Regulation (EU) 2018/1091 sets in Annex V precision requirements for core and modules.
The core data (in 2023 and 2026) and the module data shall be statistically representative for the relevant populations of agricultural holdings as defined in the precision table below at the level of NUTS 2 regions in terms of the size and the type of the agricultural holdings, in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1198/2014 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220.
The precision requirements apply to the variables in the table below.
The data in the frame extension in 2020 shall be statistically representative for the relevant population at the level of NUTS 2 regions as defined in the precision table below. In addition, the precision requirements defined in the table apply to all NUTS 2 regions with at least:
- 5 000 agricultural holdings in the relevant population for the ''Orchard'' and "Vineyard'' modules;
- 10 000 agricultural holdings in the relevant population for the core data, for all other modules and for the data in the frame extension.
For NUTS 2 regions with fewer agricultural holdings the precision requirements defined in the table apply to the associated NUTS 1 regions with at least:
- 500 agricultural holdings in the relevant population for the ''Orchard'' and "Vineyard'' modules;
- 1 000 agricultural holdings in the relevant population for core data, all other modules and the data in the frame extension.
A national precision of maximum 5 % relative standard error is required for those variables of the "Orchard" and "Vineyard" modules with no applicable precision requirement for any NUTS 2 and NUTS 1 regions.
A national precision of a maximum of 7.5% relative standard error is required for all variables of the other modules with no applicable precision requirement for any NUTS 2 and NUTS 1 regions for any variable.
All articles in table 2 below refer to Regulation (EU) 2018/1091 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 July 2018 on integrated farm statistics and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1166/2008 and (EU) No 1337/2011.
