Recital 13

(13)Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products ¹⁰ provides for an obligation to transmit relevant statistical information as defined within the context of the Community Statistical Programme to the Commission. Recognising that there is a need for the systematic production of Community statistics on organic production and farming, it is anticipated that the Commission will take appropriate action, including the submission of a legislative proposal, to adequately address this issue.
