88 of 29 February 1988 on the organization of Community surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings between 1988 and 1997 (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 807/89 (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof, Whereas if the findings of the surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings provided for in Regulation (EEC) N° 571/88 are to be in concordance throughout the European Economic Community, the terms contained in the list of characteristics must be understood and applied in a uniform manner; Whereas Community definitions should therefore be laid down for these terms wherever necessary; Whereas for the purpose of comparability of survey results the definitions and geographical areas used for previous surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings should be retained wherever possible; Whereas in accordance with Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) N° 571/88 the definitions relating to the list of characteristics and to regions and districts are those laid down in Commission Decision 83/461/EEC (3), as last amended by Decision 85/643/EEC (4); whereas any amendments shall be adopted according to the procedure laid down in Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) N° 571/88; Whereas Regulation (EEC) N° 571/88 refers to a period extending from 1988 to 1997 and applies to several Community surveys; whereas a complete and updated list of agreed Community definitions for the characteristics to be surveyed should be established; Whereas, furthermore, in order to permit practical use of the list of characteristics in the Member States and facilitate interpretation of the survey results, these Decisions should be supplemented by explanations and examples; Whereas, in particular in the sense of Regulation (EEC) N° 571/88, the statistical definition of the term 'agricultural holding' should be uniform throughout the European Economic Community and since that definition itself refers to 'agricultural products' it is consequently necessary to adopt the standard list of these products; Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics, HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1 The Community definitions to be used for Community surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings as provided for by Regulation (EEC) N° 571/88 are given in Annex I, together with the relevant explanations and examples. Article 2 The list of agricultural products referred to in the definition of agricultural holdings is given in Annex II. Article 3 In view of circumstances peculiar to certain Member States, exceptions to the Community definitions shall be accepted as set out in Annex III. Article 4 This Decision is addressed to the Member States. Done at Brussels, 26 October 1989. For the Commission Henning CHRISTOPHERSEN Vice-President (1) OJ N° L 56, 2. 3. 1988, p. 1.

ANNEX I DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE LIST OF CHARACTERISTICS TO BE USED FOR COMMUNITY SURVEYS ON THE STRUCTURE OF AGRICULTURAL HOLDINGS (I = definitions, II = explanatory notes) AGRICULTURAL HOLDING I. A single unit both technically and economically, which has single management and the output of which is agricultural products. II. 1. An agricultural holding is thus defined by the following characteristics: 1.1. Output of agricultural products For the purpose of this survey 'agricultural products' are taken to be those products listed in Annex II. 1.2. Single management There can be single management even though this is carried out by two or more persons acting jointly. 1.3. A single unit technically and economically In general this is indicated by a common use of labour and means of production. 2. Special cases 2.1. (a) When a holding is for tax or other reasons split up among two or more persons; or (b) when two or more separate holdings, each having previously been an independent holding, have been integrated in the hands of a single holder; the treatment is as a single holding, if there is a single management and technical and economic unity. 2.2. Cases where a parcel of land has been retained by the former holder when transferring the holding to his successor (heir, tenant, etc.). This is: (a) included with the successor's holding if the retained land is worked in conjunction with the rest of the holding and if in general the same labour force and means of production as for the rest of the holding are employed; (b) attributed to the previous holder's holding if normally worked with the labour force and means of production of that holding. 2.3. For the purposes of this survey, the following are counted as agricultural holdings in so far as they fulfil the other criteria mentioned above as defining an agricultural holding: (a) bull, boar, ram and he-goat breeding stations, studs and hatcheries; (b) the agricultural holdings of research institutes, sanatoria and convalescent homes, religious communities, schools and prisons; (c) agricultural holdings which form part of industrial enterprises; (d) comon land consisting of pasture, horticultural or other land, provided that such land is operated as an agricultural holding by the local authority concerned (e.g. by the taking of animals into agistment (;). (;) The following are not considered here: - common land allotted (C/03), - common land which has been rented out (C/02). 2.4. Not included as agricultural holdings for the purposes of this survey are: (a) riding stables, racing stables, gallops (i.e. land used for exercising racehorses); (b) kennels; (c) markets, abattoirs, etc. (without rearing). 2.5. 'Single-product group-holdings' are treated as agricultural holdings independent of the 'parent' holdings if they mainly use their own factors of production and do not rely mainly on the factors of production of the 'parent' holdings (;). A. GEOGRAPHICAL SITUATION OF THE HOLDING The holding and all the information relating to it is taken as being in that district where the headquarters of the holding is situated (A/01). Headquarters of the holding The headquarters of the holding is defined according to Member States' own rules. A/01Districts I. The regions and districts for the purposes of structure surveys are as follows: GERMANY (country code = 01) Regions Districts 001. Schleswig-Holstein 001. Schleswig-Holstein 003. Niedersachsen 001.

LEGAL PERSONALITY AND MANAGEMENT OF THE HOLDING B/01 and B/02The person legally or economically responsible for the holding (hereafter called the holder) I. The holder of the holding is that (natural or legal) person in whose name the holding is operated. The holder can own the holding outright or rent it or be a hereditary long-term leaseholder or a usufructuary or a trustee. II. The holder may have delegated all or part of power of decision to a manager. If on one holding two or more natural persons carry out the functions of the holder only one of them is shown as such (e.g. the one who bears the greatest share of the risk or who takes the main part in managing the holding. If such criteria still fail to pick out one individual the choice should be based on some other criterion, such as age). In the case of share farming the share farmer is shown as holder. B/01 Natural person I. For the purpose of this heading a natural person may be either a single individual or a group of individuals. II. The following, inter alia, are to be regarded as groups of individuals: married couples, siblings, joint beneficiaries under a will or intestacy, etc. B/02 Manager of the holding I. The person responsible for the normal daily running of the holding concerned. II. The manager is generally but not always the same person as the holder. In case the holder is not also the manager he has charged someone else, for example a member of his family, with the running of the holding. One person only is taken as the manager. In the case where more than one person takes part in the normal daily running of the holding, then the person who takes the greatest part is considered as the manager. If this part is equally divided the necessary distinction may be made on the basis of age. B/03 Manager's agricultural training Only practical experience I. Experience acquired through practical work on an agricultural holding. Basic training I. Any training courses completed at a general agricultural college and/or an institution specializing in certain subjects (including horticulture, viticulture, sylviculture, pisciculture, veterinary science, agricultural technology and associated subjects). II. A completed agricultural apprenticeship is regarded as basic training. Full agricultural training I. Any training course continuing for at least two years after the end of compulsory education (;) and completed at an agricultural college, university or other institute of higher education in agriculture, horticulture, viticulture, sylviculture, pisciculture, veterinary science, agricultural technology or an associated subject. B/04 Are accounts kept for the management of the holding? I. Accounts must include at least the systematic and regular recording of all current income and expenditure for the purpose of establishing, at the end of the accounting period, the profit achieved by the holding. (;) Age at which compulsory education ends in each Member State: see footnote on page 28 of this Official Journal. II. An accounting system is also deemed to exist if such recording did not commence until during the 12 months preceding the survey. Agricultural accounts may serve as a basis for administration of the holding by the holding manager; they may also be used to draw up a balance sheet and a profit and loss account. The following are not regarded as 'accounting systems': - occasional notes on certain operations in a ledger or notebook, - income and expenditure records (for calculating the rentability) for only part of the holding's activities, - data prepared for tax purposes only. C. TYPE OF TENURE AND FRAGMENTATION OF THE HOLDING C/01 to 03Utilized agricultural area I. The total area taken up by arable land, permanent pasture, permanent crops and kitchen gardens (owner-farmed, tenant-farmed or worked free of charge). II. Type of tenure - special cases 1. Where a 'single-product group holding' is treated as an independent holding (see 'agricultural holdings', point 2.5) the total atricultural area of the group-holding is attributed to the person named as holder (B/01/II) but given the type of tenure under which it is held by the 'parent' holding. 2. Land in co-ownership or leased and worked by several holdings but which does not constitute a 'single-product group-holding' is treated as relating to the holder who takes the greatest part in running it but each part is given the type of tenure under which it is held by the parent holding. C/01 Owner-farmed agricultural area I. Agricultural land being farmed by the holding being surveyed and which is the property of the holder or farmed by him as usufructuary or heritable long-term lease holder or under some other equivalent type of tenure. II. Land allotted to a farm worker (for his own cultivation) as part of his wage is allocated to the holding making the allotment, unless the farm worker uses his own means of production. Parcels of land retained by the former holder (see 'Agricultural holding', point 2.2) are allocated to the main holding if worked with that holding. However, grazing rights on common grazing land are not included, e.g. on common land belonging to the parish or to a cooperative (such areas, not being part of a holding, are not covered in this survey). C/02 Tenant-farmed agricultural area I. Land rented by the holding in general for a period of at least 12 months and in return for a fixed rent agreed in advance (in cash, kind or otherwise), and for which there is a (written or oral) tenancy agreement. II. The rented land can consist of: - a complete holding, - individual parcels of land. Parcels of land or holdings rented by the holder from members of the holder's family are included here if these areas are farmed as part of the holding surveyed. Also included is land belonging to another holding but worked by the holding under survey in return for a certain number of hours of labour but not land put at the disposal of a farm-worker as a form of wage (;). (;) As opposed to the case of land put at the disposal of a farm worker as a form of wage, which generally remains within the crop rotation system of the holding, a tenancy agreement of the type envisaged here will specify not merely the area of land concerned but also where it is and its exact boundaries. Land worked by the holding as conacre '11 month land' in Ireland and in Northern Ireland or as 'zaaiklaargehuurd land' (land ready for sowing rented for a year) also comes under this heading. Rented land which has been sublet to a third party is not included, since it does not constitute part of the holding surveyed. C/03 Agricultural area share-farmed or farmed under other modes I. (a) Share-farmed agricultural area Land (which may constitute a complete holding) farmed in partnership by the landlord and the share-cropper under a written or oral share-farming contract. The production of the share cropped area is shared between two parties on an agreed basis. (b) Agricultural area utilized under other modes of tenure Other modes of tenure not covered by C/01 to 03 (a). II. This includes inter alia: 1. Land over which the holder enjoys rights: - by virtue of his occupancy of a particular post (forester, priest, teacher, etc.), - allotted by the parish or other organization, e.g. common grazing land apportioned on an acreage basis (as distinct from land over which common grazing rights are enjoyed). 2. Land which the holding works free of any charge (e.g. areas from derelict holdings being worked by the holding surveyed). 3. 'Colonia parziaria' - of complete holdings and of individual parcels of land (;). C/04 Number of parcels making up the utilized agricultural area I. A parcel is any piece of land belonging to the holding but completely surrounded by land, water, roads or forests, etc., not belonging to the holding. II. A parcel may consist of one or more adjacent fields. A field is a piece of land situated within, but separated from the rest of a block by clearly visible demarcation lines (e.g. tracks, ditches, brooks, hedgerows). A field may comprise one or more plots of land. A plot of land is that part of a field (or its entirety used for a given crop or combination or crops. D to ILAND USE ($) The total area of the holding (D to H) consists of the agricultural area utilized by the holding (D to G) and other land (H). I. The agricultural area utilized for farming includes the area under main crops for harvest in the year of the survey. II. For the breakdown of land use by area farmed each area is listed only once. Permanent crops and crops lasting several years (e.g. asparagus, strawberries or bushes), not yet in production, are included. Cultivated mushrooms are excluded. In the case of combined crops the utilized agricultural area is allocated among the crops pro rata to the use of the ground by the crops concerned. (;) In 'colonia parziaria' of complete holdings the grantor entrusts a farm to the head of a family, who undertakes to carry out with the aid of the members of his family (the farm family) all the work required on the holding and himself to bear part of the outgoings and to divide the farm's production with the grantor in fixed proportions. In 'colonia parziaria' of individual parcels of land the grantor entrusts solely one or more parcels of land which are used under the same conditions as described under (a). ($) The reference numbers given in the definitions of items under headings D to G are based on the list of agricultural products (Annex II). Areas of agriculture combined with woodland are similarly split up. This principle does not apply to mixed crops (these are crops grown and harvested together on the same ground, e.g. mixed corn), or to successive crops (e.g. barley undersown with clover for later harvesting). In the case of combined crops, if one crop has no significance for the holding, it is ignored in the breakdwon of the areas. In the case of successive crops the area of each successive crop is not calculated. The area is allocated to one crop taken as the main crop (;). An exemption from the principle of pro rata allocation may be made where the results would not be satisfactory, provided that the rules established by the Member States in agreement with the Commission are respected. D. ARABLE LAND I. Land worked regularly, generally under a system of crop rotation. II. Arable land comprises crop categories D/01 to D/20 and fallow land (D/21).

If the value of production does not determine which is the main crop, then the main crop is taken as the one which occupies the ground for the longest time. D/11 Sugar beet (excluding seeds) D/12 Forage roots and tubers (excluding seeds) D/13 Industrial crops (including seeds for herbaceous oil seed plants, excluding seeds for fibre plants, hops, tobacco and other industrial crops) of which: D/13 (a) Tobacco D/13 (b) Hops D/13 (c) Cotton D/13 (d) Other oil seed and fibre plants and other industrial plants D/13 (d) i(i) Oil seeds (total) of which: - rape and turnip rape - sunflower - soya bean D/13 (d) (ii) Aromatic and medicinal plants and herbs II.

Cultivated mushrooms (I/02) are excluded. D/14 Fresh vegetables, melons, strawberries - outdoor or under low (non-accessible) cover D/14 (a) Open field I. Vegetables, melons, strawberries grown on land in rotation with other agricultural crops. D/14 (b) Market gardening I. Vegetables, melons and strawberries grown on land in rotation with other horticultural crops. D/15, D/17 and G/07Crops under glass or high (accessible) cover I. Crops which for the whole of their period of growth or for the predominant part of it are covered by greenhouses or fixed or mobile high cover (glass or rigid or flexible plastic). II. This excludes sheets of plastic laid flat on the ground, also land under cloches or tunnels not accessible to man or movable glass-covered frames. For mobile greenhouses or high cover the area reported is the total area actually covered during the preceding 12 months (summing them up to calculate the total area covered), not merely the area covered by the installation at any one time. Areas of crops which are grown temporarily under glass and temporarily in the open air are reproted as entirely under glass, unless the period under glass is of extremely limited duration. If the same area under glass is used more than once it is reported once only. Only the base area of multi-storeyed greenhouses is counted. D/16 and 17Flowers and ornamental plants (excluding seedlings) D/18 Forage plants I. All green forage crops grown in rotation and occupying the same land for less than five years (annual or multiannual feed crops). II. Cereals and industrial plants harvested and/or consumed green for forage are included. Fodder roots and brassicas (D/12) are excluded. D/18 (a) Temporary grass I. Pasture, lasting at least one crop year and less than five years, sown with grass or grass mixtures.

D/19 Arable land seeds and seedlings (excluding cereals, pulses, potatoes and oil seed plants) I. Areas producing seeds and seedlings for sale, excluding cereals, rice, pulses, potatoes and oil seeds. Seeds and seedlings for the own needs of the holding (e.g. young vegetable plants such as cabbage or lettuce seedlings) are included under the heading of the crop concerned. II. Includes green forage seeds. D/20 Other arable crops I. Arable crops not included under D/01 to 19 or under D/21. D/21 Fallow land I. All land included in the crop rotation system, whether worked or not, but not producing a harvest for the duration of a crop year. II. Fallow land is not to be confused with successive crops (I/01) and unutilized agricultural area (H/01). The essential characteristic of fallow land is that it is left to recover, normally for the whole of a crop year. Fallow land may be: 1. bare land bearing no crops at all; 2. land with spontaneous natural growth, which may be used as feed or ploughed in; 3. land sown exclusively for the production of green manure (green fallow). E. KITCHEN GARDENS I. Land separated off from the rest of the holding and recognizable as kitchen garden, devoted to the cultivation of products which are mainly for consumption by persons living on the holding. II. Not included are: - pleasure gardens (parks and lawns) (H/03), - areas cultivated by collective households, for example research institutions, religious communities, boarding schools, prisons, etc. These areas count as an agricultural holding if such a holding, while linked to a collective household, is operated in such a way as to fulfil the other criteria of an agricultural holding. These areas are, in the same way as the areas of an agricultural holding, classified according to their use. F. PERMANENT PASTURE AND MEADOW F/01 Pasture and meadow, excluding rough grazing I. Land other than rough grazing, not included in the crop rotation system, used for the permanent production (five years or longer) of green forage crops, whether sown or self-seeded. II. The following are excluded: - rough grazing, whether used intermittently or permanently (F/02), - non-used pasture and hill or mountain grazing (H/01). F/02 Rough grazing I. Pasture, usually on hilly land, unimproved by fertilizer, cultivation, reseeding or drainage. II. This can include: stony ground, heath, moorland and 'deer forests' in Scotland. Rough grazing not in use is excluded (H/01). G. PERMANENT CROPS I. Crops not grown in rotation, other than permanent pasture, which occupy the soil for a long period and yield crops over several years. II. This category includes nurseries (except non-commercial nurseries of forest trees grown in woods, which are included under woodland), and plants used for plaiting or weaving (osier, reeds, rushes, etc.: G/06). Permanent crops which are treated as vegetables or as ornamental plants or industrial plants (e.g. asparagus, roses, decorative shrubs cultivated for their blossom or leaves, strawberries, hops) are not included in this category. G/01 Fruit and berry plantations I. Areas containing trees and bushes for the production of fruit. Orchards may be of the continuous type with minimum spacing between trees or of the non-continuous type with large spacing, and may not contain other crops. II. Chestnut trees are included. Citrus and olive plantations and vines are excluded (G/02, 03, 04). G/01 (a) Fresh fruit and berry species of temperate climate zones G/01 (b) Fruit and berry species of subtropical climate zones II.

G/04 (b) Vineyards, of which normally producing: other wines I. Crops of wine grape varieties grown for the production of wines other than quality wines psr. G/04 (c) Vineyards, of which normally producing: table grapes G/04 (d) Vineyards, of which normally producing: raisins G/05 Nurseries I. Areas of young ligneous plants grown in the open air for subsequent transplantation: (a) vine and root-stock nurseries; (b) fruit tree nurseries; (c) ornamental nurseries; (d) nurseries of forest trees (excluding those for the holding's own requirements grown within woodland); (e) trees and bushes for planting in gardens, parks, at the roadside and on embankments, e.g. hedgerow plants, rose trees and other ornamental bushes, ornamental conifers, including in all cases their stocks and young seedlings. II. Commercial forest-tree nurseries, whether in woodland or outside, are included under G/05, as are non-commercial forest-tree nurseries for the holding's own requirements grown outside woodland. However the (generally small) nurseries for the holding's own requirements grown within woodland are included with other woodland (item H/02). In tabular form: >TABLE> G/06 Other permanent crops I. Open-air permanent crops other than those included under G/01 to 05 and in particular those for plaiting or weaving (011.93). G/07 Permanent crops under glass (see D/15, D/17) H. OTHER LAND 'Other land' includes unutilized agricultural land (agricultural land which is no longer farmed, for economic, social or other reasons, and which is not used in the crop rotation system) and other land (land occupied by buildings, farmyards, tracks, ponds, quarries, infertile land, etc.). H/01 and H/03Unutilized agricultural land (agricultural land which is no longer farmed, for economic, social or other reasons, and which is not used in the crop rotation system) and other land (land occupied by buildings, farmyards, pleasure gardens, tracks, ponds, quarries, infertile land, rock, etc.). II. As from 1988, categories H/01 and H/03, which were treated separately up to the 1987 survey, are dealt with as a single characteristic: 'H/01 and H/03'. In the current list of definitions, these two characteristics are still listed separately to ensure continuity between the surveys carried out from 1988 on and previous ones. H/01 Unutilized agricultural land (agricultural land which is no longer farmed, for economic, social or other reasons, and which is not used in the crop rotation system) I. Area previously used as an agricultural area and during the reference year of the survey no longer worked for economic social or other reasons and which is not used in the crop rotation system. II. This land could be brought back into cultivation using the resources normally available on an agricultural holding. The following are excluded: - pleasure gardens (parks and lawns) (H/03), - fallow land (D/21). H/02 Woodland I. Areas covered with trees or forest shrubs, including poplar plantations inside or outside woods and forest-tree nurseries grown in woodland for the holding's own requirements. II. Where agricultural crops are combined with woodland the area is split pro rata to the use of the ground. Wind-breaks, shelter-belts, hedgerows, etc. should be included in so far as it is appropriate to regard them as woodland. Christmas trees are included here. The following are excluded: - walnut and chestnut trees grown mainly for their fruit (G/01), other plantations of non-forest trees (G) and osieries (G/06), - areas of isolated trees, small groups or lines of trees (H/03), - parks (H/03), gardens (parks and lawns) (H/03), pasture (F/01 and F/02) and unutilized rough grazing (H/01), - heath and moorland (F/01 or H/01), - commercial forest-tree nurseries and other nurseries outside woodland (G/05).

H/02 (d) Coniferous Woodland where at least 75 % of the trees are coniferous. H/02 (e) Mixed I. All other woodlands not included under H/02 (c) or H/02 (d). H/03 Other land (land occupied by buildings, pleasure gardens, farmyards, tracks, ponds, quarries, infertile land, rock, etc.). I. All those parts of the total area belonging to the agricultural holding which constitute neither utilized agricultural area, non-utilized area or woodland. II. This heading covers in particular: 1. areas not used directly for crop production, but necessary for working the farm, such as ground occupied by buildings or roadways; 2. areas unsuitable for agricultural production, i.e. which can be cultivated only by extreme means not normally available on an agricultural holding, for example marshland, heaths, etc. 3. pleasure gardens (parks and lawns).

The survey must record the area of the beds available for growing crops which are or will be filled with compost at least once during the 12-month reference period. If this is done more than once the area is still counted once only. I/03 Irrigated area I/03 (a) Total irrigable area I. The maximum area which could be irrigated in the reference year using the equipment and the quantity of water normally available on the holding. II. The total irrigable area may differ from the sum of the areas provided with irrigation equipment since the equipment may be mobile and therefore utilizable on several fields in the course of a harvest year; capacity may also be restricted by the quantity of water available or by the period within which mobility is possible. I/03 (b) Area of crops which are irrigated at least once a year I. Area of crops which have actually been irrigated at least once during the 12 months prior to the survey date. II. Crops under glass and kitchen gardens, which are almost always irrigated, should not be included. If more than one crop is grown in a field during the harvest year, the area should only be indicated once: for the main crop, if irrigation was used for it, or otherwise for the most important irrigated secondary or successive crop. I/04 Ground area covered by greenhouses in use I. Greenhouses are fixed or movable installations of glass, plastic or any other material which is translucent but impervious to water, in which crops are grown under protective cover. The following are excluded: - fixed, movable or adjustable frames, - low (non-accessible) plastic tunnels, - cloches. II. Only greenhouses used during the 12 months preceding the date of the survey should be included. The base area covered by the greenhouses should be given.

Simultaneous cultivation of temporary crops (arable crops or pasture and meadow) and permanent crops and/or forestry plants in one and the same field, and in the broader sense also the simultaneous cultivation of different types of permanent or temporary crops in one and the same field. II. This characteristic covers the total area actually used for the combined crops. The subdivision of the total area into the different crops is dealt with under D to I 'Land use'. I/05 (a) Agricultural crops (including pasture and meadow) - forestry species I/05 (b) Permanent crops - annual crops I/05 (c) Permanent crops - permanent crops I/05 (d) Others I/06 Land subject to the set-aside incentive scheme for arable land and recorded under: (a) Fallow land, with rotation possibilities (D/21) (b) Permanent pasture and meadow used as grazing for extensive livestock farming (F/01 and F/02) (c) Lentils, chick peas and vetches (D/09) (d) Wooded areas or areas being prepared for afforestation (H/02) (e) Areas for the time being or permanently used for non-agricultural purposes (H/01 and H/03) (f) Total I.

'Work which contributes to production' includes, inter alia, the following tasks: - organization and management (buying and selling, accounting, etc.), - field-labour (ploughing, hay-making, harvesting, etc.), - raising of animals (preparation and distribution of feed, milking, care of animals, etc.), - all work carried out on the holding in respect of storage, processing and market-preparation (ensiling, butter-making, packing, etc.) - maintenance work (on buildings, machinery, installations, etc.), - own-account transport, in as far as this is carried out by the holding's own labour force. The following are not included: labour working on the holding but employed by a third party or under mutual-aid arrangements (e.g. labour of agricultural contractors or cooperatives). Also excluded from 'agricultural work for the holding' are: - work for the private household of the holder or the manager and their families, - any forestry, hunting, fishery or fish farming operation (whether or not carried out on the holding), however a limited amount of such work carried out by an agricultural worker is not excluded if it is impossible to measure it separately, - work in respect of any non-agricultural activity carried on by the holder. All persons of retiring age who continue to work on the holding are included in the farm labour force. In the case of holdings where the holder is not a natural person the sections 'holder' (L/01), 'spouse' (L/02) and 'other members of the family' (L/03 (a) and L/03 (b)) are not completed. The manager is recorded under L/01 (a) and considered to be non-family labour. L/01 and L/01(a)Holder and holding manager: these are defined under B/01 and B/02 Age at which compulsory education ends in each Member State: - Belgium: 14 years, - Denmark: 16 years, - Germany: 15 years, - Greece: 14 years, - Spain: 16 years, - France: 16 years, - Ireland: 15 years, - Italy: 14 years, - Luxembourg: 15 years, - Netherlands: 16 years, - Portugal: 14 years, - United Kingdom: 16 years. Although in Portugal compulsory education ends at the age of 14, in the framework of structure surveys young people working in agriculture are recorded from the age of 12. The observation period may be less than 12 months if the information provided is on a 12-months basis. L/02 Holder's spouse II. Only spouses carrying out 'agricultural work' for the holding surveyed (see above) should be included. Where the spouse is the holding manager he or she should be entered under L/01 (a). L/03 Other members of the holder's family I. 'Other members of the holder's family' are those other than the holder's spouse who live and work on the holding or who live elsewhere but do agricultural work on the holding. II. 'Members of the holder's family' means: the spouse, relatives in the ascending or descending line and other relatives (including those by marriage and by adoption). It is irrelevant whether or not such persons receive a wage. Where a member of the holder's family is the holding manager he or she should be entered under L/01 (a). L/04 to 06Non-family labour I. All persons doing agricultural work for and paid by the agricultural holding other than the holder and members of his family. L/04 Non-family labour regularly employed I. Regular employment: Persons who worked every week on the holding under survey during the 12 months preceding the survey, irrespective of length of the working week. Persons who worked regularly for part of that period, but where unable, for any of the following reasons, to work for the entire period are also included: 1. special conditions of production on the holding; 2. absence by reason of holidays, military service, sickness, accident or death; 3. commencement or cessation of employment with the holding; 4. complete stoppage of work on the holding due to accidental causes (flooding, fire, etc.). II. Holdings with special conditions of production (point 1 above) include, for example, holdings specializing in growing olives or grapes or fruit and vegetables in the open or in fattening cattle on grass and only requiring labour for a limited number of months. Point 3 above covers workers who move from one farm to another during the 12 months before the day of survey. Short-term seasonal workers, e.g. labour engaged solely as fruit and vegetable pickers, are not included here but under L/05 and 06, where the number of days worked is entered. L/05 and 06Non-family labour not regularly employed I. 'Not regularly employed', workers who did not work each week on the agricultural holding in the 12 months preceding the survey day for a reason other than those listed under L/04. L/01 to 06The time worked on the holding I. The working time actually devoted to agricultural work for the holding, excluding work in the households of the holder or manager. 'Full-time' means the minimum hours required by the national provisions governing contracts of employment. If these do not indicate the number of annual hours then 1 800 is to be taken as the minimum figure (225 working days of 8 hours per day). A working day is any day during which there is performed for a period of not less than eight hours work of the kind normally carried out by a full-time agricultural worker. Days of leave and sickness do not count as working days. OTHER GAINFUL ACTIVITY L/07 to/ L/09Other gainful activity I. Every activity other than activity relating to agricultural work as defined under L, carried out for remuneration (salary, wages or other payment, including payment in kind, according to the service rendered). II. This includes gainful activities carried out on the holding itself (camping sites, accommodation for tourist, etc.) or on another agricultural holding as well as activity in a non-agricultural enterprise. Major occupation I. Activity declared by the respondent as being his main activity. II. Normally an activity which occupies more time than that relating to the agricultural work done for the agricultural holding under survey. Subsidiary occupation I. Any other activity of a respondent who declares the agricultural activity of the holding under survey to be his main activity. II. Normally an activity which occupies less time than that relating to the agricultural work done for the agricultural holding under survey. L/10 Total number of working days of agricultural work, not included under L/01 to L/06, undertaken on the holding by persons not employed directly by the holding (e.g. contractors' employees). I. All types of agricultural work (see notes under L/01 to L/06 'Farm labour force of the holding') undertaken on the holding by persons who are not employed by the holding, but are self-employed or employed by third parties, e.g. contractors or cooperatives. II. Persons working on the holding surveyed on behalf of another person are included. Work done by agricultural accounting firms and unpaid mutual aid are excluded. The number of hours worked must be converted into the equivalent number of days or weeks on a full-time basis. (1) OJ N° L 99, 5. 5. 1970, p. 20. (2) OJ N° L 84, 27. 3. 1987, p. 59.
