Goal and impact
The purpose of this algorithm is to speed up the processing of grant applications, using automated decision-making and calculation. The number of applications (several thousand) is too many to do by hand. Also, using the algorithm gives less chance of errors. As a result, there is a quick decision on the grant application and quick payment of the grant.
Considerations
Automatic calculations are faster than by hand. They are also safer as they give less chance of errors. These calculations help more applicants and ensure positive results in applications.
Human intervention
There is no human intervention. The applicant may file an objection. If the algorithm is found to have made a mistake, we adjust the computer programme. We then retest the programme.
Risk management
We check the design of algorithms in a test environment. When the algorithm is ready, it enters production. After that, quality staff check with a sample to see if it works properly.
Legal basis
The legal basis for this scheme are the 'Regeling Europese EZK- en LNV-subsidies 2021' and the 'Beleidsregel verlagen subsidie GLB'. These regulations elaborate national provisions of Article 76 of the European Regulation 2021/2115 that allows member states to financially support farmers in crop insurance premiums.

Elaboration on impact assessments
An impact test is not necessary because personal data does not play a role in this algorithm.
Operations
Data
The applicant provides the following data to be used in the algorithm:
Details of the application
- Receipt date of the application
Insurance policy details
- Policy number
- Insured area
- Amount of insurance premium
Details of plot
- Area of the plot
- Insurer insuring the parcel

Technical design
The algorithm determines whether a subsidy for bad weather insurance can be provided. First, the receipt date is checked, whether the application was submitted on time. It also checks the details on the Chamber of Commerce (CoC), whether the submitter is an active farmer.
If the basic conditions are met, the subsidy is calculated. This is done on the basis of the amount of the insurance premium, the area insured as per the policy and the plots of land declared by the applicant in the application.
