On 29 January, an expert from Hungary will visit the Azerbaijani capital Baku to assist the country’s Agriculture Ministry to develop the farm data monitoring system (FDMS). The mission programme involves a thorough scanning of the current set-up of the country’s FDMS, its data collection practice and data quality checks.
Additionally, the expert, together with officials from Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Agriculture, will review the methodology for sampling and weighting in the FDMS.
The mission is being organised by the European Commission’s Technical Assistance and Information Exchange Instrument (TAIEX) in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture of Azerbaijan.
TAIEX is a demand-driven tool that supports partner countries with the adaptation of national laws, regulations and quality standards to match those of EU Member States in the framework of Cooperation or Association Agreements signed with the EU. In the Eastern Neighbourhood, TAIEX works with Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine.
