Seminar on National System of Food and Agricultural Statistics
Bucharest, Romania, 19-21 May 2004

BACKGROUND

To support global efforts to improve statistics in the context of the market economy, the FAO Statistics Division, in close collaboration with the Institutul National de Statistica (INS), Romania, organized the "Seminar on National System of Food and Agricultural Statistics" which will be held from 19 to 21 May 2004 in the INS premises in Bucharest, Romania.

PURPOSE OF THE WORKSHOP

The seminar was designed to identify and to discuss the problems faced by countries in modernizing their agricultural statistics systems and adapting them to the new requirements that have arisen in the transition from a planned to a market economy and/or the accession to the European Union, be it decided upon or still being negotiated. A special focus was put on data quality assessment and the reconciliation of data from different sources (agricultural census and current statistics).

PARTICIPANTS

High-level officials from the Central Statistical Office and/or the Ministry of Agriculture, depending on where the responsibility for Food and Agricultural Statistics is located, from the following countries were invited: Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Moldova, Poland and Turkey, Georgia and Kyrgyzstan. Representatives of EUROSTAT and Italy, as well as resource persons from the FAO Statistics Division in Rome also participated.

The list of Participants is available.

DOCUMENTS

The programme of the meeting is available. The final report will be soon posted on this page.
