"The objective of this report is to update the legal framework for European statistics on permanent crops ‘in line with current user and market requirements’. Certain aspects of this report are better than in the European Commission’s initial proposal, not least with the removal of the Commission’s ability to change the list of permanent crops using delegated acts, without Parliament’s prior approval. The proposal of simplification by reducing the administrative burden on respondents is important and should, to begin with, ‘entail smaller samples’. We would also register our concern that these changes should not mean an additional burden on the competent national authorities.
However, it is not clear to us that the changes being proposed to statistics will respond in all the ways necessary to the specific difficulties for small farmers and smallholders created by the current data-collection system.
Naturally, that is more important for countries like Portugal where, despite the increased concentration of ownership that has taken place over recent years, encouraged by the common agricultural policy, small and medium-sized holdings still predominate, accounting for around four fifths of all farms.
In view of the doubts and concerns expressed, we voted for the improvements proposed by Parliament, but we did not vote for the final legislative proposal."@en1
