(3) High quality harmonised, coherent and comparable statistical data are important to assess the state and trends of agricultural input and output in the Union, the functioning of markets, and food security and to assess the sustainability as well as the environmental, economic and social impacts of Union and national policies. Those data include, but are not limited to, livestock and meat statistics, the production and use of eggs, and the production and use of milk and milk products. Statistics on the area, yield and production of arable crops, vegetables, various permanent crops and grasslands and commodity balances and fodder are also important. Increasingly,Moreover, to assess the feasibility of water use for statistics oin agriculture, the sales and use of plant protection products and fertiliser, biocidal products, fertilisers, veterinary medical products for animals are needed.
