Status:

Status
The term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section.
Sometimes the text of a provision is changed, but the change(s) only apply to a particular geographical area. In some limited cases where this happens, the editorial team create a version for each different geographical area. Multiple versions are only created in this way where the change in question is a substitution so that there are different versions of the text for the different extents. Insertions and repeals of text do not give rise to such multiple versions.
Changes to legislation:
There are currently no known outstanding effects by UK legislation for Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 640/2014, Article 6.

[F1Article 6E+S+N.I.Quality assessment of the identification system for agricultural parcels
1.[F2The relevant authority] shall annually assess the quality of the identification system for agricultural parcels for the purpose of the basic payment scheme F3... 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;
(b)
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;
(c)
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:
(a)
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;
(b)
the ratio of [F4declared][F4claimed] area in relation to the maximum eligible area inside the reference parcels;
(c)
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 [F5relevant authority] shall take appropriate remedial action.
2.[F6The relevant authority] shall perform the assessment referred to in the paragraph 1 on the basis of a sample of reference parcels to be selected [F7by the constituent nations]. They shall use data allowing to assess the current situation on the ground.
[F83.An assessment report and, where appropriate, the remedial actions and the timetable for their implementation shall be drawn up by the relevant authority by 31 January [F9following the calendar year in question].]]
