- One small comments:
"Between 2010 and 2016 there was a reduction of one quarter (–25.7 %) in agricultural labour input in the EU-28. The overall contraction of 3.3 million AWUs between 2005 and 2016 was almost exclusively due to a reduction in non-salaried labour input (2.4 million AWUs or 74.3 % of the total labour force input in 2016). Although the volume of agricultural labour input from salaried persons in the EU-28 fell in successive years from 2005 onwards, there was a slight increase in the number of AWUs for salaried persons in 2012, 2015 and in 2016 (see Figure 3 and Table 5). => I think it should be "between 2005 and 2016" and I would not refer to table 5 here
The total agricultural labour input declined over the period 2010-2016 (– 8.3 %). Only 3 Member States recorded an increase: Slovenia and Lithuania (both + 3.8 %) and Malta (+ 2.0 %), while for the United Kingdom it remained relatively stable. A further 13 Member States registered declines in agricultural labour input, although less marked than for EU-28. The remaining 11 Member States showed steeper decreases, in particular Bulgaria (- 36.8 %), Estonia (- 20.0 %) and Portugal (-19.0 %). " => however here I would refer to table 5
