Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2476of 9 November 2023amending and correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 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

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2476 of 9 November 2023 amending and correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 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 the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, 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 OJ L 328, 15.12.2009, p. 27. , and in particular Article 5(1), third subparagraph, Article 5a(2) and Article 8(3), third and fourth subparagraphs, thereof, Whereas: (1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 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 (OJ L 46, 19.2.2015, p. 1). lays down the thresholds of economic size per Member State in its Annex I, the number of returning holdings per Member State and per Farm Accountancy Data Network division in its Annex II, and the form and layout of presentation of the accountancy data in its Annex VIII. (2) Finland requested to change the threshold of economic size and the number of returning holdings due to structural changes in its agriculture, which have led to an overall decrease in the number of holdings, in particular the smaller ones. Applying the revision of the economic size threshold and the adjustment of the number of returning holdings as of the accounting year 2024 would give enough time to Finland to implement the changes. (3) Following changes in the denomination of the Common Agricultural Policy subsidies, the name of the code 60 in Table E of Annex VIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 should be adapted to reflect those changes. (4) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 was last amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2499 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2499 of 12 December 2022 amending and correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 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 (OJ L 325, 20.12.2022, p. 31). . In Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2499, the column Y2 of rows 10, 20, 30 and 70 of the second Table C of Annex VIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 were unintentionally closed for data reporting. That error should be corrected. (5) Applying the corrections to Table C of Annex VIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 already for the accounting year 2023 would ensure that there is no break in data series in 2023, and applying the amendments to Table E of that Annex for the accounting year 2023 would allow that table to be adapted at the same time as the first year of implementation of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 of the European Parliament and of the Council

Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 2 December 2021 establishing rules on support for strategic plans to be drawn up by Member States under the common agricultural policy (CAP Strategic Plans) and financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and repealing Regulations (EU) No 1305/2013 and (EU) No 1307/2013 (OJ L 435, 6.12.2021, p. 1). . (6) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly.
