ONLINE IDENTIFICATION OF
AGRICULTURAL PARCELS
• It is an instrument put at the Romanian
farmers’ disposal by APIA through which the
applicants for direct payments from EU funds
can identify and digitize the parcels they use
in a GIS environment.
• Simultaneously the farmers fill in the area
declaration, in compliance with the size of the
parcels measured through digitization.
• Necessary Requirement – Internet Connexion.
It is enabled from:
– Farms headquarters (large farms, farms with
internet connection).
– Mayor’s offices.
– APIA Local/county offices.
• Advantages:
 The paper maps are no longer necessary.
 The area digitized by farmers is very accurately measured.
 The error risk, therefore the penalization risk, is more reduced.
 The applicant can access the application from anywhere in the
world, provided that he has an internet connexion.
The results are available at any moment.
 In the following claim year the farmer makes only the corrections
corresponding to the modifications occurred.
 The data consistency is verified by the system (total areas,
overlaps, etc).
