"It is common knowledge that you have to rely on statistics in order to understand whether the various sectors of our society are doing well or badly. The reason for this is that looking at numbers is the only way to work out which are the critical issues to be resolved and which are the ones we may face in future. I agree with the requests put forward by Mr Scicluna on the need for independent, high-quality, precise and exact statistics which can also be accessed easily by the public. Since I am personally concerned with social policies and especially issues affecting children, I could not fail to note the huge gaps concerning some of the vulnerable sections of our society. I have, on several occasions, raised the need to develop a methodology that is capable of providing quantitative and qualitative indicators, as well as comparative standards, that refer specifically to children who have disappeared, are unaccompanied, are victims of physical and psychological violence, or who are disabled. We also need to improve the comparability, objectivity and reliability of European statistics on minors across a series of indicators."@en1
