Short description: 
Integrated Administration and Control System
Description: 

Since 1993 the european farmes are supported rather by direct subsidies than through guaranteed prices. This development continued with the Agenda 2000 and the reforms from 2003. The amount of the aids depends on the farmers tilled soil. Exceptions are made for some crops. The european member states are obliged to implement an Integrated Administrative and Control Systems (IACS) to properly manage and control the claims for crop - and animal – subsidies. Key elements of IACS are an integrated database with all informationen needed for the request procedure.

Relevance for European agri-sector: 

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is a system of European Union agricultural subsidies and programmes. It represents 42% of the EU's budget, €55 billion in 2009.

Description of the information exchange processes and exchanged data: 

The european farmes are supported rather by direct subsidies than through guaranteed prices. On this account the european member states are obliged to implement an Integrated Administrative and Control Systems (IACS) to properly manage and control the claims for crop - and animal – subsidies.
The IACS is an electronic register that contains all the information about each parcel required for cross-checking claims, including the identity of the holder, date of establishment, date of last activation, the origin (such as whether acquired by purchase, lease or inheritance) and the kind of entitlement, as well as their locations and accurate measurement.
There is a measurement tolerance of 5 percent of the parcel area or 1.5 metres to the perimeter, up to a maximum tolerance for each parcel of 1 hectare.

Conditions
Applicant has to own payment entitlements and the amount of the subvention depends mainly on the agriculturally used area

Known issues and bottlenecks for harmonization: 

Existing (software) solutions and the associated costs don't give much room for change. Furthermore the import of data from external sources is seen as major risk to data quality.
Open system have to deal with incorrect or inconsistent input. With regard to the legal relevance of the data in the request procedure the requirements concerning the quality control are very high.
The IACS authorities fear to invent a system that takes a lot of time and keep staff occupied. In some cases copyright restriction are another obstacle for an open treatment with data from the IACS procedure.
The authorities are not automatically the owner of all data, especially concerning geo data.
