Pre-established application form: reference parcel and

Whether reference parcel area is partially declared

drawing a sketch is compulsory.

Geo-spatial aid application form: reference parcel

geometries when full area is declared and sketch

geometry when reference parcel is partially declared.

Cross-checks between declared areas and LPIS information.

Detection of overlaps when the sum of the declared areas does not

exceed that of the reference parcel:

2.4 Spatial Checks

Declared areas:

Farmer 1: 0,25 ha

Farmer 2: 0,14 ha

Total: 0,39 ha

Reference parcel area: 0,41 ha

These type of overlaps

are not detected with

only alphanumerical

data

3) CONCLUSIONS

Management of the GSAA requires a greater workload and staff with

GIS knowledge.

GSAA allow to make more effective checks comparing with

alphanumerical.

Geo-spatial data makes the on-the-spot checks easier, specially those

related to “greening”

Control and amendment of overlaps is a very laborious work. It is

important to make an effort in prevention and try to avoid them.

Farmers should be aware of the implications of the GSAA.

Provision of information to farmers and publication of the applications

layer has contributed to the decrease of overlaps and penalties.
