"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 approval.
The proposal of simplification by reducing the administrative burden on respondents through the introduction of thresholds at farm and territorial level is also important and should, to begin with, entail smaller samples.
However, it is not clear that these statistics will respond in all the ways necessary to the concerns of small and medium-sized farmers, as they will be technical support for decision making in the areas of production and the European market. In countries that have weaker economies and are more dependent on agri-foodstuffs, like Portugal, the path followed in recent decades has been the enfeeblement of the agricultural sector, especially family farming, through the successive neoliberal reforms of the common agricultural policy.
Owing to all these concerns, we voted for the improvements proposed by the majority in the European Parliament, but we did not vote for the final legislative proposal."@en1
