Abstract: The impact assessment of the environmental policy integration into the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the EU requires combination of data on bio-physical and economical conditions as well as data on agricultural practice. A major restriction for comparative assessment is that data sources are collected, managed and distributed by different institutions and those datasets are not harmonised across Europe. The challenge is to allocate macro-economic statistics to the farm on landscape level. In this paper we investigate the potentials for use of the CAP administrative datasets in the development of environmental indicators. The basic concepts of the Integrated Administrative and Control Systems (IACS) datasets and common core model are described. This paper gives an example on the development of High Nature Value (HNV) farmland indicators based on the use of data from the administrative register.
