Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1538 of 25 July 2023 laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) 2022/2379 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards crop production statistics (Text with EEA relevance)

L 187/40 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.7.2023 COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2023/1538 of 25 July 2023 laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) 2022/2379 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards crop production statistics (Text with EEA relevance) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2022/2379 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 November 2022 on statistics on agricultural input and output, amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 617/2008 and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1165/2008, (EC) No 543/2009 and (EC) No 1185/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Directive 96/16/EC(1), and in particular Articles 4(6), 5(10), 7(2) and 9(4) thereof, Whereas: (1) Regulation (EU) 2022/2379 establishes an integrated framework for developing, producing and disseminating European statistics as regards agricultural inputs and outputs. (2) It is necessary to specify the data requirements for producing statistics on agricultural inputs and outputs as regards crop production in order to produce comparable data between Member States and to achieve harmonisation. (3) Pursuant to Article 5(10) of Regulation (EU) 2022/2379, this Regulation specifies technical elements of the data to be provided. Those elements consist of the list of variables, the descriptions of the variables, the observation units, the precision requirements to be applied, the methodological rules to be applied, and the deadlines for transmitting the data. (4) It is necessary to specify the variables for which the regional and organic dimensions are required as they are needed only for some variables. (5) The coverage of the data sets should be specified beyond the requirements in Article 4(3) of Regulation (EU) 2022/2379 where appropriate, to avoid inconsistencies between Member States. (6) The reference periods mentioned in Article 9(4) of Regulation (EU) 2022/2379 should be further specified. (7) The crop yields are important indicators in agricultural production and should therefore be part of the data. However, the Commission (Eurostat) should calculate this indicator on the basis of data transmitted. (8) The humidity contents of produced crops and the sugar contents of sugar beets vary considerably between years and create obstacles in comparing production volumes over time and between countries. Information on national standard humidity and sugar contents is therefore needed to create comparable statistics. (9) Pursuant to Article 7(2) of Regulation (EU) 2022/2379, Member States can be exempted from providing data for predefined variables at certain deadlines if the impact of their production on the Union total of those variables is limited. This is the case if their production is below specific thresholds. It is necessary to specify those thresholds, the methodology used to set them up, the sources of data used in applying this methodology, and the data to which this exemption applies. (1) OJ L 315, 7.12.2022, p. 1.26.7.2023 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 187/41 (10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee as established by Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 Data requirements Member States shall provide data on the domain of crop production statistics referred to in Article 5(1), point (b) of Regulation (EU) 2022/2379 in the form of aggregated data sets. The data on total and organic production shall be transmitted to the Commission (Eurostat) at the required geographical level. Article 2 Datasets (1) The data contents of the datasets are specified in: (1) Annex I for topic (i), crop area and production, for the detailed topics: (1) Arable crops and permanent grassland; (2) Horticulture excluding permanent crops; (3) Permanent crops; (2) Annex II for topic (ii), crop balances, for the detailed topics: (1) Cereal balances; (2) Oil seed balances; (3) Annex III for topic (iii), grasslands, for the detailed topic: (1) Management of grasslands. (2) For each dataset, Section I specifies: (1) a description of the data contents; (2) the variables to be provided at national and, where required, at regional level; (3) the variables to be provided on organic production; (4) the deadlines for transmission of the data to the Commission (Eurostat); (5) the reference periods. (3) For each dataset, Section II specifies, where appropriate: (1) a description of the measurement units; (2) technical requirements related to the variables; (3) thresholds for exemptions to data transmission deadlines. (2) Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2009 on European statistics and repealing Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1101/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the transmission of data subject to statistical confidentiality to the Statistical Office of the European Communities, Council Regulation (EC) No 322/97 on Community Statistics, and Council Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom establishing a Committee on the Statistical Programmes of the European Communities (OJ L 87, 31.3.2009, p. 164).L 187/42 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.7.2023 Article 3 Precision requirements When data collections are carried out based on statistical samples, Member States shall ensure that the weighted results are representative of the statistical population within the relevant geographical unit and are designed to meet the precision requirements set out in Annex IV. Where precision requirements are not applicable, for example due to sources other than statistical surveys, the quality of the statistics shall be ensured so that they are representative of the scope that they describe, and they shall meet the quality criteria laid down in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 223/2009. Article 4 Descriptions For the purposes of this Regulation, the descriptions of terms as set out in Annex V shall apply. Article 5 Methodology for exemptions (1) Member States may be exempted from certain regular data transmission deadlines in the event that the impact of that Member State on the Union total of those variables is limited. (2) Data transmission exemptions shall be granted for variables in datasets of the topic ‘crop area and production’ provided that their application does not reduce the information on the expected Union total of the corresponding variable by more than 5 %. The Commission (Eurostat) shall calculate reference threshold values for the production of each crop subject to exemptions. These reference threshold values shall be calculated based on a three-year average of statistical data on production volumes. (3) A Member State where the production of a crop has been lower than or equal to the reference threshold value for three successive years shall be exempted from transmitting data for all (sub)variables belonging to this crop for certain deadlines, as indicated in each Section II of the data sets in Annex I. The exemption shall be automatically revoked if the relevant production value of the Member State exceeds the reference threshold value for three successive years. Data transmission shall commence for the reference year following the third consecutive year in which the reference threshold value is exceeded. The exemption shall be automatically reinstated if the Member State’s production of the relevant crop is below or equal to the reference threshold for three successive years. (4) The reference threshold values are laid down in each Section II of Annex I. The Commission may amend any of these values if the average Union total stays lower than 90 % or higher than 110 % of the Union total used for calculating the reference threshold values for three successive years. Article 6 Entry into force This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. It shall apply from 1 January 2025.26.7.2023 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 187/43 This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

In case the crop is sown or planted more than once during a year on the same parcel, the area is multiplied with the number of plantings. Main area: refers to the physical area of the parcel(s), regardless of whether there was only one single crop or several crops during the harvest year. In the case of annual crops, the main area corresponds to the sown area; in the case of combined crops, it corresponds to the area where the crops co-exist; in case of successive sowings or crops, the area is taken into account only once; in case of permanent crops, in addition to the production area also non-productive young plantations and temporarily abandoned areas are included. In this manner, each area is listed only once. Harvested production: refers to the total harvested production from which harvest losses have been removed. The production for cereals, dry pulses and oilseeds shall be reported in terms of clean, dry weight of grains in the stable standard market humidity level in the country. Rice is reported in terms of paddy. Production data of root crops should be reported in terms of clean weight, i.e. free of plant tops and leaves, soil and mud. The production of plants harvested green from arable land and permanent grassland includes the volume of harvest done by cutting and grazing. The data shall be reported in terms of dry matter. Production of other crops shall be reported in the stable standard market humidity level in the country, where humidity impacts marketing, in the form mainly used for trade. The countries shall provide information on the stable standard market humidity levels in the countries, mentioned above, to the Commission (Eurostat) from which Eurostat shall recalculate the production in EU standard humidity for standardisation purposes. For sugar beet, countries shall provide data on the sugar content of the harvested production of the harvest year with the final production data to the Commission (Eurostat) from which Eurostat shall recalculate the production in the EU standard sugar content (16 %) for standardisation purposes. Certified organic area: refers to areas, excluding areas during the conversion period referred to in Article 10 of Regulation (EU) 2018/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council(1), which are managed in compliance with the requirements applicable to organic production, as set out in Regulation (EU) 2018/848 or, where applicable, in the most recent legislation Area under conversion to organic: refers to areas during the conversion period referred to in Article 10 of Regulation (EU) 2018/848 or, where applicable, in the most recent legislation, which are managed in compliance with the requirements applicable to organic production. Area certified or under conversion to organic: refers to areas that are either Certified organic areas or Areas under conversion to organic. Certified organic harvested production: refers to the harvested production from ‘certified organic areas’ as defined above. Organic areas and production are included in the total areas and production. Technical requirements related to the variables Crop yield is calculated by dividing the total harvested production by the total sown area. Eurostat will calculate the crop yields based on the data transmitted. Weather-related incidents having major impacts on the harvested production shall be reported to the Commission (Eurostat).
