"In my opinion, Eurostat should consider a reform of the method of producing European statistics and a gradual transition from a corrective approach to a preventive approach to the quality management of European statistics, in general, and public finance statistics, in particular. The first step is to introduce rules of a binding nature regarding the production, and verification of the accuracy, of European statistics. I would like to emphasise that having independent statistical bodies is essential to maintaining the credibility of statistical data. It is a fact that providing accurate statistics can, in many cases, involve collecting and collating data from numerous sources. In this regard, I would therefore like to add that shortening timetables for publication of statistics may, in some cases, reduce the reliability or accuracy of statistics or increase the cost of data collection. In considering best practice in this area, the balance between timeliness, reliability and cost of preparation should be carefully considered. Eurostat should also look at ways to make its publications, particularly those online, more user-friendly to the average citizen and non-professionals, especially with regard to the use of graphs. Eurostat’s website should allow easier access to complete long-term data series and should include intuitive comparative graphs in order to give more added value to citizens."@en1
