APR - Sections 2.3.x - XML Errors with Unit of Measurements/codes

On the support portal, we published excel documents for the list of  ‘Annex IV List of standard units of measurement’  and for the  list of ‘XML category group’ https://sfc.ec.europa.eu/en/2021/support-ms/apr?qt_support_pages=2

Member States should use the ‘code’ and not the ‘description’ in their XML file.

Examples:

In sections 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 with aggregated values, the category has to be reported by code instead of description value:

  for example <category>Common unit of measurement</category>

  has to be: <category>COMMON_UNIT_OF_MEASUREMENT</category>

In sections 2.3.3 with other aggregated values, the group has to be reported by code instead of description value:

  for example, <group>Agricultural land: Conditionality+Eco-schemes+Environmental or climate-related commitments</group>

  has to be: <group>AGRI_CONDITIONALITY_ECO_SCHEME_ENV</group>
