Recital 3
(3) High quality harmonised statistical data are important to assess the state and trends of agricultural input and output in the Union, the functioning of markets, and food security and to assess the sustainability as well as the environmental, economic and social impacts and performance of Union and national policies. Those data include, but are not limited to, livestock and meat statistics, the production and use of eggs, and the production and use of milk and milk products. Statistics on the area, yield and production of arable crops, vegetables, various permanent crops and grasslands and commodity balances are also important. Increasingly, statistics on the sales and use of plant protection products and fertilisers are needed.

(12) Data regarding the placing on the market and use of pesticides to be submitted pursuant to Directive 2009/128/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (21 ) and Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (22 )should be used in accordance with the relevant provisions of that Directive and of that Regulation for the purposes of the requirements of this Regulation. Statistics on the placing on the market and use of pesticides should be publicy available as detailed as possible, namely to the level of active substance and crop, to allow a meaningful assessment of trends regarding the use of pesticides and overall risks associated, as well as the upgrade of harmonised risk indicators. _________________ 21Directive 2009/128/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for Community action to achieve the sustainable use of pesticides (OJ L 309, 24.11.2009, p. 71). 22Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (OJ L 309, 24.11.2009, p. 1).

Recital 16
(16) Organic production is becoming increasingly important as an indicator of sustainable agricultural production systems. Statistical data on organic production will be essential to monitor progress of the action plan for the development of the organic production in the EU. It is therefore necessary to ensure that available statistics on organic farming are consistent with other agricultural production statistics by integrating those in the datasets. Those organic production statistics should also be coherent with and use the administrative information produced under Regulation (EU) 2018/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council (23 ). _________________ 23Regulation (EU) 2018/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 (OJ L 150, 14.6.2018, p. 1).
