Malta's participation in the Farm Accountancy Data Network is problematical, for not all accountancy data relating to holdings is collected systematically. Regarding the common organisations of markets, measures have been adopted for wine and fruit and vegetables, but these are insufficient. There are no programmes for rural development or forestry. Major efforts still have to be made in the veterinary and plant health fields. Malta will have to continue its efforts as regards control, the registration of fishing vessels, structural policy and product marketing.
Parliament is to adopt a law on the conservation and management of fishery resources.
