ANNEX II List of common performance indicators referred to in Articles 4(1)(a) and 21(3)(a) of this Regulation and Article 56(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 The system of common performance indicators related to actions undertaken by producer organisations, associations of producer organisations and their members under an operational programme does not necessarily capture all the factors that may intervene and affect the outputs, results and impact of an operational programme. In this context, the information provided by common performance indicators should be interpreted in the light of quantitative and qualitative information relating to other key factors contributing to the success or failure of the programme's implementation. 1.

COMMON BASELINE INDICATORS Nota bene: Baseline indicators are needed in the analysis of the situation at the start of the programming period. Certain common baseline indicators are only relevant for the individual operational programmes at the level of producer organisation (e.g. volume of the production marketed at less than 80 % of the average price received by the PO/APO). Other common baseline indicators are also relevant for the national strategies at the level of the Member States (e.g. total value of marketed production). As a general rule, baseline indicators are to be calculated as three-year averages. If data are not available, they should be calculated at least with data related to one year. Objectives Baseline indicators related to objectives Overall objectives Indicator Definition (and measurement) Improving competitiveness Total value of marketed production Total value of marketed production of the PO/APO (Euro) Improving the attractiveness of the producer organisation membership Number of fruit and vegetable producers who are active members of the PO/APO concerned Number of fruit and vegetable producers who are active member ( 9 ) of the PO/APO Total area under fruits and vegetable production cropped by members of the PO/APO concerned Total area under fruit and vegetable production cropped by members of the PO/APO (ha) Specific objectives Promoting concentration of supply Total volume of marketed production Total volume of marketed production of the PO/APO (tons) Promoting the placing on the market of products produced by the members Ensuring that production is adjusted to demand in terms of quality and quantity Volume of the marketed production that meets the requirements of a specific ‘quality scheme’ ( 10 ) by main types of ‘quality schemes’ concerned (tons) Boosting products' commercial value Average unit value of marketed production Total value of marketed production/Total volume of marketed production (EUR/kg) Promoting knowledge and improving human potential Number of people having participated in training activities Number of people who completed a training activity/programme during the last three years (number) Number of holdings using advisory services Number of holdings, members of the PO/APO, using advisory services (number) Objectives Baseline indicators related to objectives Indicator Definition (and measurement) Specific objectives in the environmental area Contributing to soil protection Area at risk of soil erosion with anti-erosion measure Area under fruit and vegetable production at risk of soil erosion ( 11 ) where anti-erosion measures are implemented (ha) Contributing to maintaining and improving water quality Area with reduction in use/better management of fertilisers Area under fruit and vegetable production subject to reduction in use or better management of fertilisers (ha) Contributing to sustainable use of water resources Area with water-saving measures Area under fruit and vegetable production with water-saving measures (ha) Contributing to habitat and biodiversity protection and landscape conservation Organic production Area under organic production of fruit and/or vegetables (ha) Integrated production Area under integrated production of fruit and/or vegetables (ha) Other actions contributing to habitat and biodiversity protection and landscape conservation Area concerned by other actions contributing to habitat and biodiversity and landscape protection (ha) Contributing to climate change mitigation Greenhouse heating — energy efficiency Estimated annual consumption of energy for greenhouse heating purposes by type of energy source (Tons/Litres/m 3 /Kwh per ton of marketed production) Reducing the volume of waste generated Quantity or volume of waste Tons/Litres/m 3 ( 1 ) Each day of a promotion campaign counts as one action. ( 2 ) Market withdrawal of the same product in different periods of the year and market withdrawals of different products count as different actions. Each market withdrawal operation for a given product counts as one action. ( 3 ) Green-harvesting and non-harvesting of different products count as different actions. Green harvesting and non-harvesting of the same product count as one action, regardless of the number of days they take, the number of holdings participating and the number of plots or hectares concerned. ( 4 ) Actions relating to the setting up of different mutual funds count as different actions. ( 5 ) Including non-productive investments linked to the achievement of commitments undertaken under other environmental actions. ( 6 ) Including other forms of acquisitions of fixed assets linked to the achievement of commitments undertaken under other environmental actions. ( 7 ) ‘Quality’ requirements are intended here to consist of a set of detailed obligations concerning the production methods (a) the respect of which is subject to independent inspection, and (b) that result in a final product the quality of which (i) goes significantly beyond the normal commercial standards as regards public health, plant health or environmental standards and (ii) responds to current and foreseeable market opportunities. It is proposed that the main types of ‘quality schemes’ cover the following: (a) certified organic production; (b) protected geographical indications and protected designations of origin, (c) certified integrated production, (d) private certified product quality schemes. ( 8 ) Active members are members who deliver products to the PO/APO. ( 9 ) Active members are members who deliver products to the PO/APO. ( 10 ) ‘Quality’ requirements are intended here to consist of a set of detailed obligations concerning the production methods (a) the respect of which is subject to independent inspection, and (b) that result in a final product the quality of which (i) goes significantly beyond the normal commercial standards as regards public health, plant health or environmental standards and (ii) responds to current and foreseeable market opportunities. The main types of ‘quality schemes’ shall cover the following: (a) certified organic production; (b) protected geographical indications and protected designations of origin, (c) certified integrated production, (d) private certified product quality schemes. ( 11 ) ‘At risk of soil erosion’ shall mean any sloping plot with an inclination higher than 10 %, whether or not anti-erosion measures (e.g. soil cover, crop rotation, etc.) have been taken. Where the relevant information is available, a Member State may instead use the following definition: ‘At risk of soil erosion’ shall mean any plot with a predicted loss of soil exceeding the rate of natural soil formation, whether or not anti-erosion measures (e.g. soil cover or crop rotation) have been taken.
