REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
AND THE COUNCIL

on the experience obtained from the 1997 basic survey on areas planted with certain
species of fruit trees

(Council Directive 76/625/EEC)

I.

INTRODUCTION

The 1997 basic survey was carried out under the general framework laid down by
Council Directive 76/625/EEC of 20 July 19761,
last amended by Directive
1999/87/EEC of the European Parliament and the Council of 23 November 19992,
with the aim of informing the Commission on the production potential of plantations
of certain species of fruit trees in the European Union (apple, pear, peach, apricot,
orange, lemon and small-fruited citrus); it was also able to provide medium-term
forecasts on production and market supply.

In accordance with the latest amendment of Directive 76/625/EEC, the collection and
transmission to the Commission of annual data on the grubbing-up and new
plantations of fruit trees are optional and are not stated in this report. The same
applies to the annual reports that the Commission must present to the Council, as this
information is not essential for determining the medium-term potential and trend of
Community production.

II. THE SURVEY METHODS USED

In order to ensure statistical reliability and the comparability of data from the
Community surveys, harmonised methodological rules have to be applied to them for
all the Member States concerned.

In the case in question, these rules essentially concern the dates for carrying out the
surveys and how to apply the definition of the survey characteristics. The second
point did not raise any particular problems for the Member States, and the situation
set out in the table in Annex 1 can be considered satisfactory in overall terms, but the
following two aspects should however be noted:

II.1)

Date of carrying out surveys

Most Member States started carrying out their survey from spring onwards, as
specified in point 1 of article 1 of Directive 76/625/EEC (see Annex 1). It should
however be noted that the delay in the case of Spain came from the fact that the
surveys on citrus fruit were carried out in autumn or in winter, in view of their
ripening period.

II.2)

Scope of the surveys

An analysis of the situation presented in Annex 1 reveals a lack of harmonisation,
from the point of view of both "the minimum threshold of holdings to be surveyed"
and "the area of orchard considered"; this lack of harmonisation exists at both
vertical level (intra-survey), owing to different criteria from country to country, and
at horizontal level (inter-survey), owing to the change in criteria in some countries
from one survey to another.

More specifically concerning "the minimum threshold of holdings to be surveyed",
there is a range of diverse situations from country to country, ranging from "no
threshold: all holdings" to "minimum threshold ‡
30 ares", some countries having
changed criterion from one survey to another (as in the case of France, Ireland,
Denmark and the United Kingdom).

the "net area" (Belgium, Germany, Italy,

According to Directive 76/625/EEC, Article 2 paragraph 1C, as regards "the area of
orchard considered", the area to be transmitted to the Commission (Eurostat) must be
"net". However, four types of case can be noted from country to country: those
which always take into account
the
Netherlands, Luxembourg and Portugal); those which regularly use the "gross area"
(Greece, Spain, Finland and Sweden); those which changed the reference level from
one survey to another, moving from "net area" to "gross area" (France, United
Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark) and, lastly, Austria, in 1997 surveyed gross and net
areas separately. In this regard, in 1998, at the meeting of the Working Party on crop
statistics, having noted the diverse situations across the Member States,
the
Commission proposed that
in Directive
76/625/EEC, regarding holdings to be surveyed, should be 15 ares and that the area
to be transmitted should be "net" or "gross", accompanied by a correction coefficient
(solely for "gross" area).

the minimum threshold provided for

III. RESULTS

III.1) Communication of the results

Directive 76/625/EEC lays down the deadline for transmission to the Commission of
the results of the basic surveys as 1 April of the year following the surveys in
question. The deadline for making available these data is an essential factor in their
"usefulness". Unfortunately, this has not been adhered to by all Member States (see
table 2 in Annex 2), thus calling into question the benefit of the surveys, which is to
make available recent information to users.

III.2)

Processing of the results

Once the tabular data had been received from the Member States, the Commission
carried out a validation of them, involving a series of intra- and inter-tabular checks.
A certain number of corrections thus had to be made to the original data to remove
all the discrepancies and so that they could be accepted by the Commission (the table
in Annex 2 summarises this operation).

BRIEF PRESENTATION OF THE RESULTS

A summary analysis of the results of the 1997 surveys is presented in the publication
"The European Orchard in 1997". This report comments on the most important
results and looks principally at the trend observed between 1992 and 1997.

IV.1)

The European orchard in 1997

In 1997, the total area of the European Orchard had the following breakdown:

Orchard considered:
– The seven species in Italy, Greece, France and Portugal
– Apple trees in the 15 EU countries
– Pear trees in the EU, except in Ireland and Finland
– Apple, pear, peach and apricot trees in Austria

It can be seen that the contribution of the three new Member States (Austria, Finland
and Sweden) is somewhat modest in relation to the situation existing before their
accession. In fact, the area relating to these three countries is less than 1% of that of
the EU-15 total.

The main comparisons presented in Annex 3 are based on the EUR 12 aggregate.

Table C in Annex 3 shows that the European Orchard declined by approximately
55 000 ha between 1992 and 1997. This decline was notable for apple, peach and
orange trees. On the other hand, there was an increase for lemon and small-fruited
citrus trees. A country-by-country analysis shows that, with the exception of
Belgium, Spain and Luxembourg, areas under fruit trees shrank in all Community
countries.

IV.2)

Trend in varieties

An analysis of
the proportion of each variety within each species reveals
considerable developments linked to changes in consumer preferences. At European
level, the phenomenon is significant for apple, pear and lemon trees (Annex 4).

More details for each country are given in the publication "The European Orchard in
1997".

IV.3) Regional specialisation

The variables are surveyed at regional level. Nevertheless, the breakdown of the
territory of the Member States into "regional units" shows large differences in the
size of the various subdivisions: for example, "la Rioja" (total area: 5034 km2) is
found alongside South-East France (total area: 111 326 km2). Regional specialisation
was therefore studied using the following indicator:

Total area under fruit trees
Total utilised agricultural area (UAA)

This indicator was calculated for each region, each species and the European regions
as a whole. In the calculation of the EU total, of course, only the regions in which the
phenomenon was significant were taken into account: for instance, as regards France
and citrus fruits, only Corsica was included.

Each regional indicator was divided by the European average for the species in
question. The results, in which EU = 100, are set out in tables 1 to 7 in Annex 5.

V. CONCLUSION

This Community survey was able to record several significant factors with regard to
market monitoring and the economic importance of fruit production in the various
regions. There are, however, still certain problems concerning in particular the
survey methodology. It does in fact seem rather misleading to use the same statistical
techniques in a country such as Spain (469 832 ha over 7 species) as well as in
Finland (533 ha for a single species). Alternative solutions are currently being
studied and discussed by a working party in order to improve the next survey in
2002.

Member States are asked to make an additional effort to shorten the deadlines shown
in Annex 2.
