summary
The European Parliament adopted by 613 votes to 22, with 30 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European statistical programme 2013-2017. Parliament adopted its position at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure. The amendments adopted in plenary are the result of a compromise reached between the European Parliament and the Council and are as follows: Value-added of the programme: according to the amended text, statistical information must be friendly and accessible, based on uniform standards and common quality assessment criteria, in particular "relevance", "accuracy", "timeliness", "accessibility", "consistency" and comparability. Specific objectives of the programme: bearing in mind the available resources both at national and Union level as well as the response burden, the following specific objectives shall be pursued: Objective 1: provide statistical information, in a timely manner, to support the development, monitoring and evaluation of the policies of the Union properly reflecting priorities, while keeping a balance between economic, social and environmental fields and serving the needs of the wide range of users of European statistics, including other decision-makers, researchers, businesses and European citizens in general, in a cost-effective manner without unnecessary duplication of effort ; A new Objective 4 is introduced: ensure that delivery of such statistics is kept consistent throughout the whole duration of the programme, provided that this does not interfere with the priority-setting mechanisms of the ESS. The objectives of the programme shall be achieved through close and coordinated cooperation in the ESS. The programme shall: · include the development of appropriate instruments resulting in enhanced quality, a greater flexibility of the ESS and the increased ability to satisfy users' needs in a timely manner; · pioneer the development of reliable indicators able to meet the challenges of the 21st century, namely measuring environmental sustainability, quality of life and social cohesion, and record economic activity in the tertiary sector and the social economy. Independenceand transparency: European statistics shall be produced in a professionally independent and transparent manner. The national statistical institutes and the Union statistical authority (Commission (Eurostat)) shall ensure that, through their professional independence, European statistics comply with the Code of Practice. They shall: aim to reinforce an institutional and organisational environment which promotes the coordination, effectiveness and credibility of national statistical authorities and the Commission (Eurostat) producing and disseminating European statistics; place emphasis on the needs of users; serve the needs of Union institutional users and seek to develop statistics which serve a wide range of users of European statistics, including other decision makers, researchers, businesses and European citizens in general; and cooperate with statistical bodies at international level in order to promote the use of international concepts, classifications, methods and other standards, in particular, with a view to ensuring more coherence and better comparability at global level. In line with Members wishes, each Member State shall endeavour to ensure that its statistical production processes are set up in a standardised manner and are enhanced, to the extent possible, by audit mechanisms. In the interest of transparency, the Commission (Eurostat) shall: where appropriate, disclose publicly its assessment on the quality of national contributions to European statistics as part of the quality reporting and compliance monitoring exercise. consider how to make its publications, particularly those which are accessible via its website, more user-friendly to nonprofessionals, and shall allow easy access to complete data series and include intuitive comparative graphs in order to give more added value to citizens. Statistical priority-setting: the programme shall ensure statistical initiatives underpinning the development, implementation and monitoring of current Union policies and shall provide statistical support for important requirements resulting from new Union policy initiatives. Prioritisation shall contribute to the reduction of costs and burdens for new statistical requirements by reducing statistical requirements in existing domains of European statistics and shall be pursued in close cooperation with the Member States. Financing: the Union financial envelope for the implementation of the programme for 2013 is set at EUR 57.3 million, covered by the programming period 2007 to 2013. Not later than three months after the adoption of the multiannual financial framework for the years 2014-2020 (MFF 2014 to 2020), the Commission is invited to submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a legislative proposal introducing the financial allocation for the period 2014 to 2017. Administrative and technical assistance: an amendment stipulates that the programmes financial allocation may also cover technical assistance and expertise provided to Member States which are unable to produce certain European statistics or statistics of the required quality due to specific circumstances. Evaluation and review: the Commission shall, after consulting the ESSC, submit an intermediate progress report on the implementation of the programme to the European Parliament and to the Council by 30 June 2015. No later than 31 December 2016, the Commission may, on the basis of the intermediate progress report referred to in paragraph 1, and after consulting the ESSC, submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a proposal for the extension of the programme for the period from 2018 to 2020, while complying with the MFF 2014 to 2020.

summary
The Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs adopted the report by Edward SCICLUNA (S&D, MT) on the proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European statistical programme 2013-2017. The committee recommended that the European Parliaments position at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure should be to amend the Commission proposal as follows: Value-added of the programme: in Members opinion, statistical information must be friendly and accessible, based on uniform standards and common quality assessment criteria, in particular "relevance", "accuracy", "timeliness", "accessibility" and "coherence". It is based on the idea of a reasonable burden-sharing between the EU budget and the Member States' budgets. Specific objectives of the programme: Objective 1: this relates to providing quality statistical information as close to real-time as practicable to support the development, monitoring and evaluation of the policies of the European Union properly reflecting priorities and needs of end users in a cost-effective manner without unnecessary duplication of effort; in particular regarding social and environmental statistics, which are not yet on an equal footing with economic indicators; as well as the production and provision of more reliable statistics on public debt, including solid data on contingent liabilities; Objective 2: this involves implementing new methods of production of European statistics aiming at efficiency gains and quality improvements, such as gender disaggregated data starting from the collection stage, and ensuring comparability; Objective 4: this new objective seeks to ensure that delivery of statistics is kept consistent throughout the whole duration of the programme, provided that this does not interfere with the priority-setting mechanisms of the European Statistical System; Objective 5: the programme should pioneer the development of reliable indicators able to meet the challenges of the 21st century, namely measuring environmental sustainability, quality of life and social cohesion. These should be promoted as a complement to classical economic indicators. Economic activity in the tertiary sector and the social economy should be recorded distinctly. Independence: since national statistical institutes are part of the European Statistical System, each Member State shall ensure the independence and integrity of its statistical authority. Interference by Member States' governments with the independence of national statistical institutes shall be effectively deterred through appropriate measures. In the interests of transparency, the Commission (Eurostat) shall disclose publicly its opinion on the quality of national statistics, highlighting and making public any recurrent under-performance of national statistical institutes in as timely a manner as possible. Transparency: Members call for the following: that each Member State shall ensure that its statistical production is established in a standardised manner and is enhanced by internal and external audit mechanisms; that the Commission (Eurostat) shall consider how to make its publications, particularly those via its website, more user-friendly to non-professionals and shall allow easy access to complete long-term data series. Role of Eurostat (funding): an amendment stipulates that the Commission shall ensure an appropriate level of technical support for those national statistical institutes which are unable to produce statistics of the required quality due to temporary unavoidable circumstances. The financial allocation for the Programme may also cover expenses pertaining to any assistance and expertise given to Member States to help them meet research constraints and major methodological obstacles. Evaluation and review: no later than 31 December 2016, the Commission may, if appropriate, after consulting the European Statistical System Committee, submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a proposal for the extension of the programme for 2018 to 2020, while respecting the Regulation laying down the multiannual financial framework 2014 to 2020.

summary
PURPOSE: to establish a European statistical programme 2013-2017. PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council. BACKGROUND: the current Community Statistical Programme, adopted by a European Parliament and Council Decision No 1578/2007/EC and covering the period from 2008 to 2012, is the seventh of its kind. In recent years the European Statistical System has been faced with a number of challenges. (1) the need for European statistics has been constantly increasing, and this trend is unlikely to change in future. (2) the nature of statistics has changed evidence-based decision making requires statistics that meet high quality criteria linked to the specific purposes they are serving, and there is an increasing need for complex multidimensional statistics supporting composite policy areas. (3) due to the appearance of new actors on the information market, including those providing information in nearly real time, the priority for the ESS in future is high quality and, in the case of short-term statistics, timeliness in particular. (4) budget constraints at both national and European level as well as the need to further reduce the burden on enterprises and citizens make the situation even more challenging. The Commission Communication on the production method of EU statistics: a vision for the next decade and the ESS strategy for its implementation15 address all these challenges by aiming to reengineer the ways of working in the ESS in order to make it more efficient and flexible. The implementation of this Communication constitutes the core of the proposed European statistical programme. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: prior to the preparation of this proposal, the users of European statistics, i.e. the Directorates-General of the Commission, the European Central Bank and the European Statistical Advisory Committee, were consulted. In the framework of the impact assessment, after thorough consideration and analysis of the different scenarios, the number of options has been reduced to three: Option 1: "zero option" with no European Statistical Programme: the risks related to this option are high because in this case no legal framework for the production of European statistics would exist, so that their quality and the efficiency of statistical production would not be ensured. In these cases statistics would be produced in an uncoordinated way by different producers. Option 2: ESP 2013-17 will be a repetition of the CSP 2008-2012: the risks involved in this option are linked to the fact that statistics provided would correspond to partially outdated policy priorities which are produced according to the traditional method, i.e. without taking advantage of the new method of production of European statistics aiming at efficiency gains and quality improvements. The costs of inadequate statistics would be considerable. Option 3: a new five-year European Statistical Programme is established: the risks linked to this option are considered to be relatively low as in this case European statistics would be produced under the established legal framework, i.e. the quality of statistics and the efficiency of the production method would be ensured as European statistics would be developed, collected and disseminated in a coordinated way. LEGAL BASIS: Article 338(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). CONTENT: the proposal establishes the European statistical programme for the period from 2013 to 2017. The programme provides the framework for the development, production and dissemination of European statistics, the main fields and the objectives of the actions envisaged for the programming period. The main purpose of European statistics is to underpin the development, monitoring and evaluation of European policies with reliable, objective, comparable and coherent factual information. The current proposal is consistent with the Unions priorities as statistics developed, produced and disseminated under this programme will contribute to the implementation of the EUs priority policies, such as the Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth and other policies addressed in the Commissions strategic priorities for 2010-2014 (i.e. strengthened and integrated economic governance, climate change, growth and social cohesion, peoples Europe and globalisation). BUDGETARY IMPLICATION: total amount to be borne by the budget of the EU is 299.4 million (current prices) for the duration of the programme from 2013 to 2017, of which 57.3 million is covered by the programming period 2007 to 2013 and 242.1 million by the programming period 2014 to 2017.
