"Reliable and accurate statistics are essential to allow effective economic and budgetary policy making at the Member State and Union levels. Users of statistics should be supplied with relevant, timely and accurate data that are collected and compiled by national bodies in accordance with the principles of impartiality, objectivity and professional independence. Statistics should be publicly accessible and easily understandable to both policy makers and citizens.
The ongoing modernisation of European statistical production methods represents an important public investment and requires continued commitment at EU and national level. The debt crisis in the euro area has highlighted the dangers of statistical inaccuracy and statistical fraud arising from weaknesses in both the quality of upstream public accounting data and in the quality of current statistical governance regulations.
I think it is necessary to strengthen the relationship between Eurostat and the supervisory authorities of the Member States, while reforms should also be carried out of national statistical offices in Member States with a view to achieving compliance as soon as possible with the new European legislation. Accurate data are the basis for obtaining detailed information on individual areas such as demographics, the economy and the environment, and therefore play a key role in the decision-making process in regional development, particularly in relation to the implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy."@en1
