"This report highlights objectives and principles that we advocate regarding the processing and collection of economic statistics; specifically, that their production should be independent and separate from the political process, making the Member States responsible for the accuracy and authenticity of statistical data. The report also mentions the need to safeguard the independence of statistical services from the threat of potential political interference, at both national and European level. However, a number of the report’s other premises totally contradict these principles, particularly when it mentions that statistics should produce the data used for monitoring the results of economic governance and the ‘six-pack’, which are nothing more than policies associated with the leaders of the European institutions and the governments that back them. We would argue that statistical indicators should be at the service of a full knowledge of social and economic realities and that they should not be selected with a view to pursuing political objectives, particularly when these run completely counter to defending the development of social progress."@en1
