Additional comments |
Until 2013 the provisional and final results were based on an annual survey that took place in two phases. The first phase was in August 2013 for the provisional results and the second phase for the final results took place in January 2014.

Additional information |
The humidity for cereals and pulses comes from the harvest survey. The humidity for green maize is an expert estimation. |
|
|
|
Which method is used for calculating the yield for main arable crops? |
|
If another method, describe it. |
In the survey farmers can choose to fill in the yield or production. For farmers who filled in the production instead of the yield, the yield will be derived from the production. For further calculations of the productions, the yields and cultivated areas have been used. |
|
Definitions |
Question |
In case yes, how do they differ? |
Do national definitions differ from the definitions in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 543/2009? |
YES |
The harvest area is the same as the cultivated area, but for the calculation of the production we take into account the losses causes by harvest failures. |
Are there differences between the national methodology and the methodology described in the Handbook concerning e.g. the item and aggregate calculations? |
NO |
|
Are special estimation/calculation methods used for main crops from arable land? |
NO |
|
Are special estimation/calculation methods used for vegetables or strawberries? |
NO |
|
Are special estimation/calculation methods used for permanent crops for human consumption? |
NO |
|
Are special estimation/calculation methods used for main land use? |
NO |
|
Do national crop item definitions differ from the definitions in the Handbook (D-flagged data)? |
NO |
|
In case yes, how do they differ? ( list all items and explanations) |
|
|
In case data are delivered for one of the items below, describe the crop species included in the item: |
