COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/220

of 3 February 2015

laying down rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Union

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 of 30 November 2009 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Union (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 5(1), Article 5a(2) and (4), Articles 5b(7) and 7(2), the third subparagraph of Article 8(3) and Article 19(3) thereof,

Whereas:

 

(1)

Following the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, Regulation (EU) No 1318/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) has amended Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 to align it to Articles 290 and 291 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. In order to ensure the functioning of the new legal framework resulting from that alignment, certain rules should be adopted by means of delegated and implementing acts. The new rules should replace the existing rules established by the Commission to implement Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009. It is therefore appropriate to repeal Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 283/2012 (3) and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 730/2013 (4).

 

(2)

In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, it is necessary to lay down thresholds of economic size. Such thresholds need to vary according to Member State and in some cases even to the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) division in order to take account of their different farming structures.

 

(3)

Article 5a of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 provides that data are to be collected on the basis of a plan for the selection of returning holdings (selection plan). For the purposes of the selection plan, the field of survey should be stratified according to the FADN divisions listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 and according to types of farming and economic sizes.

 

(4)

In order to provide a representative sample of returning holdings for the stratified field of survey, the number of returning holdings per Member State and per FADN division should be set.

 

(5)

The selection plan should be drawn up prior to the beginning of the corresponding accounting year in order to enable the Commission to verify its content before it will be used for the selection of returning holdings.

 

(6)

In order to achieve the objectives set out in Article 5b of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 which apply for the purposes of FADN, implementing rules for the Union typology should be established.

 

(7)

The type of farming and the economic size of the holding should be determined on the basis of an economic criterion. It is appropriate to use the standard output referred to in Article 5b(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 for that purpose. These standard outputs need to be established by product and in line with the list of characteristics of the farm structure surveys set out in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1166/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5). In this respect, a correspondence between the characteristics of the structure surveys and the headings of the farm return of the FADN needs to be established.

 

(8)

Given the increasing importance in terms of income of gainful activities directly related to the holding other than the agricultural activities of the holding, a classification variable reflecting the importance of such other gainful activities directly related to the holding should be included in the...
