REPORT 2012

December 2012

Foreword

Every year, the European Commission, Directorate General for Agriculture and Rural

Development, publishes the report "Agriculture in the European Union statistical and

economic information", devoted to a wide range of topics and covering the EU Member

States and the acceding and candidate countries.

This report contains information related to the macroeconomic environment as well as to

the economic situation in agriculture, such as farm structures, agricultural income,

markets, trade, rural development and financial aspects of both pillars "direct payments

and market measures" and "rural development".

An introductory chapter provides an overview of the 2012 agricultural year, followed by

detailed statistical tables on individual aspects.

Introduction

Methodology

The 2012 Agricultural year

THE 2012 AGRICULTURAL YEAR

General overview

1. The 2012 agricultural year in the EU was characterised by a stable real

agricultural income per labour unit1, after the income growths recorded in 2011

(+8%) or in 2010 (+17%). On aggregate, since 2005 the EU-27 agricultural real

income per labour unit has increased by 28.5% driven by an increase in factor

income (+3%) and a decline in labour force (-20%).

The stable EU 2012 agricultural income masks a sharp contrast between the

members states; the highest increases of the agriculture income per worker are

expected in Belgium (+27.8%), Latvia (+21%), Lithuania (+17.5%), the

Netherlands and Germany (each by +14.9%), while the highest decreases would

be recorded in Romania (-27.1%), Poland (-13.7%) and Slovenia (-12.2%).

In 2012 the increase in the EU-27 value of agricultural output (+2% in real

terms) is linked to the performance of the value animal output (+3.1%) and to a

lesser extent to that of the crop production (+1.4%).

The rise in value in the crop production is due to an increase in real prices

(+7%) offset by a decrease in volumes (-5.2%). The decrease in volume was

registered for almost all crops categories: cereals (-6.4%) of which grain maize

(-13.4%), wine (-15.4%), potatoes (-14.6%), raw tobacco (-8.5%), protein

crops (-12.7%), sugar beet (-3.2%) and fruits (-7.6%). Olive oil was the only

product to show an increase (+8%). Producer prices for crops are projected to

have increased substantially in real terms in 2012 as compared to 2011, notably

for cereals (+9.4%) and oilseeds (+12.0%), while being lower for rice (-13.3%).

The growth in the value of animal output (+3.1%) in 2012 is the result of an

increase in real producer prices (+3.8%) and of a small cut in production

volumes (-0.6%). Producer prices increased for equines (+14%), pigs (+9.6%)

and cattle (+8.1%) which at the same time showed a drop in volumes (of -

0.8%, -1.7% and -2.5% respectively). Average producer prices for animal

products declined slightly by 0.5% of which egg prices increased the most

(+30.6%) and for milk dropped by -4.8%, with lower volumes for eggs (-1.7%)

or stable for milk.

Intermediate consumption (agricultural input costs) for the EU-27 is

estimated to have increased by 2% mostly because of higher input prices

(+3.5% on average in real terms), driven by price heights for fertilisers and

energy and lubricants (each by +6.5%), and feeding stuffs (+4.1%). The

volume of intermediate consumption went down by -1.4%, and mirrored

reductions in the use of fertilisers (-4.6%), seeds (-7.5%) as well as energy

(-2.5%).

2. The EU economy continued to slow down in 2012. Real Gross Domestic Product

growth rate is estimated at EU level to decrease by 0.3%2, a double dip following

the economic recession in 2009. The figures show a different distribution among

the EU countries: the highest level of growth rate is expected in the Baltic States

for the second year in a row (Estonia 2.5%, Lithuania 2.9% and Latvia 4.3%)

and Slovakia (2.6%). The main Mediterranean Countries show strong decrease

led by Greece (-6.0%) and followed by Portugal (-3%), Italy (-2.3%) and Spain

(-1.4%). France, Germany and the UK would reach +0.2%, + 0.8% and -0.3%

respectively. At world level3, real GDP is estimated to have increased by 2.5%.

Overall consumer price inflation in 2012 is estimated at 2.6%, while annual food

price inflation stood at 2.9%. The Euro depreciated against the US Dollar

reaching its lowest value since 2010 in July, at 1.21$/. The following months

were characterised by a slow re-appreciation of the exchange rate, standing at

1.31$/ at the end of 2012.

3. 2012 provisional agricultural trade4 data shows an extraordinary development

with a net trade of 14.3 Bn. Agricultural imports would increase by 3%, while

exports would mark an increase by 12%. As a whole, the main destination

partner remains the US with a total value of 16.5 Bn, representing the 14% of

the total and with an increase of 13% comparing to 2011; the main exported

product to the US (almost half of the value) belong to the group "beverages".

For imports the main origin remains the MERCOSUR area which accounts for

21.4% of total imports, in particular Brazil and Argentina (14% and 6%), where

the main imported products are animal feedingstuffs and oilseeds.

EU agricultural exports are estimated to reach around 116 Bn (+12%

compared to 2011). The increase is particularly evident for "Sugar" (+22%),

"Beverages" (+15% or 3.1 Bn more) and "Cereal preparations" (+18% or

+1.2 Bn). Prepared products represent almost 62% of EU exports in terms of

value. . The main destinations for cereal exports remain Maghreb Countries,

Saudi Arabia and Egypt. As regard the meat sector, exports improved by half a

Bn Euro (+7% compared to 2011). The dairy products export marked an

increase by +8%. Russia remains the main destination for meat and dairy with

1.6 and 1.2 Bn respectively.

The value of the estimated 2012 EU agricultural imports would increase to

approximately 102 Bn (+3% compared to 2011). Tropical products were the

most significant EU imports reaching over 24 Bn. The imported products which

marked the highest increase were the "live animals" (+35%), "oilseeds" (+15%)

and "animal or vegetable fats and oils" categories (+6%).

Overview on agricultural markets5

4. The area cultivated under cereals (excluding rice) in the marketing year

2012/2013 is expected to stand at 56.9 Mio ha. This would represent an increase

of 1 Mio ha or 1.9% compared with the 2011/2012 level (0.7 Mio ha in EU-15

and around 0.3 Mio ha in EU-N12). However, average yields of 4.81 t/ha (6.7%

below the yield in 2011/2012, and below the five-year average by 3.4%) would

lead to a total usable cereal harvest estimated at 271.5 Mio t, which is -4.9% or

3 Source: Global Insight 4 A report with complete 2012 figures will be available in March at http://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/trade-analysis/statistics/index_en.htm 5 The reader should bear in mind the different marketing years (i.e. from harvest to harvest) for the

agricultural products: cereals, oilseeds and olive oil (July-June), rice (September-August), sugar

(OctoberSeptember) and wine (August-July). Forecasts for 2012/2013 are based on latest forecast balance sheets available at:

http://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/analysis/markets/sto-crop-meat-dairy/2012-09_en.pdf http://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/cereals/balance-sheets/cereals/2012-2013-forecast_en.pdf

about 14.1 Mio t lower than in 2011/2012 (285.7 Mio t). The decrease in yields

is mainly due to the impact of the drought in some Central and Eastern Member

States (Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria). As regards individual crops production,

2012 revealed a mixed picture: common wheat, maize, sorghum and triticale

recorded lower levels compared to 2011 harvest, while durum wheat, barley,

rye, oats and other cereals experienced an increase in production.6

5. EU-27 oilseed area is estimated at 10.9 Mio ha in the marketing year

2012/2013. Total oilseed production would stand at 27.1 Mio t. This would

represent a decrease by 7.1% in comparison with the previous year when

oilseed production reached 29.2 Mio t. Average oilseed yields would almost reach

2.5 t/ha, 2.1% lower than the 2.54 t/ha of 2011/2012.

6. Protein crops production would mark a strong decrease to 2.2 Mio t in

2012/2013 (about 19.3% lower compared to the previous year), steered by a

strong decrease in area from 1.1 Mio ha to 0.895 Mio ha (-18.6%).

7. The EU rice production reached 1.77 Mio t (in milled equivalent) in 2011/2012,

down 4% from the previous year but still by 3% above the 5-year average. The

area sown with rice reached a new record with 479 000 ha, up 1% from the

previous year. The yields with 6.4 t/ha (on paddy basis) were rather favourable,

even though slightly lower than in 2010/11. The Italian rice output, mostly due

to the lower yields, decreased by almost 10% to 0.81 Mio t (in milled equivalent)

from the 2010/11 to 2011/12. During the same period, the Spanish production

increased by 1% to 0.55 Mio t due to the stable areas and slight increase of

yields.

The estimated rice consumption reached 2.52 Mio t in 2011/2012, which largely

corresponds to the 5-year average; however it was down 5% from the former

marketing year. The estimated stocks at the end of the marketing year

(31 August 2012) were at 0.45 Mio t, which was by 6% lower than one year

before. There were no public intervention stocks of rice in 2011/12. The rice

imports (on milled basis) decreased from 0.97 to 0.86 Mio t in 2011/12, whilst

the exports dropped from 0.22 to 0.17 Mio t.

The major EU prices remained basically stable at around 270-300/t (with Indica

quotations slightly lower than Japonica) in 2011/12, which was by 90-100%

above the reference price level.

As regards the 2012 harvest, the EU rice production is expected to be around

1.71 Mio t (in milled equivalent) in 2012, down 4% from the previous year and

some 3% below the 5-year average. The area sown with rice decreased for the

first time since 2008/09, reaching only 450 000 ha, i.e. down 6% from 2011.

The yields are expected to reach 6.5 t/ha, slightly up from 2011, which can

partly compensate for the area loss.

8. According to the International Sugar Organization (ISO), global sugar production

amounted to 175.05 Mio t in 2011/2012, nearly 10 Mio t more than in

2010/2011. Sugar consumption reached 168 Mio t, thus the campaign

2011/2012 resulted in a global sugar surplus of 6.9 Mio t.

6 Soft wheat -4.5%, barley +1.8%, grain maize -18.6%, rye +24%, oats +1.7%, sorghum -14.9%

triticale -1.4% and other cereals +4.8%.

19


This situation is expected to continue in the marketing year 2012/2013, when

sugar production is expected to reach a record of over 177.6 Mio t (+2.5 Mio t

higher than in 2011/2012), whereas consumption would increase to 171.4 Mio t.

Thus, 2012/2013 would bring a sizeable surplus of about 6.2 Mio t.

In the 2011/2012 marketing year the EU production of sugar and isoglucose

under quota reached 14 Mio t plus an additional 5.4 Mio t of out-of-quota sugar

and isoglucose, of which 0.7 Mio t released on domestic market. The overall

sugar and isoglucose consumption would be 16.3 Mio t plus 1.95 Mio t out-of-

quota (November 2012 estimate). In order to ease fluidity on the EU market the

Commission took several exceptional measures for the 2011/2012 marketing

year, notably two releases of out of quota sugar on the EU market (0.4 Mio t in

December 2011 and 0.25 Mio t in May 2012) and import tenders at reduced levy

for a total of 0.4 Mio t (0.384 Mio t of raw sugar and 0.015 Mio t of white sugar).

The carry forward of sugar from 2011/2012 to 2012/2013 is important and

estimated to 0.82 Mio t.

According to preliminary forecasts for 2012/2013, the EU sugar beet area would

reach 1.59 Mio ha (+1.8% more than in 2011/2012 marketing year). The

production under quota would reach 13.8 Mio t of which 0.7 Mio t for isoglucose.

Sugar prices were less volatile during 2012 than during 2011. World market

prices for white sugar ranged from 540/t in July 2012 to 425/t in September

2012. On 1 October 2009 the white sugar reference price reached 404/t, its

final level following the 2006 sugar reform. The average EU market price for

sugar increased significantly in 2011/2012: from 634/t in October 2011 to

708/t September 2012. The difference of quotation between the London 5 and

the EU community price for sugar reached 270/t in September 2012.

9. Production declarations for the 2011/2012 marketing year indicate a total must

production for wine and grape juice at about 163.5 Mio hl (0.6% lower than the

previous year) of which 156.3 Mio hl were vinified.

As result of the lower 2011/2012 production level and the increase of the

exported volumes, the overall stock level decreased by 8.2 Mio hl (-5%). Stocks

of "Other wines" have decreased during the 2011/2012 campaign by 6 Mio hl

reaching at the end of the campaign 30.8 Mio hl, corresponding to 9 months of

human consumption.

In July 2012 Spanish red regular wines without P.D.O/P.G.I were marketed at

3.39 /hectograde (+54% compared to the last year), Italian red regular wines

without P.D.O/P.G.I at 4.05/hectograde (+46%), French red regular wines

without P.D.O/P.G.I decrease to 3.95/hectograde (-11%). Quotations for white

regular wines without P.D.O/P.G.I are often based on insufficient volumes to be

considered truly representative.

2011/2012 exports in volume terms increased by 7% reaching 23.4 Mio hl,

whereas imports slightly decreased (-0.8%) during the campaign 2011/2012

compared to the previous year. Exports in value increased by 14% to 8.6 billion

resulting in a positive trade balance of 6.2 billion, an increase of 19%

compared to 2010/2011.

10. 2012 was in global terms a positive year for the fruit and vegetable sector. No

major crisis shake EU production and prices maintained a balanced level.

20


The 2012 peaches and nectarines campaign developed correctly compared to

last year and to the average of the last three years. The peaches production

decreased by slightly 2% and nectarines increased by around 9% compared to

2011. The Spanish campaign was characterised by small calibres, which caused

lower prices than the expected. Also in Italy calibres and, as a consequence,

prices were influenced by heat waves and draught. However, in global terms,

both peaches and nectarines prices were higher compared to the last year and to

the average of the last three years, which included two years crisis (2009 and

2011). Apricots production registered a record level in 2012.

Due to a higher production, compared to the previous season, apple and pears in

2011/2012 campaign ended with low prices. On the contrary, unfavourable

climatic conditions and frost all over EU during the flowering season (Spring

2012), caused a generalised decrease of apples production, affecting the

current 2012/2013 campaign. Latest estimates set the total EU production at

9.7 Mio t, -9% compared to the previous season. For this reason prices are

currently reported to be higher than the average. Concerning pears, bad

weather conditions affected even more severely EU pears. Production went 30%

down compared to the previous campaign and set at 1.8 Mio t according to latest

estimates. Prices are reported to be at a good level all over EU.

In 2011/2012 citrus fruit production was 4% below the previous season with

around 11 million t although in line with the average last ten years. Oranges

decreased by 3%, lemons by 1%. Orange's prices decreasing and fluctuating in

the first half of the year rose in the second part. The same trend was recorded

for lemons. Positive export performance has been observed with +17% for

oranges and +4% for lemons compared with previous season. The EU citrus

production for the 2012/13 campaign is forecasted at 10.2 Mio t, a level lower

than the previous one (which was particularly high) by 10.5%. In Spain, the

main EU citrus producer, production is expected to fall down by 5.8% (oranges

+2%, small citrus -13.1%, lemon -12.1%, grapefruit +2.3%), whereas the

decrease in Italy will be -14.2% (red oranges -40%, golden oranges -15%, small

citrus -7.8%, lemon -15%). Prices at the beginning of the campaign were

satisfactory.

Good prices marked the end of 2011/2012 tomatoes winter campaign (January-

May), helping producers to recover a bit from bad market conditions of the

previous year. Nevertheless, expectations were not met in the first part of

tomatoes summer campaign characterised by stagnating prices. Bad weather

conditions (rainy spring and summer in most of the EU) and the conjunction on

the market of production from different origins delayed the taking off of prices

which finally hiked in August maintaining a satisfactory level till the end of the

season. 2012/2013 winter campaign started with optimal conditions and,

notwithstanding a brief parenthesis due to the full entrance in the production

season of third countries, prices are currently set at a good level.

2012 potatoes production decreased almost everywhere in EU compared to the

previous year. Prices are showing a very good level compared to 2011.

According to preliminary data, comparing the first 10 months of 2012 with the

same period of 2011, EU imports of fresh or dried fruit and nuts decreased by

2.6% to around 9.7 Mio t in 2012, following an on-going trend of the past years.

As usual, bananas (-3%) and other tropical fruit (-3%) account for more than a

21


half of the imported volumes. Imports of nuts (tropical and non-tropical)

increased by 2.9% compared to 2011. Concerning those products, mainly

imported to complement the EU seasonal production, citrus fruit increased by

almost 1.3% representing 18% of the total fruit import, pip fruit decreased by

20% (7.3% of the total import), table grapes increased by 5% and stone fruit

increased by 11% while representing only 1.6% of the total imported fruit.

In the first 10 months of 2012, EU exports of fresh or dried fruit and nuts

reached 3.2 million t, +20% above the same period of 2011. With Russia as the

main destination, exports of fresh apples and pears increased by 27% and pip

fruit representing almost 50% of the total export. Following 2011 trend but at a

slower pace, 2012 registered an increase in citrus fruit exports, +5%, for all the

products, while going in detail oranges registered a +6% and for easy peelers -

6%. Peaches and nectarines increased by +18% following last year trend, at

higher pace though; apricots showed an outstanding export performance

registering an increase of 60% compared to 2011.

In the first 10 months of 2012, the EU imported slightly more than 1.2 Mio t of

fresh vegetables, which represents a decrease of 11% compared to 2011

(excluding potatoes). Main imported products are tomatoes (-5%) representing

on its own 25% of the total vegetables import, onions (-29%) representing 18%

of the total, sweet peppers (-8%), carrots and turnips (+19%) and garlic

(-10%). Potatoes import decreased by 15% compared to 2011. EU exports of

fresh vegetables increased by 10%, making up for 1.5 million t in the first 10

months of 2011, excluding potatoes. The main products exported are onions

(+12%) representing a share of 42% of the total export, followed by tomatoes

(+40%), 15% of the total export, brassicas (-8%) and sweet peppers (+9%).

Garlic export doubled (+98%), representing a tiny of the total export 1%

though. Export of potatoes decreased by 34% but compared to 2011, an

exceptional export year for this specific product.

11. According to data submitted by producing countries, olive oil production in the

2011/2012 marketing year is estimated to have reached 2.4 Mio t (of which

1 613 400 t produced in Spain, 450 000 t in Italy, 295 000 t in Greece, 76 200 t

in Portugal, 5 600 t in Cyprus, 3 300 t in France and 500 t in Slovenia). This

quantity represents an 11% increase compared to 2010/2011. During the same

period, the average price for extra virgin olive oil situated at around 2 175/t

(10% more than in the previous year). As for the trade flows between EU and

extra EU partners, imports increased by 48% and reached 121 300 t in

2011/2012 with respect to 2010/2011, while exports amounted to 434 000 t,

10% lower than during the previous campaign.

12. As for the EU beef sector, December 2011 survey indicated a continuous

reduction of cattle herds against the previous year (-1.4%). The livestock

numbers decreased in most of the EU countries and more pronounced in main

producing countries, such as France (-2.4%), Germany (-1.4%) and the UK

(-2.2%). As a consequence, according to recent forecasts7, the 2012 EU beef

and veal production would decline by 4.8% against 2011. In beef meat trade

with third countries, the EU changes its position as net exporter in volume

acquired in 2011 into net importer (excluding live cattle trade). The main driver

7 Short Term Outlook for arable crops, meat and dairy products, September version available at: http://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/analysis/markets/sto-crop-meat-dairy/2012-09_en.pdf

22


has been the reduction trend in EU cattle herd which resulted into lower

slaughtering and consequently into lower exports. Beef meat imports into the EU

in 2012 are expected to be 6% lower than 2011 driven by lower production in

main global producers, strong demand from emerging countries and the

relatively weak Euro. Beef meat exports would have declined by 43% due to

lower domestic availability, and certain replacement on meat export by live

cattle export to Mediterranean destinations. Beef exports to Turkey came back to

pre-2011 levels though live cattle exports increased. The overall EU beef and

veal consumption in 2012 is expected to decline and per capita consumption to

situate at 15.3 kg. Producer prices persisted at record levels throughout 2012 for

all categories (young bulls, steers, cows and heifers) overtaking last year levels.

Quotations for young bulls registered a new record level in December

(396/100 kg). Steer, heifer and cow prices are situated, as well, at very high

levels over 2012.

13. As far as the EU pig sector is concerned, high feed costs throughout 2012 were

offset by high pig meat prices maintaining producer margins at average levels.

The pig herd contracted by -1.7% (December 2011 survey against December

2010 survey) and more pronounced for breeding sows (-3.2%) which translated

into slightly lower pigmeat production (-0.5%). As regards exports, 2012 is

comparable to the exceptional year 2011: the EU would export around 2.2 Mio t

of pig meat, representing nearly 10% of the domestic production. Russia, China

and Ukraine would represent the main export destinations (about 34% of EU pig

meat exports). Pig meat imports into the EU, although marginal, further

decreased to 14 000 t in 2012, 8% down compared to 2011 with Chile being the

main origin accounting for almost half of all EU imports. Pig meat consumption is

estimated to slightly decrease in 2012 and the per capita consumption to reach

41.2 kg. The 2012 EU average carcass price up to November set at

171 Euro/100 kg was around 18 /100 kg more than a year before.

14. Poultry meat production would increase by about 1.5% in 2012. Imports

maintained at the same level as it was in 2011. Although still in top place (with a

share of approximately 70% of all imports), imports from Brazil are expected to

decline by 7%. EU is expected to enjoy a good level of exports as well in 2012,

in particular due to a strong demand in Ukraine, South Africa, Benin and Ghana.

EU poultry meat exports would grow by 1.5% in 2012 as compared to 2011. EU

broiler prices are at their highest level in the past years averaging 192/100 kg

(+3% compared to 2011 level). EU poultry meat consumption in 2012 would

increase by an estimated 1.5% and per capita consumption would situate at

23.9 kg.

15. EU sheep meat production is estimated to decline by 1.6% in 2012. Regarding

trade, sheep meat imports in 2012 decreased by 20% due to lower availabilities

in New Zealand. The volume of exports, though marginal would increase to

22 000 t. EU sheep meat consumption would fall by -5.6% with per capita

consumption situating at 2.2 kg. Higher prices in 2012 are expected as well for

sheep meat: the EU average price of light lamb in 2012 up to October was

594/100 kg carcass weight while the price of heavy lamb amounted to

507/100 kg carcass weight.

16. After high prices in the first half of 2011, dairy commodity prices followed a

decreasing trend from the summer 2011 till May 2012. However, in June-July

they started to recover as supply pressure receded. The average EU farm gate

23


milk price reached 32/100 kg in September 2012, which was 8% below

September 2011 level.

Milk production is estimated to have increased to 153.1 Mio t in 2012 (+1.5%

compared to 2011) thanks to a continuous increase in milk yields both in EU-15

and EU-N12 which compensates for the contraction in the herd. EU dairy herd

size is estimated at 22.7 Mio heads in 2012, corresponding to a reduction of

0.8%. The average yield per dairy cow is estimated to have increased to

6 584 kg (+1.7%).

According to recent forecasts, milk deliveries to dairies would have reached

140.1 Mio t in 2012 (+1.1% compared to 2011) with France, and Germany

leading the growth in EU-15 milk deliveries (+1%) and the Baltic States and

Poland generating a 2.5% increase in the EU-N12.

EU cheese production is estimated at 9 061 Mio t for 2012, corresponding to an

increase of 1%. Domestic use is expected to slightly increase (+0.2%) and per

capita consumption to remain at 16.7 kg. EU exports are estimated to increase

by around 11% to reach 756 000 t.

EU butter production is estimated to have increased by 2.7% in 2012 or

58 000 t, to reach 2.25 Mio t. Imports would have increased to 35 000 t while

EU butter exports are estimated to have been maintained at the same level as in

the previous year. EU consumption is expected to have slightly improved

compared to 2011 with per capita consumption around 4.2 kg.

EU skimmed milk powder production is estimated to have increased by 9% in

2012 to reach 1 164 000 t driven by continuous growth in exports (+19%).

Nevertheless, remaining consumption would have slightly declined (to

630 000 t). In 2012, the 53 000 t of SMP from the public stocks reserved for

2012 were released under the most deprived persons' scheme.

Drinking milk production is estimated to have increased by 1.1% in 2012, cream

by 1.3%, and fermented milk to have declined by 0.4%. Per capita consumption

of fresh dairy products as a whole would have increased by a slight 0.4% to

94 kg.

Codification of the tables

Codification of the tables

The choices made for the revision of the tables are reflected in a new codification,

established on the basis of the same principle for all the tables. Each of them has been

given a code with four digits, the first of which designates the subject to which the table

refers (see table of contents following this foreword):

1. Conversion rates,

2. Basic data,

3. Economic tables,

4 . Tables on agricultural markets.

The second and third digits refer to specific aspects of the field concerned and their

significance varies from one field to another.

For the tables concerning the agricultural markets (Tables 4) a standard codification for all

the products has been used for these two digits:

The second digit of the code designates the agricultural product concerned,

The third digit refers to the nature of the statistic presented:

..0. livestock numbers,

..1. area, yields and production (crop products) or slaughterings and

production (livestock products),

..2. world production,

..3. external trade,

..4. supply balance,

..5. prices (producer prices, market prices, consumer prices),

..6. market management,

..9. various.

For certain sectors, all the possibilities are used (e.g. cereals). For other products only

some are used (e.g. potatoes), either because the data needed are not available or

because the features of these sectors in the EU do not justify such an exhaustive

presentation in a general document such as this, which, for considerations of space, can

provide only the most important information.

Currency units used in this report


1. European Monetary System (EMS) ecu

Entry into force of the EMS on 13 March, 1979 (Regulations (EEC) No 3180/78 and

No 3181/78 of 18 December, 1978) brought in the ecu as sole unit of account for

the Community. Its definition is identical to that of its predecessor the EUA except

for a review clause allowing changes in its composition. The ecu is a currency unit

of the basket type made up of specified amounts of currencies of the EMS

member countries determined mainly on the basis of the economic size of each. It

is defined by Council Regulation (EC) No 3320/94. The central rates used in this

system are rates set by the central banks around which the market rates of the

EMS currencies may fluctuate within spot margins.

2. The ecu in the common agricultural policy

Before 9 April, 1979, the unit of account used in the agricultural sector was

the u.a. defined by Regulation (EEC) No 129/62 and the representative

rates (green rates) were fixed by the Council.

On 9 April, the ecu began to be used in the CAP (Regulation

(EEC) No 652/79) and is still being used (Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92).

On the changeover from the u.a. to the ecu on 9 April, 1979 common

agricultural prices and amounts expressed in u.a. and converted into ecu

were adjusted by the coefficient 1,208953. The green rates were however

adjusted by the reciprocal coefficient 1/1.208953, leaving national price

levels unchanged.

For example,

100 u.a. x 3,40 = DEM 340 because ECU 121 x 2,81 = DEM 340.

For the recording of world market prices, offer prices are converted at the

representative market rate, which is an average of the rates recorded on

the market. The common agricultural prices and amounts are set in ecu and

converted into national currency at the agricultural conversion rates.

Since 1 January, 1993 these have been adjusted by the Commission

whenever their divergence from representative market rates exceeds

specified margins.

Between the beginning of the 1984/85 marketing year and 31 January,

1995 all conversion rates used for agriculture were multiplied by a

correcting factor under the switchover mechanism the effect of which was

to express the common agricultural prices and amounts in a unit of account

derived from the ecu, the green ecu. This correcting factor, originally

1,033651, was increased in line with the revaluation of the EMS currency

appreciating most among those observing all the rules. On abolition it was

1,207509. As on the changeover from the u.a. to the ecu in 1979 common

agricultural prices and amounts were increased in ecu by a factor of

1,207509 on 1 February, 1995 and all conversion rates used in agriculture

reduced by a factor of 1/1,207509 so making the operation neutral in

national currency terms.

3. Introduction of the euro

On 1 January, 1999 the currencies of the 11 Member States adopting the single

currency were replaced by the euro but, during the transitional period until the end

of 2001, units of national currency will continue to be used as subdivision of the

euro. Series in ecu have been left unchanged as far as the past is concerned but

are expressed in euros from 1 January 1999. Series in euro are the statistical

continuation of series in ecu.

Fixed conversion rates of the euro

The conversion rates irrevocably fixed between the euro and the currencies of the

Member States adopting the euro are:

EUR 1 = 40,3399 Belgian francs

= 1,95583 German marks

= 166,386 Spanish pesetas

According to context, different currency units have been used in this publication. The

statistical series in terms of value are also calculated:

at constant exchange rates, i.e. at the exchange rates obtaining during a specific

period (e.g. 1980). These rates are used to eliminate the influences of

exchange-rate changes on a time series;

at current exchange rates (notably for external trade).

To assist the user of this publication wishing to convert units of account into national

currencies and conversely, Table 1.0.1, gives the rates to be used. Further information is

given in specialized publications of the European Commission.

B Economic Accounts for Agriculture (EAA): implementation of a new

methodology

1. The Economic Accounts for Agriculture are drawn up according to a new

methodology, which was published in the "Manual on Economic Accounts for

Agriculture and Forestry EAA/EAF (Rev. 1.1)" (EUROSTAT, 2000,

ISBN 92828-2996-0).

2. The introduction of the new methodology has resulted in a number of changes in

the data, as a result both of the change in the methodology itself and of the use of

new data sources. Some of the changes have had a direct impact on value added

and thus on the measurement of agricultural incomes, whereas others have

altered only the level of certain aggregates without, however, affecting value

added and the measures of agricultural income.

3. The following methodological revisions affecting the measures of agricultural

income can be noted:

a. The recording of secondary, non-agricultural activities of agricultural units

where these activities cannot be separated from the main agricultural

activity. This mainly concerns the processing of agricultural products and

agri-tourism.

b. The exclusion of the output of units producing solely for own-final

consumption (e.g. kitchen gardens).

c. The exclusion of upstream and downstream production activity involved in

seed multiplication.

d. The recording of the output of wine and olive oil (from grapes and olives

produced on the holding).

e. The recording of various operations according to the principle of rights and

obligations, meaning that the amounts are recorded during the year in

which the claim or obligation, in the economic sense of the term, is

created, transformed or removed. For example, the value of subsidies

recorded in the accounts for year n corresponds to aid granted in year n

even if all or part of the payment takes place in year n+1 or at a later date.

f. The reclassification of certain agricultural aid which used to be classed as

"operating subsidies" and which will now be recorded as "capital transfers".

The value of this aid will no longer enter into the calculation of income.

4. Revisions which have had no impact on the measurement of income (all things

being equal) concern:

a. The valuation of output at basic prices. The basic price is defined as the

price received by the producer, after deduction of all taxes on products but

including all subsidies on products.

b. The abandonment of the concept of national farm: besides production

sold, stocked or for own-consumption by agricultural units, the production

of the agricultural industry will now include a part of output used as

intermediate consumption by the same unit (for example, grain or forage

used in animal feed).

40


C Annual rate of change (% TAV)

1. The annual rate of change (symbol:% TAV) is used throughout this report for the

calculation over periods of time of changes in a given aggregate. It measures the

compound annual average increase or reduction, as a percentage, of the variable

concerned from a base year

(T in the following equations).

2. The annual rate of change is calculated as follows:

(statistic for year T + N)

100 x Anti-Log [Log : N ] - 100 =% TAV

( statistic for year T)

Where the annual rate of change is calculated over only two successive years, N =

1 and the formula becomes:

statistic for year T + 1

100 x [ ] - 100 =% TAV

statistic for year T

3. The following series illustrates the use of this formula:

1990 1991 ... 1995 1996

Series = 100 000 112 000 161 051 177 156

1991 1995 1996

1990 1990 1995

% TAV 12,0 10,0 10,0

Remarks

1. From 1991 data for the former German Democratic Republic are included in the

figures for the Federal Republic of Germany and accordingly in the figures for the

EU as a whole.

2. Present report was based on data available up to December 2012.

3. From 1 January 1997 statistics for France and Spain have been amended to

include the French overseas departments (Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique

and Runion) and the Canary Islands respectively.

4. Data on the Acceding and Candidate Countries are gradually included in our

tables. These data are mostly based on the figures provided by Eurostat and the

Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development. The process of

harmonising the national statistics in the candidate countries is under way. The

figures provided are therefore not fully comparable with the figures for the

European Union and are expected to be revised frequently. We are publishing

them for information only. The Commission cannot be held responsible for how

the figures given for these countries are used or interpreted.
