"This report stresses the need for thorough, reliable and high-quality statistics, since they constitute a knowledge base essential to decision making and to adopting economic, social and territorial policies suited to the reality at both national and regional level. It is widely accepted that accurate statistics are crucial to the formulation of appropriate policies, so their impartiality, objectivity and independence should be guaranteed. The report sets out the preconditions for preparing high-quality statistics, and details the failings and shortcomings in both their preparation and their oversight. It highlights the need for statistics to be standardised and to be published at opportune times, as well as the key role of Eurostat in compiling statistics and making them available. It also suggests making it easier and more intuitive for statistics to be made available, so that all members of the public can have simplified access to all data. I am voting for this report, since this is of benefit to the European public and to political decision makers, and contributes clearly to improving the decision-making process, particularly in the context of implementing the priorities of the Europe 2020 strategy."@en1
