"This report focuses on a number of correct objectives and principles regarding the processing and collection of economic statistics, such as independence and autonomy, making the Member States responsible for the accuracy and authenticity of statistical data. However, the rapporteur does not avoid getting caught up in his own contradictions. In particular, when asserting the need to safeguard the independence of statistical services from the threat of potential political interference, at both national and European level, he ends up arguing that statistics should produce the data used for monitoring the results of economic governance and the ‘six-pack’, which are nothing more than grave political impositions and attacks on Member State sovereignty in areas key to determining their peoples’ collective futures.
For our part, we believe that statistical indicators should provide as much knowledge and information as possible concerning social and economic realities. Moreover, they should not be selected with a view to pursuing political objectives, particularly when these run completely counter to the defence of development, well-being and social progress."@en1
