". – Mr President, the Commission can accept all compromise amendments tabled and thus can support the voting recommendations of the rapporteur.
The amendments as tabled in the compromise package should increase the quality of statistics. The main reason is that Member States have more time to establish their methodologies for obtaining reliable data. Data collected on complicated issues such as agricultural waste and waste recycling will benefit particularly from this.
Allow me to say a word on the waste data requirement for agriculture. The Commission has also been very well aware of the fact that an equilibrium had to be found between the important data requirement and the minimisation of the burden on respondents. I would like to stress the following fact. In order to reduce the administrative burden on small enterprises, enterprises with fewer than 10 employees will be excluded from surveys, unless they contribute significantly to the generation of waste. This derogation for small enterprises is applicable for the whole regulation. Moreover, I would like to recall that the regulation provides for a transitional period of up to three years and that this transitional period is closely linked to the pilot studies, which aim at finding the most cost-effective methods for obtaining data.
The Commission welcomes the proposed frequency of data provision, which is to be every second year. The Commission takes note that Member States will provide yearly updates for some aggregated data sets. These aggregated data refer, for example, to some of the structural indicators requested for the annual spring report of the Commission, which was agreed at the Göteborg European Council of June 2001."@en1
