The committee opinion amends the proposed regulation on European labour market statistics on businesses, adding requirements for data on collective bargaining coverage, social enterprises, and gender pension gap, and stressing data protection and reduced administrative burden.

Position. The Committee on Employment and Social Affairs proposes amendments to the proposed regulation, focusing on data quality, coverage of social enterprises and collective bargaining, and data protection safeguards.

Key points

Labour market statistics should be accurate, timely, reliable and comparable, supporting EU policies including the European Pillar of Social Rights and its action plan.
Statistics should include information on collective bargaining coverage across Member States, in addition to hourly labour costs and wage levels.
Monitoring of inflation and deflation risks should also consider profits, not only labour costs.
Data on job vacancies and labour cost index should be extended and improved in timeliness.
Gender pay gap data should support monitoring of Sustainable Development Goals 5 and 8 and Directive (EU) 2023/970.
Data collected should contribute to understanding the gender pension gap, as women face higher poverty risk in later life.
National statistical authorities should use administrative and innovative sources to limit burden on enterprises, especially social enterprises, SMEs and micro-enterprises.
Processing of personal data must comply with EU data protection law, with data aggregated to prevent identification.
Web scraping techniques must comply with data accuracy principle and be limited to non-personal data.
Definitions of 'employee' and 'employer' are broadened to include informal employment relationships.
Member States must collect and provide separate data on social enterprises for all topics in the Annex.

Who is affected

National statistical authorities: must consider alternative data sources and ensure data protection.
Enterprises, especially social enterprises, SMEs and micro-enterprises: should face reduced administrative burden.
Social enterprises: defined and required to be reported separately in statistics.

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment(6 a) The gender pension gap is the relative difference between average gross pensions earned by women and men.
