I tilfælde hvor landbrugeren pensioneres eller dør og har besluttet at overdrage sin bedrift eller en del af den til et familiemedlem eller en arving, der vil videreføre landbrugsaktiviteten på denne bedrift, bør det, for at arvingen kan videreføre landbrugsaktiviteten, sikres, at overdragelsen af hele eller dele af bedriften inden for samme familie kan finde uhindret sted, især hvis den overdragne jord var bortforpagtet til tredjemand i referenceperioden.
In cases where a farmer retires or dies and provides for transferring his holding or part of it to a member of the family or inheritant who intends to continue the agricultural activity on this holding, it is appropriate to ensure that the transfer of the holding or part of it within a family can easily take place in particular, in the case where the transferred land was leased to a third person during the reference period without prejudging the possibility for the inheritant to continue the agricultural activity.
