lpv:translated text	"This own-initiative report is intended to complement the ‘six-pack’ and stresses the importance of the quality of statistics supplied by the Member States. In fact, not knowing the true figures, or at least not being absolutely sure about collection methods for certain macro- or micro-economic statistical variables from one Member State to another – so as to enable reliable comparisons – is a reality that, unfortunately, exists within the EU, as recent events have amply demonstrated. Objectively, this situation must be brought to an end. Reliable and accurate statistics are clearly needed in order for the Member States and the EU to formulate effective economic and budgetary policy, as is clearly stated in the report. It is also clear that these statistical bodies need to be independent and to posses greater powers, not least as regards investigation; that internal and external auditing mechanisms will have to be improved; and that Eurostat should help any Member State that so requires. I therefore welcome this own-initiative report and commend the rapporteur. Obviously, I voted in favour."@en1
