6.1. Institutional Mandate - legal acts and other agreements | |||
In the elaboration of organic farming statistics, 2 administrations belonging to the Ministry of agriculture are involved: SER and ASTA SER is part of the national statistical system and responsible for agricultural statistics in general. ASTA is managing the organic farm register and makes available data on organic operators and processors to SER.
Law of the SER (only available in French): https://legilux.public.lu/eli/etat/leg/loi/1980/02/25/n2/jo Grand-ducal regulation on the public statistics committee (only available in French): https://legilux.public.lu/eli/etat/leg/rgd/2013/03/12/n2/jo |
|||
6.2. Institutional Mandate - data sharing | |||
Belonging to the same Ministry, the exchange of data between SER and ASTA can be done without special arrangement. |
|
|||
7.1. Confidentiality - policy | |||
According to article 16 of STATEC's law (https://legilux.public.lu/eli/etat/leg/loi/2011/07/10/n5/jo), the dissemination of confidential data is forbidden and subject to criminal penalty. The definition of confidential data is in line with the Regulation (EC) 223/2009 on European Statistics. As a member of the Luxemburgish Statistical System, the SER applies this article in all respects. In addition, all employees of the SER are public servants engaging them for confidentiality in every aspect. |
|||
7.2. Confidentiality - data treatment | |||
data concerning less than 3 units are supposed to be confidential. In case confidentiality cannot be assured by just hiding the concerned item, the second lowest item is flagged as confidential too. |

|||
12.2. Relevance - User Satisfaction | |||
user satisfaction is not measured |
|||
12.3. Completeness | |||
to be assessed by Eurostat |
|||
12.3.1. Data completeness - rate | |||
to be assessed by Eurostat |
|
|||
13.1. Accuracy - overall | |||
overall accuracy is assured because almost all information is derived from administrative sources, registers or administrative data. |
|||
13.2. Sampling error | |||
not applicable |
|||
13.2.1. Sampling error - indicators | |||
not applicable |
|||
13.3. Non-sampling error | |||
Initially there is over-coverage in the organic farming register, but it can easily be corrected by applying IFS thresholds. |
|||
13.3.1. Coverage error | |||
Some kind of over-coverage exists in the organic farming register although it is no survey. It contains farms that are not covered by IFS because the thresholds fixed by the IFS regulation are not met. The concerned farms are not taken into account for the organic farming statistics in order to assure coherence. |
|||
13.3.1.1. Over-coverage - rate | |||
after correction there is no over-coverage in the organic farming register, so it is 0% |
|||
13.3.1.2. Common units - proportion | |||
not applicable |
|||
13.3.2. Measurement error | |||
not applicable |
|||
13.3.3. Non response error | |||
non response not existing |
|||
13.3.3.1. Unit non-response - rate | |||
0% |
|||
13.3.3.2. Item non-response - rate | |||
0% |
|||
13.3.4. Processing error | |||
For datasets 1A and 1B, units are only classified according to their main activity, even if they are active in different sectors. |
|||
13.3.5. Model assumption error | |||
Not applicable. |
|
|||
14.1. Timeliness | |||
See concepts below. |
|||
14.1.1. Time lag - first result | |||
6 months (end of June N+1) |
|||
14.1.2. Time lag - final result | |||
6 months (end of June N+1) |
|||
14.2. Punctuality | |||
See concepts below. |
|||
14.2.1. Punctuality - delivery and publication | |||
data is delivered on time |
|
|||
15.1. Comparability - geographical | |||
As there are no regional statistics, comparability between geographical areas is assured. |
|||
15.1.1. Asymmetry for mirror flow statistics - coefficient | |||
Not applicable. |
|||
15.2. Comparability - over time | |||
there is no major break in the time series since 2012. |
|||
15.2.1. Length of comparable time series | |||
all data is comparable since 2012. |
|||
15.3. Coherence - cross domain | |||
organic statistics are comparable with
|
|||
15.3.1. Coherence - sub annual and annual statistics | |||
Not applicable. |
|||
15.3.2. Coherence - National Accounts | |||
Not applicable. |
|||
15.4. Coherence - internal | |||
Problems with coherence occur in Dataset 2 for aggregates like C0000 and H0000 when area and production figures are not available on the same detail level. For example in area for H0000 fruits are included, but in production they are not. This is due to the fact that only area is collected, but validation rules state that the total of H0000 has be the sum of its sub-items. This results in the fact that area and production for the same aggregate are not comparable. |
|
|||
Cost associated with the collection and production is not assessed. Burden on respondants is not significant because all of the data is taken from existing registers, administrative sources or other data collections. There is no independent data source for organic statistics. |
|
|||
17.1. Data revision - policy | |||
no data revision policy |
|||
17.2. Data revision - practice | |||
no planned revisions, in general data is final at the moment of production. unplanned revisions may occure if errors are detected or better information becomes available. |
|||
17.2.1. Data revision - average size | |||
Not applicable. |
|
|||
18.1. Source data | |||
|
|||

|
|||
18.4. Data validation | |||
Plausibility checks (horizontal and vertical) Data format checks Completeness checks |
|||
18.5. Data compilation | |||
Dataset 2: Production is obtained by multiplying the area by the yield. Adjustments to the yield are made by expert estimation if necessary. Dataset 4B: the different items represent the sum of all the dairies active in the production of the concerned item. For all the other datasets, no data compilation is necessary. |
|||
