Spain This pape aemps o develop a valuaion mehod fo esimaing he make value of he single paymen sysem (SPS) enilemens in he communiy agiculual policy (CAP) efom. These enilemens ae a new agiculual inangible asse which is no linked o land and has a simila financial pefomance o bonds. Afe applying he PERT mehod, which was applied o he inheen isk involved in valuing fixed income asses, and specifically o he unceainy of CAP afe 203, his mehodology is applied o esimae he aveage value of enilemens in Spain. Addiional key wods: agiculual inangible asse, CAP, PERT, value. Resumen Valoación de los deechos pocedenes del égimen de pago único: aplicación al caso de España El pesene abajo peende desaolla un méodo de valoación paa esima el valo de mecado de los deechos geneados en el égimen de pago único (RPU) de la efoma de la políica agaia comuniaia (PAC), que suponen un nuevo inangible de naualeza agaia no ligado a la iea, cuyo compoamieno financieo puede se simila al de los bonos. Paiendo de la meodología PERT aplicada al iesgo inheene en la valoación de acivos de ena fija y en conceo a la inceidumbe de la PAC después del 203, ese méodo se aplica a la esimación del valo medio de los íulos en España. Palabas clave adicionales: inangible agaio, PAC, PERT, valo. Inoducion Since is oigins o he pesen-day, he Common Agiculual Policy (CAP) has had o change damaically o ovecome new challenges. A fis, CAP focused no only on fulfilling he goals se ou in Aicle 39 of he Teay of Rome (incease poduciviy, assume an equal sandad of living fo fames, and povide easonable pices fo commodiies), bu also on coecing he «changes» ha migh have emeged. Afe concenaing on pices cus, CAP also ganed subsidies o fames. Finally, he cuen CAP efom (2003) (Diecive 782/2003/CEE; OJ, 2003) modified he efom of 992, ha is, by subsiuing he measues of suppo pices fo diec aids and by inoducing he single paymen sysem (SPS) in 2005/2006. Fuhemoe, his efom suppoed he Rual Developmen Policy (RDP), which led o inceasing inees owads aids fo ual developmen in Spain duing he peiod As Table shows, ual developmen subsidies inceased by ove 400% fom 992 o Alhough mos Euopean counies (Belgium, Denmak, Gemany, Ieland, Ausia, Pougal, Sweden, he Unied Kingdom and Ialy) adoped he SPS which * Coesponding auho: nguadala@omp.upv.es Received: ; Acceped: Abbeviaions used: AC (Spanish Auonomous Communiy), CAP (common agiculual policy), EAFRD (Euopean Agiculual Fund fo Rual Developmen), EC (Euopean Commission), EU (Euopean Union), FEGA (Fondo Español de Gaanía Agaia/Spanish Agaian Guaanee Fund), GAEC (good agiculual and envionmen condiion), INE (Insiuo Nacional de Esadísica/ Spanish Naional Saisics Insiue), MAPA (Miniseio de Agiculua, Pesca y Alimenación/Spanish Minisy of Agiculue, Fishey and Food), MARM (Miniseio de Medio Ambiene y Medio Rual y Maino/Spanish Minisy of he Envionmen and Rual and Maine Affais), PERT (pogam evaluaion and eview echnique), RDP (ual developmen policy), SFP (decoupled single fam paymens), SPS (single paymen sysem), UAA (uilized agiculual aea).

Spain has oped o paially apply he SPS fom he yea One pa of he aid is paid o fames as a

3 Valuaing single paymen enilemens: Spain 739 single paymen, while he second pa is paid as coupled paymens fo poducion, which ae only eceived if cops coninue o gow o livesock ae sill bed (see Table ). Decoupled aids have bough abou impoan changes in he developmen of he agaian seco. In paicula, he impac of land use and is poduciviy was modelled by Gohin (2006), Tane e al. (2007) and Goon e al. (2008), while he influence on land en was analysed by Robes e al. (2003). The objecive of his sysem was o assue ha fames incomes emained sable and ha he compeiiveness and he susainabiliy of Euopean agiculue impoved. Each couny membe has oped fo a diffeen sysem o esimae and make SPS paymens o fames (Kilian and Salhofe, 2008); hese paymens ae made by assigning enilemens o fames. One of he opions consiss in esimaing he SPS on he diec paymens ha he fame eceives duing a efeence peiod, which may involve diffeen levels of SPS fo each fame. This opion is known as a hisoical model. Fance, Pougal, and Spain, among ohe counies, have oped fo his model. Anohe opion fo esimaing he SPS involves calculaing he aveage of all he paymens a a naional o egional level (egional model). Finally, he hid opion is he mixed model which combines he pevious mehods fo esimaing paymens fo he diffeen egions in he same couny. As a esul of he applicaion of he SPS, a new agiculual asse has emeged: he enilemen. Fames can manage enilemens in vaious ways, fo insance: puchasing o selling hem wihou land, linking hem o land ade o ening he land. Howeve, i is compulsoy fo boh ownes and enans o jusify any kind of eligible land o eceive he enilemen paymen. Enilemens ae unquesionably a new inangible of an adminisaive naue ha is no linked o land (Caballe, 2008), which may be aded in a moe o less compeiive and anspaen make, and whose valuaion is a necessiy given is novel and special feaues. In addiion, enilemens may only be aded unde ceain condiions when hey have been, and can be, assigned only o hose fames who ae officially locaed in Spain; alhough hey may be aded beween egions, his pacice involves paying a penaly. Neveheless fames have o no only epo any ade enilemen bu also he eason why i has been aded o he Spanish Agaian Guaanee Fund (FEGA), hee is no obligaion o epo he make pice of he enilemens. Theefoe, such infomaion emains unknown. A he same ime, i is no a speculaive make given he consequences of he unceain fuue of enilemens afe 203. This may imply an adjusmen pocess wihin he agaian seco a consequence of no having o jusify lands o ade enilemens (Moeno- Péez and Oiz, 2008). Accoding o he FEGA (2007a), a oal of 505, (3.39%) of nomal enilemens, 24,535.0 (3.49%) of wihdawal enilemens and, (2.52%) of special enilemens, he aveage of which is 3.39%, wee ganed (aded o ened) in he peiod fom Febuay 2007 o 3 Sepembe Howeve, of he 505, nomal enilemens ganed, only 35, (26.7%) coesponded o aded enilemens as mos wee (44.6%) enals involving lands. The same occued wih he ansfes of wihdawal enilemens as only 5,033 (20.5%) wee owing o adabiliy easons of he enilemens, alhough hee was an even geae numbe coesponding o enals involving lands (2,495.85; 50.9%). On he ohe hand, 64.4% of wihdawal enilemens being ansfeed wee owing o adabiliy easons, while only 5% coesponded o enals. Afe analysing he saus of he enilemens make in Spain, we discove wo diffeen pas: he annual en eceived pe enilemen and he make value of he enilemen. As FEGA published ens each yea, ens ae ceain and known facs. Neveheless, hee ae nooious diffeences beween he aveage values of enilemens among he Spanish Auonomous Communiies (ACs). So he esuls and he facos ha deemine such diffeences ae ineesing o analyse. Seveal sudies have analysed he feaues ha deemine enal and land values (Gacia e al., 2004; Caballe and Guadalajaa, 2005), paiculaly he CAP subsidies eceived by fames (Lagekvis, 2005; Sala and Toes, 2007; Paon e al., 2008), and also some of hem have poposed a valuaion model in accodance wih hese feaues. Fuhemoe, accoding o Bead and Swinbank (200), hose bonds (enilemens), o which he owne confes he igh o eceive hese fuue compensaion paymens, will have a value which eflecs he make s Inangible asses may be of eihe an adminisaive naue, such as he milk poducion quoas, o a echnological naue, such as official ceificaes of oigin.

4 740 V. Caballe e al. / Span J Agic Res (2009) 7(4), pesen valuaion of hese fuue paymens. In his way, he make value of an enilemen is mos pobably he esimaion of he value of an enilemen ha could be aded in he fee make. By aking all his ino accoun, we see ha hee is a need o evaluae new enilemens and ha woks which cene on his appoach ae lacking. Consequenly, he main objecive of his pape is o popose a valuaion model o esimae he heoeical make value of SPS enilemens in Spain. The pupose of esimaing his value is wo-fold; on he one hand, i affods his make geae anspaency and efficiency while, on he ohe hand, i enables aids o be pu o bee use and, possibly, bee EU financing fo Spanish agiculue. Fuhemoe, i would help esolve he poblems elaed o valuing ual land in hose cases in which enilemens do no coespond o he land owne. This pape is sucued as follows: Secion focuses on he applicaion of he SPS and on he oigin of faming enilemens in Spain. Secion 2 analyses he diffeences in enilemen ens among he ACs. Besides, Secion 3 develops a valuaion model o esimae he heoeical value of he enilemens in he make, which akes his value as being simila o financial asses and secuiies. Secion 4 shows he eseach esuls of he aveage enilemen en in Spain in such a way ha he make value obained fom he enilemen is meely a mean naional value, which will vay in ems of he enilemen en in each case. Finally, Secion 5 pesens he main conclusions of he pape. Applicaion of he SPS in Spain In Spain, he oal diec paymens eceived by fames in 2006 and 2007 wee 4,777 and 5,02 million, especively. Of hese amouns, 68.7% (3,282,8) and 63.3% (3,294,005) wee eceived as decoupled aids, especively, hough he SPS each yea (see Table ). A single paymen is esimaed by he mean aid eceived duing he hee-yea peiod 2000/200/2002, wih some excepions: a) olive oil, (he 999/2000 campaign o he campaign); b) suga cane ( ); c) suga bee ( ); d) flax and hemp ( ). Given he consideable diffeences in he diec aids eceived by each seco and each AC duing he efeence peiod as a esul of he noable secoial and eioial diffeences in Spanish agiculual poducion, a hisoical model has been adoped. Likewise, his hisoical model has been adoped o mainain pa of he coupled aids in ode o face he isk of a moe o less genealised abandonmen of he faming aciviy owing o low poduciviy of dy cops and exensive cale aising. In ode o eceive enilemen paymens, fames have o jusify land. The suface aeas fo which SPS enilemens may apply ae hose fams whose lands ae used fo gowing cops and pemanen gazing, excep fo hose lands occupied by pemanen cops o foess o hose used fo aciviies ohe han agiculue. In Spain, appoximaely 75% of he uilized agiculual aea (UAA) may pu such enilemens o good use. The emaining 25% is made up of some 4.5 million hecaes which have no enilemens because hey ae eihe fallow o foage lands. Moeove, fames will eceive diec paymens if coss-compliance equiemens ae me. Fames mus comply wih he povisions of 8 Euopean Diecives (Diecive 782/2003/CEE; OJ, 2003) in he aeas of public, animal and plan healh, he envionmen and animal welfae, and in keeping land in good agiculual and envionmenal condiions (GAEC) (Annexe IV of his diecive). Moe ecenly, he Euopean Council Regulaion 46/2008 (OJ, 2008) has amended boh Euopean Council Regulaion 782/2003, which esablishes common ules fo diec suppo schemes unde he CAP as well as ceain suppo schemes fo fames, and Euopean Council Regulaion 698/2005 (OJ, 2005) on he suppo fo ual developmen hough he Euopean Agiculual Fund fo Rual Developmen (EAFRD). The amendmens cove mino cases of noncompliance wih he coss-compliance equiemens esablished in he CAP. In Spain, Royal Decee 2352/2004 (BOE, 2004) is he main legal ac ha addesses coss-compliance a a naional level. Seveal sudies ino he impac of Good Faming Pacices equiemens fo being eligible o paicipae in Euopean Rual Developmen Pogammes have been caied ou (e.g., Calaava e al., 2007). This sudy concluded ha he new envionmenal equiemens egading he SPS have a posiive effec on he adopion of consevaion pacices. Those enilemens deived fom he aids available fo suface aeas, and fom he bonuses and supplemenay aids obained by fams wih suface aeas, ae accouned as follows: enilemen = hecae o facion of hecae.

5 Valuaing single paymen enilemens: Spain 74 As egads supplemenay livesock bonuses and aids obained by fams wihou suface aeas, he numbe of enilemens is calculaed as so: numbe of enilemens = amoun of efeence/5,000. In his way, hee kinds of enilemens exis: nomal, special and wihdawal. The value of each enilemen will be calculaed by dividing he educed efeence amoun once he 3% desined o he Naional Reseve, and any ohe applicable discoun, have been deduced (applying Aicle 69 EC Regulaion 782/2003 and he financial discipline, fo example) by he numbe of enilemens. As Table 2 shows, he aveage value 2 of enilemens in Spain in he 2006 Campaign was , alhough hee wee many diffeences beween ypes of enilemens: The aveage value of compulsoy wihdawal of lands, o wihdawal enilemens (hough he diec aids eceived fo he compulsoy wihdawal of lands) was Afe he SPS was se up, he enilemen fo he compulsoy wihdawal of hebaceous cops (ceeals, oil seed cops and poein cops) was se a 0%.
