I agree with the approach pursued by the rapporteur who, having decided not to draw up a report for second reading, has accepted without amendment the Council’s common position on statistics on income and living conditions in the EU. The unanimity achieved in the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs also confirms the aptness of the Council’s common position. If the intention is to draw up an annual synthesis report containing Community statistics, the process of compiling data on the Member States must use harmonised definitions and methods. Unless this happens, we risk ending up with a study that uses differing variables, which change from Member State to Member State, and which consequently do not make comparison easy. The EU’s financial contribution to each Member State, for four years, for the costs entailed by their work, will ensure the first edition, in 2007, of a belated initiative, which stands out even more clearly due to the way in which the EU addresses one trivial issue after another."@en1
