Abstract
This Agriculture, forestry and fishery statistics pocketbook provides a
selection of topical data. Information is presented for the European
Union (EU) and its Member States, and is supplemented (when
available) with data for EFTA members and for the acceding and
candidate countries to the EU. This publication aims to cover some of
the most popular data within the domain of agriculture, forestry and
fisheries statistics. It may be viewed as an introduction to European
statistics in this area and provides a starting point for those who wish
to explore the wide range of data that is freely available on Eurostat’s
website at: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat.
Eurostat is the statistical office of the EU, situated in Luxembourg. Its
task is to provide the EU with statistics at a European level that enable
comparisons between countries and regions. Eurostat’s mission is ‘to
be the leading provider of high quality statistics on Europe’.
