This decision is addressed to the Member States.
ANNEX Second phase of the 2004 technical action plan for improving agricultural statistics (TAPAS 2004 — Phase 2) The measures covered by the second phase of the 2004 technical action plan for improving agricultural statistics (TAPAS) aim to develop or improve statistics in the following areas: (a) the physical aspects of European agriculture; (b) statistics on the structure of the farms. The Commission will make a financial contribution to projects developed as part of these measures which will not exceed the amounts shown in tables A and B for each Member State. The measures proposed by the Member States concern: 1. The physical aspects of European agriculture This measure is a continuation of work undertaken in previous years. The aim is to improve the statistical data on areas, productions and uses of crops, in particular fruit and vegetables, livestock, and productions and uses of the animal products, particularly milk production. 2. Statistics on the structure of the farms Statistics on the structure of the farms are of great importance for the monitoring of the potential of agricultural production. In 2003, therefore before joining the European Union, the 10 adherent countries have carried out a survey on the structure of the agricultural holdings, but they were not obliged to transmit the individual data to Eurostat. The second phase of the TAPAS 2004 annual action plan will enable them to prepare this transmission and to consolidate these statistics. It will also allow methodological work and the implementation of Community typology of the agricultural farms.
