Scenario 1 – Average UAA considering common land units and their land
Scenario 2 – Average UAA disregarding common land units and their land
Scenario 3 – Average UAA after allocation of common land from common land units and removal of common land units
It results that by implementing the proposal of allocating the common land from common land units to agricultural holdings and removing the common land units, the average UAA increases from 33.1 hectares to 34.3 hectares. This increase is not significant. The increase can be significant for the breakdowns, as illustrated in the following two sub-sections.

Consider that the average areas are disseminated by age of manager and that the first 8 agricultural holdings (holding IDs from 4 to 11) have a manager whose age falls in the same age band.
Common land units should not have recorded information on managers. Thus, the average UAA under scenario 1 cannot be computed because it is unclear how to distribute the number and area of common land units by age bands.
For scenario 2 and scenario 3, the same computations as above but now only for the first age band lead to the following results.
Scenario 2 – Average UAA disregarding common land units and their land
Scenario 3 – Average UAA after allocation of common land from common land units and removal of common land units
Analysis of the average areas by size of agricultural area in different scenarios
Consider that the average areas are disseminated by size of agricultural area. 6 agricultural holdings have the utilised agricultural area of 100 hectares and over.
The same computations as above but now only for the largest size group lead to the following results.
Scenario 1 – Average UAA considering common land units and their land
Scenario 2 – Average UAA disregarding common land units and their land
Scenario 3 – Average UAA after allocation of common land from common land units and removal of common land units
Conclusion
There are two possible ways of disseminating the UAA averages, both of which being correct as long as the meaning of the averages are communicated to the user:
