"The body responsible for determining the exact classification of the items to be included when certifying death and informing the statistical authorities of causes of death is the World Health Organisation, with which we work very closely, as I mentioned in my initial reply.
Eurostat – the statistical agency which is my responsibility as Commissioner – has the greatest possible interest in the information communicated to it on causes of death being as accurate as possible, but what it cannot do is change the current headings. The study I referred to before states that the headings can be improved since some of them lead to confusion. This is not, however, the responsibility of Eurostat, it is the responsibility of the World Health Organisation. What is the responsibility of Eurostat – and we are doing this – is to provide training for people required to carry out certifications and, to this end, Eurostat has prepared a training package consisting essentially of three elements: a basic certification for European Union-level certification, a website which serves as an on-line training tool for people required to carry out certifications and printed information which is also available on the Internet in the form of a
leaflet which provides people required to carry out certifications with details of the requirements and methods for collecting the most accurate information possible, so that that information – for the purposes you have indicated and which we all agree with – can be used as efficiently as possible.
We are therefore working on it, we are continuing with this training effort, with the cooperation of the World Health Organisation. What we cannot do is assume the responsibility for changing these headings which may be creating a degree of confusion."@en1
