This short document has been written in response to a specific request for the EISfOM project seminar to be held on 26 and 27 April 2004. The main goal of the paper is to analyse the possibilities of using the existing Household Budget Surveys (HBS) data as a source of information for the study of the consumption of organic products and its evolution over time. The Working Group (WG) on HBS was created by a decision of the DGINS conference held between 29 November and 1 December 1989. The aim was tocompile the existing information in the Member States (MS) on household budgets in order to make all this information available at European level as well as to improve harmonisation of surveys in terms of concepts used, classification of variables, datacollection and data processing methods.
