5. Availability of statistics (files)
Three legal basis for the Member States
WP on Animal Production Statistics compliance

6. WP on Animal Production Statistics compliance
Punctuality
Combination of factors
Design of the national process
Adapted to the time table for data transmission
National priority and resources
Impact of staff issues on the result
Medium term effort
Feedback from Eurostat (reference exercise + reporting  18 months)
+ reactivity on the national system
A legal issue nevertheless
Infringement procedure for 8-day delay would not be cost-effective
Repeated non-compliance is considered
Action plan and progress measurement
EU punctuality
Eurostat process to be included
EU punctuality = MAX (28 punctuality)

7. WP on Animal Production Statistics compliance
Punctuality
Comparison
CZ, LT, LU and SK delivered all files in time
Average delay summarises worrying cases
CY, BE and SK improved by more than 5 days
BG, DK, MT, NL, SI and UK more than 10-day later
Regulation (EC) No 617/2008 more concerned
Impact of structure of dairies
Early monthly milk statistics
EE, ES, LU, HU, NL, PL, RO and SK met the deadlines
ES delivers at days
ES and PT committed for progressive improvement
PT, BG and DE don’t meet
Contrasts

8. Availability of statistics (cells)
Completeness
Delivered cells / expected cells
For a given cell
Availability of EU-28 totals  availability of 28 national cells
Except confidentiality issues
28 Member States at 97%  EU-28 between 16% and 97%
Data user feedback
A complex issue
Clarity of methodology
Maturity of the assessment method
Clarity of procedure for particular cases
Actual implementation in the individual questionnaires
Actual implementation in the process
Actual priority for the Member State
Improvable
Completeness for a reference period may be improved with revisions
WP on Animal Production Statistics compliance

9. Availability of statistics (cells)
Results on completeness
Corrected assessment of Table B
LU and NL provided only full Tables
100% appear in the Table
Impact of agreement on trade of chicks
Direct for those having agreed
Indirect with efforts to provide complete tables
Still systematic missing data
Livestock categories
Milk annual results
Reminder
Either significant and surveyed/collected
Or non significant and zero
