Kiev April 2014 Peter Vig Jensen Karsten Larsen from Statistics Denmark

2. The regulation - EU law on farm structure statistics
The regulation 1166/2008 was passed in 2008
It prescribes agricultural surveys: In 2010 as a total census. In 2013 as a sample survey. And again in 2016 as a sample survey.
The surveys have to be conducted in each member state, p.t. 28 countries.
Each member state prepares its own questionnaire.
But in the end all countries are obliged to collect the same information.
