1.Member States shall annually assess the quality of the identification system for agricultural parcels for the purpose of the basic payment scheme and the single area payment scheme as referred to in Chapter 1 of Title III of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013. That assessment shall encompass two conformance classes.
The first conformance class shall cover the following elements in order to assess the quality of the identification system for agricultural parcels:
the correct quantification of the maximum eligible area;
the proportion and distribution of reference parcels where the maximum eligible area takes ineligible areas into account or where it does not take agricultural area into account;
the occurrence of reference parcels with critical defects.
The second conformance class shall cover the following quality elements in order to identify possible weaknesses in the identification system for agricultural parcels:
the categorisation of reference parcels where the maximum eligible area takes ineligible areas into account, where it does not take agricultural area into account or reveals a critical defect;
the ratio of declared area in relation to the maximum eligible area inside the reference parcels;
the percentage of reference parcels which have been subject to change, accumulated over the years.
Where the results of the quality assessment reveal deficiencies in the system, the Member State shall take appropriate remedial action.
2.Member States shall perform the assessment referred to in the paragraph 1 on the basis of a sample of reference parcels to be selected and provided by the Commission. They shall use data allowing to assess the current situation on the ground.
3.An assessment report and, where appropriate, the remedial actions and the timetable for their implementation shall be sent to the Commission by 31 January following the calendar year in question.
