Abstract: Abstract The aim of this paper is to review some of the critical issues which need further insight in survey methodology and practice. The focus is on the specific aspects of the survey process grouping the main issues in the following three areas: (i) mode of collection of data and construct of questionnaire; (ii) sampling strategy, design and estimation, to reply to the demands of the users and integration of data; (iii) data dissemination and standardisation. For every issue survey data producers have to fight and ask for development.
