"Statistics constitute an essential technique that is the basis for the majority of scientific work and supported decision making. When we have better information available to us about a given subject, we are able to make more appropriate and assertive decisions. This report, by Mr Scicluna, analyses the document on quality management for European statistics. The Member States of the European Union need credible and thorough statistics if they are to be able to adopt correct and effective social, economic and budgetary policy. The crisis in the euro area has demonstrated the shortcomings of the existing statistics and we can, in some cases, talk about statistical fraud. It is therefore crucial that the Member States comply scrupulously with the recommendations and legal provisions in this regard with a view to good governance. I welcome the adoption of this report, for which I voted, since I believe that the measures therein, as well as modernising the data-collection system, introduce mechanisms and protective barriers, thereby preventing failures and making statistics independent of the political process. The success of the economic governance package, the Stability and Growth Pact and the Europe 2020 strategy require statistics of the highest quality."@en1
