Stronger measures to ensure the quality and credibility of EU statistics have been set out in a proposal adopted by the Commission today. High-quality, reliable statistics are fundamental for evidence-based decision making. Demands for such data have further increased in light of the enhanced economic-policy coordination that has been agreed in the EU over the past year. Moreover, recent economic events have shown the importance of credible statistics to ensure the trust of the public and the financial markets in such decisions. In line with what was foreseen in the "Six Pack", the Commission has therefore proposed a revision of the EU Regulation on Statistics to further strengthen in law the independence, reliability and quality management of statistics coming from Member States and compiled at EU level. |
