(3) The regional economic accounts for agriculture (REAA) are a regional-level adaptation of the EAA. National figures alone cannot reveal the full and sometimes complex picture of what is happening at a more detailed level. Therefore, regional- level data help to increase the understanding of the diversity that exists between regions, complementing information for the Union, the euro area and individual Member States. The REAA therefore need to be integrated into Regulation (EC) No 138/2004 both in terms of methodology, transmission programme of data, and appropriate transmission deadlines.

(4 a) Expanding national statistics to the regional level is essential to get a full picture of the situation of the agricultural sector, especially in the context of the results-oriented performance framework of the new CAP reform, which will enter into force in 2023. By providing better data for assessing the sustainability of the agricultural sector for the environment, people, regions and economy, the European System of Agricultural Statistics will also contribute to the priorities of the Green Deal, and in particular to the Farm-to-Fork and Biodiversity strategies.

(5) Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 provides the legal framework for European statistics and requires Member States to comply with the statistical principles and quality criteria specified in the Regulation. Quality reports are essential for assessing, improving and communicating on the quality of European statistics. The European Statistical System Committee (ESSC) has endorsed the single integrated metadata structure as the ESS standard for quality reporting, thereby helping to satisfy, through uniform standards and harmonised methods, the statistical quality requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 223/2009, in particular those set out in Article 12 (3) thereof. This Regulation shall respect the general statistical principle set out in Regulation (EC) No 223/2009, which provides that the costs of producing statistics are to be proportional to the importance of the results and benefits sought, that resources are to be used optimally and that the response burden is to be minimised.
