Question about privileges

I`m connected as someuser and I can do a select from v$mystat

Now I create a stored procedure (while logged on as someuser) which does the same thing,
and I get this error:
PLS-00201: identifier 'SYS.V_$MYSTAT' must be declared

Isn`t V$MYSTAT supposed to be readable by any user? Or do I have to manually grant select right from user SYS to table V$_MYSTAT? This is not quite clear to me.

Thanks!
