24th March - EHN was invited to the Implementation Dialogue on agricultural farm statistics
The Implementation Dialogue on agricultural farm statistics was initiated by Valdis Dombrovskis, Commissioner for Economy and Productivity, Implementation and Simplification. 
The dialogue was organized with farmers' representatives, agricultural businesses, national statistical authorities, and data users to seek opportunities for simplification and burden reduction in the collection of official European farm statistics.
It was the occasion for the Equine sector to ask to reintegrate equines into the list of livestock variables to be collected by Member States.
The EU Commission representatives confirmed the intention to collect equine statistics in 2030 and asked EHN to cooperate with their own study (to be finalized in September 2026).
