[F1Council 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]

(codified version)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 37(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament(1),

Whereas:

(1) Regulation No 79/65/EEC of the Council of 15 June 1965 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Economic Community(2) has been substantially amended several times(3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.

(2) The development of the common agricultural policy requires that there should be available objective and relevant information on incomes in the various categories of agricultural holding and on the business operation of holdings coming within categories which call for special attention at Community level.

(3) The accounts of agricultural holdings constitute the basic source of essential data for any assessment of incomes on agricultural holdings or study of their business operation.

(4) The data collected should be obtained from agricultural holdings specially and suitably selected in accordance with common rules and be based on verifiable facts. Such data should reflect technical, economic and social conditions on the holdings involved, be taken from individual holdings, be available as quickly as possible, be based on uniform definitions, be presented in a common form and be usable at all times and in full detail by the Commission.

(5) Those objectives can be attained only by means of a Community network for the collection of farm accountancy data (hereinafter referred to as ‘data network’), based on the farm accountancy offices existing in each Member State, enjoying the confidence of the parties concerned and relying on their voluntary participation.

(6) In order to obtain accounting results that are sufficiently homogeneous at Community level, the returning holdings should be distributed among the various divisions and the various categories of holdings on the basis of a stratification of the field of survey based on the Community typology for agricultural holdings as established by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1242/2008 of 8 December 2008 establishing a Community typology for agricultural holdings(4).

(7) The divisions of the data network should, as far as possible, be identical with those used for the presentation of other regional data that are essential in order to provide guidelines for the common agricultural policy.

(8) For management reasons, the Commission should be authorised to amend the list of divisions of Member States, at the request of a Member State.

(9) The field of survey of the data network should comprise all agricultural holdings of a certain economic size, irrespective of any outside work the operator may engage in. This field should be re-examined periodically in the light of the new Farm Structure Survey data.

(10) Returning holdings should be selected in accordance with the rules laid down in the context of a selection plan aimed at obtaining a representative accounting sample of the field of survey.

(11) In view of the experience gained, it is desirable that the main decisions concerning the selection of returning holdings, particularly the establishment of the selection plan, should be adopted at national level. Consequently, it is at that level that a body should be made responsible for this task. Those Member States which have several divisions should, however, be free to maintain regional committees.

(12) The national liaison agency should play a key role in the management of the data network.

(13) In selecting agricultural holdings and analysing and evaluating the data collected it is necessary to refer to data derived from other sources.

(14) Farmers should be given an assurance that their accounts and all other individual details obtained pursuant to this Regulation will not be used for taxation purposes or for purposes other than those provided for in this Regulation or divulged by persons participating or having participated in the Community farm accountancy data network.

(15) In order that it may satisfy itself as to the objectivity and relevance of the data collected, the Commission should be in a position to obtain all necessary details concerning the manner in which the bodies entrusted with the selection of agricultural holdings and the accountancy offices participating in the Community farm accountancy data network discharge their duties and, if necessary, to send experts to work on the spot with the collaboration of the competent national authorities.

(16) The data network is a useful tool which enables the Community to develop the common agricultural policy and it serves, as a consequence, the Member States as well as the Community. The costs of the computerised systems on which the network relies and of studies and development activities of other aspects of the network, should therefore be eligible for Community financing.

(17) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(5),

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

CHAPTER IU.K. [F1CREATION OF A UNION FARM ACCOUNTANCY DATA NETWORK]

  • to assess the income of the holding in its various forms,

  • to test, by means of spot-checks, the veracity of the information given.

3. The data on the farm return shall relate to a single agricultural holding and to a single accounting year of 12 consecutive months, and shall concern exclusively that agricultural holding. Those data shall refer to agricultural activities of the holding itself and other gainful activities directly related to the holding. No data related to any non-farming activities of the farmer or of his family, or to any pension, inheritance, private bank accounts, property other than the agricultural holding, personal taxation or private insurance, shall be taken into account in preparing the farm returns.
