(3) Annex VIII is amended as follows:

(a) the paragraphs below the title are replaced by the following:

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:

Specific data values are captured at column level. In the tables set out below, clear cells are where data values can be accepted; greyed cells marked with a — have no meaning in the group context, so no data is accepted in those.

Examples:

B.UT.20.A (column A of the group UT, category 20, from table B) represents the Area of Rented UAA to be recorded under the UAA for tenant farming in table B.

I.A.10110.1.0.TA (column TA of the group A, category 10110, from table I) represents the total area of Common wheat and spelt for type of crop 1 Field scale crops – main crop, combined crop and missing data code 0 No data missing.

M.S.1150.1.2.V (column V of the group S, category 1150 with other specific category codes 1 and 2 from table M) represents the subsidy value of Basic Income Support for Sustainability – based on payments entitlements that is financed solely from the Union budget and is granted per ha.

When a value is not relevant or missing for any particular holding, do not enter value 0.

Tables are represented by one letter, groups by one or more letters, categories by numeric codes and columns by one or more letters.

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.

The data in a farm return should be given with the following degrees of accuracy:

financial values: values in EUR or in national monetary units without decimal. However, for national currencies where the unit represents a low relative value compared to the EUR, it may be agreed between the liaison agency of the Member State in question and the staff of the Commission which manages the FADN, to express the values in hundreds or thousands of national currency units,

physical quantities: in quintals (1 q = 100 kg) except in the case of eggs, which will be expressed in thousands and wine and related products which will be expressed in hectolitres,

areas: in ares (1 a = 100 m2), except in the case of mushrooms which will be expressed in square metres of total cropped area and except in Table M Subsidies, where basic units are to be registered in ha,

average livestock numbers: to two decimal places, except for poultry and rabbits, which are to be given in whole numbers, and bees which are to be given in number of occupied hives,

labour units: to two decimal places.

For each table category and column value, further definitions and instructions are set out after the table concerned.;

Table M SUBSIDIES covers grants and subsidies received by agricultural holdings from public bodies, both national and EU. It also covers administrative information on greening payments.

GROUPS OF INFORMATION IN TABLE M

S

Subsidies

Grants and subsidies are defined by category of subsidy (S), financing and basic units. For each entry, the number of basic units (N) and the amount received (V) are to be recorded. There might be several records per category of subsidy as the basic units and/or financing origins might differ.

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). Investment subsidies and rural development payments other than payments to areas facing natural or other specific constraints 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).

AI

Administrative information

Certain obligations of Member States relating to good agricultural and environmental conditions of land (GAEC standards 2, 8 and 9) are defined by category of administrative information (AI). The number of basic units (N) and/or the type (T) are to be recorded for each entry, as specified in the table.

The number of basic units (N) corresponds to area concerned by GAEC standards are expressed in hectares.

The type (T) refers to the application of the GAEC at farm level and is to be selected from the list below:

CodeDescription1Agricultural holding has an obligation to comply with the administrative requirement.2Agricultural holding benefits from an exemption specified in GAEC.

ANNEX II

Annex VIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 is amended as follows:

(2) in the explanatory notes to Table J, the following note is inserted after the note on J.AN. Average number (to be recorded for column A only):

J.RN. Reference number (to be recorded for column N only)

The reference number is the number of animals typically present on the farm at a given moment. It is used to calculate the standard output of the holding and its economic size. Contrary to the average number (AN), it enables to account for a period during which there is a lower number or no livestock on the holding for an exceptional period of time due to an exceptional break in the production cycle (e.g. disease outbreaks).

Number (column N)

Number of livestock should be indicated in heads or in number for beehives, expressed to two decimal places.

This information should not be provided for the other animals (category 900).

The data relating to the variable J.RN.Reference number may be provided in exceptional cases (e.g. disease on the holding, or culling for sanitary reason) as from the accounting year 2022. The submission is voluntary..
