The European Parliament adopted by 555 votes to 42, with 23 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on statistics on agricultural input and output and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1165/2008, (EC) No 543/2009, (EC) No 1185/2009 and Council Directive 96/16/EC.
The European Parliament's position adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure amends the Commission proposal as follows:
Subject
The Regulation establishes an integrated framework for aggregated European statistics on agricultural inputs and products, as well as on their intermediate use in agriculture, their collection and processing.
The amended text stressed that a transparent, comprehensive and reliable statistical knowledge base is necessary for the development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the Union's policies relating to agriculture, in particular the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), as well as the Union's policies on, inter alia environment, climate change adaptation and mitigation, land use, regions, public health, food safety, plant protection, sustainable use of pesticides, use of veterinary medicinal products and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
The Regulation stressed the importance of harmonised, high quality, coherent and comparable data to assess the situation and trends of agricultural inputs and products in the Union, in order to provide relevant and accurate data on the environmental and economic consequences of agriculture and on the pace of the transition to more sustainable agricultural practices.
Regular data requirements
Statistics on the inputs and outputs of agricultural activities will cover the following areas and themes:
(a) statistics on livestock production;
(b) statistics on crop production;
(c) statistics on agricultural prices;
(d) statistics on nutrients;
(e) statistics on plant protection products.
The detailed topics, their transmission frequencies and corresponding reference periods as well as their organic farming and regional dimensions are set out in the Annex.
Coverage requirements
For the topic of nutrients in agricultural fertilisers, the amended text specifies that the data should cover fertilisers and 95% of the total utilised agricultural area, excluding kitchen gardens, of each Member State, together with the corresponding production volumes.
For the detailed topic of use of plant protection products in agriculture , the data should cover at least 85% of the use in agricultural activity by professional users in each Member State. The data from each Member State shall relate to a list of crops including a part common to all Member States. This common part shall cover, together with permanent grassland, at least 75% of the total utilised agricultural area at Union level.
The coverage of agricultural use will be increased to 95% from the reference year following the date of entry into force of the Union legislation requiring professional users of plant protection products to submit their records on the use of these products to the national competent authorities in electronic format.
Ad hoc data requirements
The Commission may adopt delegated acts to supplement the Regulation by specifying the information to be provided on an ad hoc basis by Member States, where it is deemed necessary to collect new information to meet additional statistical needs.
Sources
In order to obtain statistics on agricultural inputs and outputs, Member States will use administrative data sources based on national law, other sources, methods or innovative approaches, such as digital tools and remote sensors.
Reference period
The information collected under the Regulation will cover a single reference period common to all Member States and will relate to the situation during a specific period. The reference period for each detailed topic is that indicated in the Annex. The first reporting periods will start in the calendar year 2025 .
Feasibility and pilot studies
Where new regular data requirements or the need for major improvements to the current regular data requirements are identified, the Commission (Eurostat) may launch feasibility studies to evaluate, where necessary: the availability and quality of appropriate new data sources; the development and implementation of new statistical techniques; the financial impact on and burden on respondents.
The Commission (Eurostat) will disseminate online and free of charge the data transmitted to it under the Regulation.
Subsidies
Member States and the EU will provide funding to support the implementation of the Regulation. A financial contribution from the Union is therefore foreseen in the form of grants from the Single Market Programme established by Regulation (EU) 2021/690 of the European Parliament and the Council.
Transitional regime for data on the detailed topic of use of plant protection products in agriculture
For the years 2025, 2026 and 2027, the following transitional rules will apply for the detailed topic of use of plant protection products in agriculture. In this regard, Parliament and the Council made a joint statement on the importance of establishing in all Member States a register kept by the national competent authorities on the use of plant protection products in agriculture.
The Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development adopted a report by Petros KOKKALIS (The Left, EL) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on statistics on agricultural input and output and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1165/2008, (EC) No 543/2009, (EC) No 1185/2009 and Council Directive 96/16/EC.
As a reminder, European statistics on agricultural inputs and outputs are currently collected, produced and disseminated on the basis of a number of legal acts. This structure does not provide proper consistency across the individual statistical domains, nor does it promote an integrated approach towards the development, production and dissemination of agricultural statistics designed to cover the economic, social and environmental facets of agriculture.
The proposed Regulation should replace those legal acts for the purposes of harmonisation and comparability of information, and to ensure consistency and coordination across European agricultural statistics, facilitate the integration and streamlining of the corresponding statistical processes, and enable a more holistic approach.
The committee responsible recommended that the European Parliament's position adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure should amend the proposal as follows:
Subject matter
Members proposed that the Regulation should seek to establish an integrated framework for aggregated European statistics related to the inputs and outputs of agricultural activities, as well as the intermediate use of such output within agriculture and its collection and industrial processing.
Collection of data
The data needed to compile statistics should be collected in a manner with the least costs and administrative burden on respondents, including farmers, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Member States. It is therefore necessary to maximise the use of existing data sources, increase synergies and efficiency between existing data sources and optimise the data collection methods used. Where possible owners of sources of the required data could be identified, it should be ensured that data can be used for statistics in full compliance with the private rights of the identifiable individuals and data ownership specified in implementing acts.
The report stressed that the collection of the detailed data sets should not impose significant additional costs resulting in a disproportionate and unjustified burden on agricultural holdings and on Member States.
In addition, an operational and transparent system for the regular collection of statistical data on pesticide use and other chemicals inputs relied on in agriculture should be established.
Publication of data
The data collected on the topics such as crop areas, statistics on nutrients, pesticides, veterinary medicinal products and antibiotics in animal feed, biocidal products, should be actively disseminated by the Commission (Eurostat) via internet, free of charge, at the following level of detail:
(i) per active substance; (ii) per plant protection, biocidal, veterinary medicinal and fertiliser product; (iii) per crop and animal species; (iv) per year.
Regular data requirements
Members proposed an amendment which would improve available statistics and market transparency on fertilizer prices .
Ad hoc data requirements
Given that Member States need sufficient time to allocate resources to begin a new ad hoc data collection, Members proposed that there should be a minimum of five years between each ad hoc data collection.
Review
The Commission should review this Regulation 30 months after the date of its entry into force. During the first review, the Commission should assess in particular whether and why there are data gaps and deficiencies in the data collected limiting the ability of public authorities to assess progress towards sustainable agriculture, including data relating to the use of plant protection, biocidal and veterinary medicinal products.
PURPOSE: to establish a framework for aggregated European statistics on the inputs and outputs of agricultural activities, as well as on the intermediate use of these products in agriculture, their collection and industrial processing.
PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.
ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.
BACKGROUND: the EU needs information on agriculture that is as accurate as possible and that enables it to develop policies that benefit all EU citizens and to allocate the substantial CAP budget in the most efficient way across multiple dimensions.
The proposal is part of the strategy for agricultural statistics for 2020 and beyond, a major programme to modernise European Union agricultural statistics undertaken by the European Commission in close cooperation with the EU Member States. In particular, the strategy aims to streamline and improve the European agricultural statistics system (EASS).
European statistics on agricultural inputs and outputs are currently collected, produced and disseminated on the basis of a number of legal acts. The proposed regulation should replace those legal acts for the purposes of harmonisation and comparability of information, and to ensure consistency and coordination across European agricultural statistics, facilitate the integration and streamlining of the corresponding statistical processes, and enable a more holistic approach.
The collection of statistical data, in particular on agricultural input and output, should aim, among other things, to inform the decision-making process with updated data to support the European Green Deal with the related ‘farm to fork’ and ‘biodiversity’ strategies and future CAP reforms.
IMPACT ASSESSMENT: the impact assessment concluded that the EASS should, as the preferred option, be covered by three regulations: two framework regulations concerning respectively Integrated Farm Statistics (IFS) and Statistics on Agricultural Input and Output (SAIO), as well as a revision of the Regulation on Economic Accounts for Agriculture (EAA).
CONTENT: the objective of the present proposal on statistics on agricultural input and output (SAIO) is to improve the quality, comparability and coherence of European agricultural statistics so that policymakers, businesses and the general public are able to take appropriate evidence-based decisions.
The proposed regulation requires Member States to provide statistics on four domains and twelve related themes. It covers agricultural production (crops and livestock), including organic farming, agricultural prices, nutrients and plant protection products.
To this end, the proposal:
- contains articles related on subject matter, definitions, statistical population and observation units, coverage, data transmission frequency, data sources and methods, reference periods, quality specifications, and potential financial contributions;
- provides the possibility of introducing specific ad hoc subjects related to agricultural input and output that supplement the data collected on a regular basis.
The detailed data sets will be specified in implementing acts (regulations).
BUDGETARY IMPACT: the financial impact of the proposal is of unlimited duration. The proposal does not include funding regular data collections, but it provides for Union co-funding of ad hoc data collections, the timing of which is not known.
The first ad hoc data collections should be expected at the earliest two years after the planned regulation enters into force. Once such ad-hoc data collections are required, the costs involved should be evaluated and further detailed along the drafting of the delegated and implementing acts and in any case should be covered by the appropriations allocated to the financial envelopes of relevant programmes included in the EU budget.

Amendment 100 #
(22) Where EU law requires professionals to keep records of inputs and outputs, these records shall be used for collection of data under this regulation. Mandatory data collection is recommended as the best option because it allows the development of accurate and reliable data on the placing on the market and use of inputs quickly and cost- efficiently. In order to ensure flexibility and to reduce the administrative burden on respondents, NSIs and other national authorities, Member States should be allowed to
Amendment 101 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 22 (22) In order to ensure flexibility and to reduce the administrative burden on respondents, NSIs and other national authorities, Member States should be allowed to use statistical surveys, administrative records and any other sources, methods or innovative approaches, such as digital tools and remote sensors, as well as including scientifically based and well documented methods such as imputation, estimation and modelling. The quality, and in particular the accuracy, timeliness and comparability of statistics based on these sources, should always be ensured.
Amendment 102 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 22 a (new) (22a) In order to reduce the administrative burden on farms, consideration should preferably be given to the use of available records rather than statistical surveys when it comes to deciding which data sets and variables to request.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 23 a (new) (23a) On 25 June 1998 the Community signed the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (hereinafter the Aarhus Convention). The EU approved the Aarhus Convention on 17 February 2005. Provisions of EU law shall be consistent with that Convention. The Aarhus Convention calls for public access to environmental information either following a request or by active dissemination by the authorities covered by the Convention.
Amendment 105 #
(23a) To ensure consistency with the Aarhus Convention, the present regulation specifies the level of details to which the data collected notably on the use and sales of plant protection and biocidal products must be disseminated proactively by Eurostat. Such publication also aims at minimising the number of access to information requests on the topics related to emissions into the environment and thus at limiting the administrative burden of Eurostat and national authorities confronted with such requests.
Amendment 106 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 23 b (new) (23b) Regulation (EC) No 1367/2006 and Directive 2003/4/EC on the application of the provisions of the Aarhus Convention, include provisions on the collection, public access and dissemination of environmental information. In particular, this Regulation and Directive provide that an overriding public interest in disclosure shall be deemed to exist where the information requested relates to emissions into the environment, even if disclosure would undermine the protection of commercial interests, including the public interest in maintaining statistical confidentiality.
Amendment 107 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 23 c (new) (23c) To ensure consistency with the Aarhus Convention, the present regulation specifies, regarding the data collected on chemicals input (fertilisers, plant protection products, biocidal products and veterinary medicinal products), the level of details to which the data collected must be published proactively by Eurostat. Such proactive dissemination will also prevent the administrative burden for Eurostat and national authorities of handling multiple access to document requests.

Statistics on the area, yield and production of arable crops, vegetables, various permanent crops and grasslands and commodity balances are also important. Increasingly, statistics on the sales and use of plant protection products and fertilisers are needed.
Amendment 73 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 a (new) (3a) In regard to the above, i.e. the sales and use of plant protection products, biocidal products, fertilisers, veterinary medicinal products for animals, etc. equivalence must be made for imported products. This is for the purpose of ensuring competitiveness of EU farmers. Should equal treatment vis-a-vis third countries be impossible, this entire measure must not be implemented
Amendment 74 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 a (new) (3a) It is important to obtain harmonised statistical data on input per unit of food produced.
Amendment 75 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 (7) European statistics on agricultural
Amendment 76 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 (9) A large part of the European agricultural area consists of grasslands. The production of those areas was not considered to be important in the past, so no production data have been included in crop statistics. As the impact of permanent grasslands and ruminants on the environment has become more important due to climate change, statistics on
Amendment 77 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 a (new) (9a) In order to reduce agriculture’s dependency on primary water extraction from aquifers, it is essential to find alternative water resources in spite of water scarcity: principally through frameworks which enable the safe reuse of certain wastewater streams. This approach needs integrated, close coordination with the sectors who are the pollution sources and the wastewater managers.
Amendment 78 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 b (new) (9b) For the purposes of statistics, assess the feasibility of maximising the use of already existing data collected under CAP obligations, without creating new obligations and administrative burden.
Amendment 79 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 12 (12) Data regarding the placing on the market and use of pesticides to be submitted pursuant to Directive 2009/128/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (21 ) and Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (22 )should be used in accordance with the relevant provisions of that Directive and of that Regulation for the purposes of the requirements of this Regulation. Statistics on the placing on the market and use of pesticides should be publicy available as detailed as possible, namely to the level of active substance and crop, to allow a meaningful assessment of trends regarding the use of pesticides and overall risks associated, as well as the upgrade of harmonised risk indicators. _________________ 21Directive 2009/128/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for Community action to achieve the sustainable use of pesticides (OJ L 309, 24.11.2009, p. 71). 22Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (OJ L 309, 24.11.2009, p. 1).
Amendment 80 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 (13) Comparable statistics from all Member States on agricultural input and output are important to determine the development of the CAP and to monitor CAP implementation through the national strategic plans in view of its contribution to the European Green Deal targets. Standard classifications and common definitions should therefore be used insofar as possible for variables.
Amendment 81 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 (13) Comparable statistics from all Member States on agricultural input and output are important to determine the development of the CAP. Standard classifications and common definitions and cohesive information should therefore be used insofar as possible for variables.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 a (new) (14a) The national plans of the Recovery and Resilience Facility include measures that should contribute[CJ1] to the digital transition or to addressing the challenges arising from it.
Amendment 86 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 15 (15) The datasets to be transmitted cover several statistical domains. In order to maintain a flexible approach that allows the statistics to be adapted when data requirements change, only the domains, topics and detailed topics should be specified in the basic regulation, with the detailed data sets specified in implementing acts. The collection of the detailed data sets should not impose significant additional costs which result in a disproportionate and unjustified burden on agricultural holdings and on Member States.
Amendment 87 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 16 (16) Organic production is becoming increasingly important as an indicator of sustainable agricultural production systems. Statistical data on organic production will be essential to monitor progress of the action plan for the development of the organic production in the EU. It is therefore necessary to ensure that available statistics on organic farming are consistent with other agricultural production statistics by integrating those in the datasets. Those organic production statistics should also be coherent with and use the administrative information produced under Regulation (EU) 2018/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council (23 ). _________________ 23Regulation (EU) 2018/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 (OJ L 150, 14.6.2018, p. 1).
Amendment 88 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 16 a (new) (16a) Statistics on the placing on the market and use of synthetic inputs must be detailed up to the level of the active substances and product for the data to allow a meaningful assessment of trends of the reliance on chemicals inputs in agriculture. It is indeed considered a priority to remove restrictive aggregation requirements for synthetic inputs to ensure publication of more useful statistics and the development of more meaningful harmonised risk indicators under Directive 2009/128/EC to assess the progress made towards the policy objectives.
Amendment 89 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 16 a (new) (16a) Statistics on the placing on the market and use of plant protection and biocidal products must be detailed up to the level of the active substances and product for the data to allow a meaningful assessment of trends regarding the reliance of pesticides and biocides in agriculture and the upgrade of harmonised risk indicators under Directive 2009/128/EC.
Amendment 90 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 16 a (new) (16a) To contribute to the EU goals on combating antimicrobial resistance in humans and animals, statistics on the sales of veterinary antimicrobial medicinal products for food-producing animals should be provided in accordance with the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2019/6 of the European Parliament and of the Council1a.
Amendment 91 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 18 (18) It should be possible to collect data on ad-hoc subjects related to agricultural input and output at a specific time in order to supplement the data collected on a regular basis with complementary data on subjects that require more information, emerging phenomena or innovations. However, in order to ensure transparency, legal certainty and to minimise administrative burden on respondents and Member States, the collection of ad-hoc data should be done as an exception, after a thorough feasibility study has been carried out on the need for producing new statistics and the stakeholders have been consulted. National authorities should have access to financial support from the Union to cover implementation costs related to the ad-hoc data collection.
Amendment 92 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 19 (19) In order to decrease the administrative burden on Member States, exemptions from certain regular transmissions of data should be allowed if Member States’ contributions to the EU total for these data are low and if the variables have a low prevalence in the concerned Member States.
Amendment 93 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 20 (20) In order to improve the efficiency of the statistical production processes of the ESS and to reduce the administrative burden on respondents, national statistical institutes (‘NSIs’) and other national authorities should have the right to access and use, promptly and free of charge, any administrative data that are gathered for public purposes, irrespective of whether they are held by public or private bodies.
Amendment 94 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 20 (20) In order to improve the efficiency of the statistical production processes of the ESS and to reduce the administrative burden on respondents, national statistical institutes (‘NSIs’) and other national authorities should have the right to access and use, promptly and free of charge, any administrative data that are gathered for public purposes, irrespective of whether they are held by public or private bodies. Those data are to be collected for a specific purpose and should not be further processed or made public in a way that is incompatible with that purpose. In addition, those data should only be accessed by authorised persons with the necessary qualifications. NSIs and other national authorities should also be able to integrate those administrative data with statistics, to the extent that such data are necessary for developing, producing and disseminating
Amendment 95 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 20 a (new) (20a) Any processing of personal data under this Regulation is subject to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (25a) and provisions adopted in accordance with that Regulation. Collected data should only be used for as long as is strictly necessary for the relevant analyses to be carried out. Data disclosure should take into account the private rights of the individuals and data ownership. _________________ 25aRegulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) (OJ L 119, 4.5.2016, p. 1).
Amendment 96 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 20 b (new) (20b) Increasingly, agricultural data is generated through digital farming practices, where the farmer remains the main data provider, responsible for the collection, processing and management of agricultural data. The Code of Conduct on Agricultural Data Sharing by Contractual Agreement serves as a good basis for improving transparency, responsibility and trust when farmers share machine-generated data.
Amendment 97 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 21 (21) Member States or responsible national authorities should endeavour to modernise data collection modes insofar as possible. The use of digital solutions
Amendment 98 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 21 (21) Member States or responsible national authorities should endeavour to modernise data collection modes insofar as possible. The use of digital solutions should be promoted. The methods for collection and the collection of the data shall aim to not impose extra cost or administrative burden on Members States or on farmers, especially for SME's.
Amendment 99 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 21 (21) Member States or responsible national authorities should endeavour to modernise data collection modes insofar as possible, by harnessing funding from technical assistance instruments. The use of digital solutions should be promoted.
