Proceeding of the International Conference BIOATLAS 2008 Transilvania University of Brasov, Romania  e-GOVERNMENT SERVICES FOR FARMERS    SZ. SZENAS, M. HERDON   Abstract: To simplify procedures in connection with applications for area payments the The Agricultural and Rural Development Agency (ARDA) (Mezőgazdasági és Vidékfejlesztési Hivatal; MVH) and the Central Agriculture Office (CAO) (Mezőgazdasági Szakigazgatási Hivatal; MgSzH) started to itnroduce electronic filling and submission of application forms in 2008.  Already in 2007 it was possible for clients (more than 200 ha area) receiving unified area payments (SAPS) (hereinafter referred to as selected farmers) to submit ) Single Area Payment Scheme (SAPS), Top-UP and in connection with those lands with infavourable conditions relating (KAT) and the Agro-environment Management Programs.  (AKG) through the electronic form submission system (hereinafter referred to as e-admission).  In 2008 every client has the possibility to create and submit his/her application for area payment electronically with a PC.  Keywords: Agro-environment Management Programs, Agricultural and Rural Development.   1.  Introduction Filling and submitting the applications electronically ensures that the data will be exact and the application technically flawless and this can be the basis for the payment of former financial support and avoidance of sanctions or subtractions due to technical faults.  In practice this means that after logging in through the Client Gate farmers can find their applications from former years and can actualize all their data (they can modify data for his parcels, parcel drawings etc.). After completing this they can submit the application form electronically. The program checks the technical appropriateness and completeness of the data simultaneously with data input so the clients do not need to worry about sanctions due to formalities.  3 steps of submitting an application electronically:   1) The client or the advisor/ local stakeholders identifies himself and downloads the 2008 application form for the parcel. 2) With the help of the internet-based form filling software they actualize the application data for 2008 (i.e. new crop type, adding a new parcel, creating a new parcel drawing, etc.) 3) Submitting the completed form through the Client Gate electronically.  4) The application process 5) If the client has registered in the Client Gate he can download the application for 2008 after logging in.  6) If the client is not registered, then he can call in a local stakeholder’s or a counselor’s aid. The client supplies his login name and password and then he can download the application for area payment for the year 2008. Client Gate registration For submission it is recommended to be registered in Client Gate. Registration can take place in any office of the personal documents, ID-card, personal address card and an e-mail address are needed.  Electronic application package Drawing in the agricultural parcels on unique blockmaps in connection with parcellasoros data is possible through the e-admission geographic information system with MePAR software. Before submission data can be saved and edited any time. After completing and closing the application its data can not be modified electronically.  The electronic formfiller application can be found at e-kerelem.mvh.gov.hu.  2.  Logging in the System  1) Logging in is possible through MVH Portal (http://e-kerelem.mvh.gov.hu) Click on the following icon: Proceeding of the International Conference BIOATLAS 2008 Transilvania University of Brasov, Romania    2) Press this button: ; Login to the Client Gate with your login name; Then press this button:  ; 3) From the list titled „Kérelem típusa” („Type of application”) choose ’2008 Területalapú kérelem’  („Area payment application 2008”), or ’2008 Területalapú kérelem módosítása’ („Modification of area payment application 2008”).  Main form handler function buttons:    Exit (Kilépés): Return to the previous interface.  Map view (Térkép nézet): by pressing this button the client can start MePAR and is able to draw in the parcel.  3.  Editing application header data    Editing land parcel’s data   Here the parcel data approved by the farmer in 2007 are present. As in the case of the header (main page) all data can be overwritten, modified, expanded or deleted. To make any row active just click on any of its cells with the left button.  Proceeding of the International Conference BIOATLAS 2008 Transilvania University of Brasov, Romania     The farmer has to check personalized data to see if they suit the actual parcel data of 2008. If any of them has changed the correct data must be written to the given cell of that data type. This way the data in the modified cells will be the basis for the area payment in 2008. 4.  Displaying errors and warning messages  The software basically checks the technical correspondence of data and the connections of the data cells in the filled form (i.e. does the given land block exist, how big area is qualified for payment, etc). As long as all errors are not eliminated there is no way to complete the form and send it through the Client Gate. At the bottom of the web page all errors are listed. By clicking on the code number detailed explanation is available.     5.   Drawing parcels with the drawing interface Values for given parcel’ data are also displayed on the drawing interface (and of course they correspond to the data given on the main page).    Proceeding of the International Conference BIOATLAS 2008 Transilvania University of Brasov, Romania  More explanation for the drawing interface:  Drawing parcels: the vectorpoints  of each parcel must be drawn with the double click of the mouse. Vector points already given can be moved around with drag-and-drop using the left mouse button.  If the farmer would like to add a new block  in 2008 (maybe because he bought or leased a new area) he can do so by searching on the MePAR interface. Save:  Saving geometry. Online saving to a server.  The program warns the user if the sketch drawn touches an area or block not qualified for area payment.  Checking: with this function the software warns to errors made during drawing the map.  Parcel drawing data import/export  Recently many parcels were measured exactly with GPS. These files can be loaded to the e-SAPS system. At the same time the map drawings created with the system can also be exported.  Last year’s map:  Shows the block’s image that was scanned during the previous year.  6.  Confirming and printing the application  o Confirmation: Only possible if the application has no errors. It is shown by the following text on top of the application: „ Document may be saved and submitted” (“Menthető beadható bizonylat”) and at the same time the „ Confirmation” (“Véglegesítés”) button becomes active.   o  o  o Methods of submitting the application:  Electronically through the Client Gate: in this case only the legal warrants must be signed and electronically sent to the Client Gate;  On paper: in this case all pages of the application must be signed and sent by post to the authorized office of the ARDA; o By pressing “Print” (“Nyomtatás”) we can create a *.pdf document containing the application, save or print the application; o Acknowledgement: After sending the confirmed application through the Client Gate to ARDA the sender receives two e-mails;  One of them is the time stamp (its function is the same as the time stamp containing the time and date of bringing the documents to the post office in the case of paper-based applications)   The other contains a reference number (also present in the e-mail sent by the ARDA about the reception) to identify the client with the application; ¶ 7.  Conclusion   Based on the experiences of the users we can say that the developers of the system have Proceeding of the International Conference BIOATLAS 2008 Transilvania University of Brasov, Romania  created a well-considered program which is easy to learn and accessible to anyone over the Internet. The limitation of the system is the capacity of the server providing the service (of course only if we assume that users fulfill the minimum requirements of the software).
