WP2
: Inventory of legislation and
geotraceability data management
2) Report on the inventory of the use of
space data in the LPIS/GIS
The
objective of this delivrable is to gain in understanding
the technical and operational aspects of the IACS systems
related to the use of remote sensing data or the data
capture and management system in the two test regions.
It also realises a comparison of identifiers used by
the IACS in the different member countries.
In both regions of interest (Gers department and
Walloon region), the IACS data capture follows a similar
management plan which can be summarized in 4 steps:
(i) printing of application forms by Administration
and sending them to farmers, (ii) filling in aid applications
by farmers and sending them back to Administration,
(iii) graphic and administrative encoding, control
and (iv) finally restitution of payment to farmers.
All the information collected in this report about
the IACS data capture and management systems currently
in force in the test regions give a good overview of
the functioning of the systems. A comparison of results
allowed to bring out the common characteristics of
both systems as well as their differences and to anticipate
where changes for traceability and certification specificities
have to be introduced.
In the two test regions, there exist similarities
between the farm codification systems, which in both
cases comprise a number for the farmer and another
one for its production units, but the codes used for
units have no explicit geographical reference. The
basic control units also differ (farm blocks or parcels)
and the identifier used for the IACS systems are not
really structured. These identifiers have no geographical
character. This comparison between identifiers used
by the IACS in the different countries authorizes to
put in evidence the possibility to have recourse to
geo-identifiers in the frame of an integrated geo-traceability
approach.
With respect to traceability purposes the use of
a unique geo-identifier should allow to facilitate
data exchange. Through the comparison of parcel identifiers
in the two test regions, it was possible to bring out
the basis to define the characteristics of a unique
geotraceability identification and coding system which
will be developed in WP3.
