Procedure used for recording slaughtering data

Data on slaughter are estimated annually by NISES.

Data on animal production in enterprises (legal units) are obtained by exhaustive survey.

Data on domestic slaughter are obtained from the official village or townhall Register are used.

In the future there will be carried out surveys in slaughterhouses and for domestic slaughter will be estimated on the bas of sample surveys.

Foreign trade data for live animals

Procedure used for recording foreign trade data

Statistics on foreign trade is carried out though the processing of customs statements (dedutatous) on imports/ exports sent by General Department of Customs (GDC). The data prepared by GDC by commodity level and by countries (Combined Nomenclature is used) are sent monthly to the NISES, where they are processed in different structures for the final dissemination.

There are excluded commodities with values less than 100 EURO.

The data are available 45 days from the reference month expiration.

Statistics on foreign trade from Romania is carried out accordingly to the EU recommendation related to trade of member states with other countries (EC Regulation 1172/95)

Production forecasts (gross domestic production)

In present, there are no forecasts on meat production.

The calculation of gross domestic production (GDP) is made annually using the formula:

GDP = slaughters + live animals export - live animals import

Poultry statistics

Information available in the field of poultry statistics

There are no monthly or quarterly available data on slaughters of chickens, broilers, turkeys, hens, ducks, and geese.
