"The importance of agriculture for the economic, social and cultural development of Europe is widely acknowledged. Fruit and wine production is a key area of agricultural activity in the EU.
In Council Regulation (EEC) No 357/79 of 5 February 1979 on statistical surveys of areas under vine, and in Directive 2001/109/EC of 19 December 2001 concerning the statistical surveys to be carried out by the Member States in order to determine the production potential of plantations of certain species of fruit trees, provision is made for the creation of an information system on the statistically most important permanent crops at European level.
The statistical system currently available for permanent crops in the EU would not be possible without this legislation. Despite this, however, there is a need to update the data. There is still room for improvement in the comparability and completeness of the framework, by putting greater effort into the harmonisation of variables and concepts, and providing greater freedom to Member States to select the methods and sources they use, in order to collect the basic data necessary for compiling these European statistics.
Over the years, Member States, interested parties and Commission units have requested changes to the legal basis for statistics on permanent crops, and I also take the view that it is appropriate to update, simplify and optimise the existing legal framework for statistics on permanent crops and to replace the two existing acts with one act."@en1
