Statistical data form an important basis for political decisions. For this reason, the data should be of as good a quality and as accurate as possible. However, it must not deteriorate into a situation where businesses have to spend all their time on bureaucratic tasks – which will affect small and medium-sized enterprises in particular – nor must the statistics be abused so as to provide Eurostat or the Commission with additional powers. With regard to the example given of Greece’s falsified statistics, the Commission was aware of this for a long time before anything was done about it. As this matter is clearly to be used as an opportunity to extend powers, I have voted against it."@en1
