3.1. Data description | |||
Data on manure storage facilities are gathered through the Farm Structure Surveys (FSS) conducted by Member States accordingly to the specific community legislation. The variables presented in this table are the following:
|
|||
3.2. Classification system | |||
Classification in DPSIR (Driving forces, Pressures, State, Impact, Responses): Driving forces, Farm management |
|||
3.3. Coverage - sector | |||
Agriculture |
|||
3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions | |||
Manure storage facilities having a strong influence on the release of nutrients into the environment, their relative use is an important indicator on farm management practices. This table provides information on the storage facilities of agricultural holdings for different types of manure: NB: Storage facilities that are not used during the 12-month reference period of the FSS are not recorded. |
|||
3.5. Statistical unit | |||
Agricultural holding (a single unit, both technically and economically, which has a single management and which produces agricultural products), which has:
|
|||
3.6. Statistical population | |||
The data on individual agricultural holdings are collected by all Member States who design the surveys so as to ensure the representativeness of the population with regards to geographic regions and farm types and sizes. Such microdata are sent to Eurostat who disseminates the aggregated results. |
|||
3.7. Reference area | |||
EU Member States, plus Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Montenegro and their regions down to NUTS 3 level where appropriate. |
|||
3.8. Coverage - Time | |||
FSS data:
In 2010 data were available as part of the Survey on Agricultural Production Methods (SAPM) accompanying the regular Farm Structure Survey. |
|||
3.9. Base period | |||
Not available. |
|
|||
All variables are measured in number of holdings having mentioned manure storage facilities. Variables are also expressed as percentages as follows:
|
|
|||
Data on manure storage facilities represent the situation at the time of the survey. |

|||
6.1. Institutional Mandate - legal acts and other agreements | |||
On agri-environmental indicators: On FSS: |
|||
6.2. Institutional Mandate - data sharing | |||

|
|||
7.1. Confidentiality - policy | |||
Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 on European statistics (recital 24 and Article 20(4)) of 11 March 2009 (OJ L 87, p. 164), stipulates the need to establish common principles and guidelines ensuring the confidentiality of data used for the production of European statistics and the access to those confidential data with due account for technical developments and the requirements of users in a democratic society. |
|||
7.2. Confidentiality - data treatment | |||
This table builds this indicator on manure storage facilities upon FSS data. No confidential data is involved at this late stage of data treatment. See data treatment confidentiality of Farm Structure Surveys for information on the initial stages of data collection, validation and first-hand dissemination. |

|||
12.2. Relevance - User Satisfaction | |||
Not available. |
|||
12.3. Completeness | |||
Manure storage is part of a set of 28 agri-environmental indicators targeting farm management practices, agricultural production systems, pressures and risks on the environment and the state of natural resources. |
|
|||
13.1. Accuracy - overall | |||
Good. |
|||
13.2. Sampling error | |||
See 'Sampling error' in the "Structure of agricultural holdings" reference metadata (please see 'Related Metadata' at the bottom of the page). |
|||
13.3. Non-sampling error | |||
Not available. |
|
|||
14.1. Timeliness | |||

|||
14.2. Punctuality | |||

|
|||

Good comparability over time. |
|||
15.3. Coherence - cross domain | |||
Not applicable: data on the distribution of manure storage facilities of agricultural holdings are not collected by other means, thus cross-domain coherence is not an issue here. |
|||
15.4. Coherence - internal | |||
Manure storage facilities have been checked against the other characteristics during the validation process. |
|
|||
Cost and burden on respondents apply mainly to previous stages of this dissemination process i.e. on the collection of data through the conduct of Farm Structure Surveys and the treatment of FSS data. |
