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. the number of chicks placed by the hatcheries of this Member State increased by the net import of chicks.

In The Netherlands, data are collected by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency from a foundation that manages a number of databases and registers for the Dutch poultry sector. Statistics Netherlands is responsible for data processing and sending data to Eurostat. Outcomes are tables on the activity and structure of hatcheries and trade of chicks. 
3.1.1. Model description

Not applicable.
3.2. Classification system

The list of items and their definition are from the (market) Regulation (EC) No 617/2008. Annex III, part I: list of production and marketing of eggs for hatching and farmyard poultry chicks. Annex III, part II: list of trade in farmyard poultry chicks. Annex IV: list of structure and utilisation of hatcheries.

‘eggs for hatching’ means poultry eggs falling within subheadings 0407 00 11 and 0407 00 19 of the Combined Nomenclature intended for the production of chicks, classified according to species, category and type and identified in accordance with this Regulation, produced in the Community or imported from third countries.

 ‘chicks’ means live farmyard poultry the weight of which does not exceed 185 grammes, either produced in the Community or imported from third countries and falling within subheadings 0105 11 and 0105 19 of the Combined Nomenclature, of the following categories:

 a) utility chicks: chicks of one of the following types:

(i) table type chicks: chicks intended to be fattened and slaughtered before reaching sexual maturity;

(ii) laying chicks: chicks intended to be raised with a view to the production of eggs for consumption;

(iii) dual-purpose chicks: chicks intended either for laying or for the table;

(b) parent stock chicks: chicks intended for the production of utility chicks;

(c) grandparent stock chicks: chicks intended for the production of parent stock chicks.

 

 ‘establishment’ means the establishment or part of an establishment for each of the following sectors of activity:

(a) pedigree breeding establishment: an establishment for the production of eggs for hatching intended for the production of grandparent stock, parent stock or utility chicks;

(b) breeding establishment: an establishment for the production of eggs for hatching intended for the production of utility chicks;

(c) hatchery: an establishment for incubating eggs, hatching and supplying chicks;

 

 ‘capacity’ means the maximum number of eggs for hatching which may be placed simultaneously in incubators excluding hatchers.
