send through https://data.europa.eu/en/feedback/form about OSM data described as Eurostat data (map at https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets?categories=agri&page=1&locale=en&minScoring=0 )

Plagiarism and illegal data use - this is an OpenStreetMap data, not Eurostat data

https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets?categories=agri&page=1&locale=en&minScoring=0 has map with a misleading attribution

It must be attributed to actual data source, OpenStreetMap project. See https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright

I recommend "OpenStreetMap (ODBL)" linking to https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright

body: As one of authors, I am very happy to see OpenStreetMap data being used

But https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets?categories=agri&page=1&locale=en&minScoring=0 and other pages on that site has a map with a misleading attribution

It must be attributed to actual data source, OpenStreetMap project. See https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright

I recommend "© OpenStreetMap (ODBL)" linking to https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright but there are also

In cases where Eurastat data is also shown, I recommend "© Eurostat - GISCO for overlay, © OpenStreetMap (ODBL) for backround map" or similar.
