          Abstract
          
          In 1992 a reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) was
          introduced. The reform required a complete restructure of the aid
          system and, subsequently, a new spatial agricultural reporting system
          had to be invented and implemented in all the Member States. The
          reform is by far the most radical requirement imposed by the European
          Commission in terms of geographical reporting, and the different
          Member States have made substantial investments in their different
          Integrated Administrative Control Systems (IACS). 
          With the current legislation, new Member States joining the EU will
          have to create similar systems. Creating an IACS has been a
          substantial project for all the Member States and it is therefore
          essential for coming Member States to prepare the entry in the EU in
          order to use the co-financing opportunities in an optimal way and to
          be ready with the system within the timeframe given.
