Examples: number of outbreaks, prevalence, incidence, …

Data collection for impact indicators:
Mostly through other tools/databases available at Commission level, such as:

 EUROSTAT indicators
 periodic reporting from EFSA

Examples: value of agri-food production,                                                             trade        flows,   evolution   of

provisions (most notably Country participation and                                          institutional negotiations
rule of law) and the general and specific budgetary
envelopes)

                                cannot start before the next EP is in place (August-September 2019)

 NB: Theoretically, the next EP could ignore the 12/02/2019 vote and decide to revote the text with
 different amendments, but this is unlikely (EP has almost never done this, this text is not so important on
 the political point on view, first vote is very positive: 520 in favor, 125 against, 33 abstentions)
