Farm Accountancy Data Network
Document or Iniciative
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 Community.
Summary
The network for the collection of accountancy data is essential for the development and improvement of the common agricultural policy. It provides a comprehensive overview of the business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Union (EU).
The accountancy data network contains data relating to the economic activity of agricultural holdings. The information is collected from a sample composed of up to 105 000 agricultural holdings.
Organisation of the collection of accountancy data
Member States shall be responsible for surveys on their territory. To this end, they shall designate two authorities:
- the liaison agencies, which collect the data and forward them to the Commission;
- a National Committee, which is responsible for the selection of returning holdings. Where a Member State is composed of several divisions, the National Committee may rely on regional committees.
Moreover, the data collected by the liaison agencies shall be provided by the farm accountancy offices. The accountancy offices shall compile a farm return for each agricultural holding. The accountancy offices authorised to complete such returns must be approved by the liaison agencies.
Farm return
Each agricultural holding shall therefore be the subject of a farm return containing data which allow two types of study to be carried out:
- the assessment of incomes on agricultural holdings;
- the study of the business operation of agricultural holdings.
These studies shall enable the Commission to draw up reports on the situation of agricultural holdings and simulations of the impact of policy scenarios. These reports shall be used for the development and evaluation of the common agricultural policy.
Moreover, the Commission shall be assisted by a Community Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network for the definition of data, selection of holdings and analysis of data.

Farm Accountancy Data Network
The Farm Accountancy Data Network gathers information on the business operation of farms. This Regulation launches the network and describes how it works.
Document or Iniciative
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 [See amending acts].
Summary
The Farm Accountancy Data Network was set up in 1965 to provide the Commission with the information it needs to monitor farming business in the European Union (EU). It has the task of collecting and analysing data from a sample of up to 105 000 farms.
Each Member State appoints two bodies to take part in the survey:
- a liaison agency, which gathers and transmits the data
- a national committee, which is responsible for selecting returning holdings. Where a Member State is composed of a number of divisions, this body relies on regional committees.
The accountancy offices draw up a separate return for every returning holding for which they are responsible. These returns contain essential information on factors of production and the other particulars required to assess the farm’s income.
The Commission is also assisted by the Community Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network.
Other provisions
No individual accountancy data or other individual details obtained under this Regulation may be used for tax purposes, or be divulged or used for purposes other than those specified in the Regulation.`
