"Thank you Mr President, I would just like to briefly give all the Members of Parliament some information. Statistics are a boring matter, but business people in your countries will now have to write many new reports, if you vote for this. I say this in advance, so that you can tell them what Parliament has done to make many of those statistical reports unnecessary. Business people will have to compile new statistical reports and most likely you and many of your voters will have questions. Therefore I simply wanted to let you know what Parliament has done in cooperation with the Council and the Commission in order to reduce that statistical load. We vote with you for the introduction of so-called European sample schemes, where only some companies present reports; small countries, whose GDP is less than 1% of the European Union's GDP, will not be required to supply some of the indices at all; moreover, we shall give governments the opportunity to use administrative resources, that is, social insurance registers, and then companies will not be required to write additional reports. It is also anticipated that the European Commission and Member States will have to prepare a method of evaluating whether it is worthwhile introducing new statistical reports and whether these would be of value to European business and the people of Europe. Thank you."@en1
