So far, farmers have successfully uploaded 2023 data on the interface for 3.1 million hectares. It is an important fact that in the first year of the new support period, there are strict legal consequences associated with maintaining and electronically uploading the Farming Log in any form, as well as the accuracy of the content of the e-spraying log that is part of the electronic Farming Log (e-GN). An automatic rejection or reduction of support is not caused by filling out the diary incorrectly. Rejection or subsidy reduction can only be caused if the farmer does not fill in the diary at all, or if he has an obligation to use plant protection products and the use of incompatible products is documented in the Farming Diary. The affected support schemes are the Agro-ecological Program (hereinafter: AÖP), the Agricultural Environmental Management Support (hereinafter: AKG), the Maintenance of Ecological Farming (hereinafter: ÖKO) and the compensation payment for Natura 2000 grasslands (hereinafter: Natura grassland). The accuracy of the data content is particularly important because, due to EU regulations, the Hungarian State Treasury must carry out a 100% administrative cross-check for certain practices of the AÖP, as well as for the AKG, ÖKO and Natura lawn subsidies, where some kind of pesticide restriction is included in the conditions. for e-spray logs that are part of e-GN. In the case of the AÖP, the following practices are affected: designation of non-productive landscape elements and areas on arable land, prohibition of the use of substances dangerous to bees, tillage without rotation, use of biological agents.

With regard to AKG and ÖKO subsidies, it is also a basic requirement that the e-GN contains a nutrient management plan

Nébih’s IT developers are constantly working to eliminate the technical problems experienced by users in connection with the submission of the e-GN. A major IT system update package is currently being prepared, which is intended to eliminate the data loss phenomenon. It is expected to be activated on Wednesday next week (January 17). In view of this, the ministry decided to extend the period open for submitting the e-GN by two weeks – until February 15, 2024. In relation to the problems experienced with e-GN uploading, we would also like to draw attention to the fact that some of the uploading problems may arise from the fact that the farmer is not using a market software that has a live, live data connection to NÉBIH. We recommend checking with the service provider that they use software that has access to the live system. If you experience any malfunctions during operation, please report them to Nébih’s electronic contact information set up for this purpose (egn@nebih.gov.hu).
