A European Concerted Action project in co-operation with the EU statistical office, EUROSTAT, and funded by the European Union aims there-fore at developing a framework for collection and processing reliable and comprehen-sive data on organic markets. The first phase of the project with the aim of analysing the current situation and developing proposals is accomplished. The results are a number of detailed and specific suggestions to improve the data situation on the national and international level.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Country reports</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc"> Surveys and statistics</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2005</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Conference paper, poster, etc. </mods:genre></mods:mods>
