3.1. Data description

Statistics on eggs for hatching and farmyard poultry chicks are collected under (market) Regulation (EC) No 617/2008. They are the earliest available information to foresee production of poultry meat and eggs, as the numbers of chicks of various utilities placed in the farms of each Member State, i.e.

In Denmark, basic data about activity of hatcheries comes from administative registers and the data about trade in framyard poulty comes from the National IntraStat and Extrastat.

3.5.3. Thresholds

Not applicable
3.5.3.1. Thresholds for hatchery statistics

All hatcheries, which are registered in the Danish Agriculture & Food Council. It is only very small one, which are not registred in the register.  The hatcheries have to pay tax to the Poultry Production Levy Fund and therefore they have to repport the number of eggs for hatching.
3.5.3.2. Thresholds for imported chicks

It follow the thresholds from the National IntraStat and Extrastat. The value of this threshold are changing. For instance in 2020 were it 5 million DKK on EU exports and DKK 6.7 million DKK on EU imports for the companies that were in the statistics.
3.5.3.3. Thresholds for exported chicks (if different)

It follow the thresholds from the National IntraStat and Extrastat. The value of this threshold are changing. For instance in 2020 were it 5 million DKK on EU exports and DKK 6.7 million DKK on EU imports for the companies that were in the statistics.
3.6. Statistical population

See details by data set under 3.6.1, 3.6.2 and 3.6.3.
3.6.1. Source of the list of statistical units (AH)

The number of satistical units (AH) are hatcheries, which pay a tax to the Poulty Production Levy Fund. All hatcheries have to pay to these Fund.
3.6.2. Source of the list of statistical units (TC)

Data are coming from the National trade statístics both IntraStat and Extrastat. The statistical population consists of the enterprises which have external trade in goods and which report to either Intrastat or Extrastat For trade with EU countries, Intrastat, the population is defined as enterprises which have trade of a value which exceed an exemption threshold.

For trade with non-EU countries, Extrastat, all traders are covered by the statistics. In trade with EU countries, Intrastat, a statistical threshold is applied, based on the value of annual imports and exports to other EU Member States. The threshold is set by Statistics Denmark in compliance with the requirements of coverage stated in the EU legislation on Intrastat, and the limits are determined annually. Enterprises whose annual EU trade is below these limits are exempted from reporting detailed data under the Intrastat system. The Intrastat thresholds are set at levels where the enterprises reporting to Intrastat amount to minimum 93 per cent of the total value of EU imports and minimum 97 per cent of EU exports.

The Intrastat report obligation of the individual enterprises is based on their Intrastat reporting in previous year or on the amount of EU trade stated at their VAT statements. At the VAT statements the enterprises have to state the value of purchases of goods from other EU countries (box A) and the value of sales of goods to other EU countries (box B). In trade with non-EU countries, Extrastat, there is no actual statistical population, as all transactions in principle are collected through the customs declarations submitted to the Danish Customs Authorities.
3.6.3. Source of the list of statistical units (SH)

Data are coming from the organization Danish Agriculture & Food Council who administrated the hatcheries registers (the Poultry Production Levy Fund).
