| (6) In 2017, the European Statistical System Committee (ESSC) endorsed the Budapest Memorandum, which stated the need for annual statistics on the size and on certain social, economic and demographic characteristics of the population and improved statistics on migration. For the observance of the principles of equality and non-discrimination of its citizens in all activities and the individual citizens’ rights as enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union23 and Articles 10 and 19 TFEU, the Union needs reliable and comparable statistics. Regulation (EU) 2019/1700 provides a framework for data collections from samples that allow to collect data on equality and non-discrimination in so far as this is feasible on samples and to analyse some aspects of equality and discrimination by producing socio-economic indicators and information on experience of discrimination. In addition, the Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) and the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) carry out specific studies and dedicated surveys that can further extend the availability of equality statistics at EU level. Future cooperation and coordination between Member States, Eurostat and these agencies should be enhanced to meet growing user demands for reliable and comprehensive data on equality and diversity in the Union. | (6) In 2017, the European Statistical System Committee (ESSC) endorsed the Budapest Memorandum, which stated the need for annual statistics on the size and on certain social, economic and demographic characteristics of the population and improved statistics on migration.

| (7) To achieve the targets of the European Green Deal, the development and evaluation of effective policies require enhanced statistics relating to the energy use and efficiency of housing, detailed geographical data on the distribution of the population as well as deeper studies of the relationship between population and housing. With the COVID-19 pandemic the need for reliable, high frequency and timely statistics on deaths in the Union was manifested. While data needs were met with a voluntary data collection from Member States to the Commission (Eurostat), the Union needs an adequate mechanism for mandatory collection of such data within the European Statistical System (ESS) with the necessary frequency, timeliness and detail. | (7) To achieve the targets of the European Green Deal, the development and evaluation of effective policies require enhanced statistics relating to the energy use and efficiency of housing, detailed geographical data on the distribution of the population as well as deeper studies of the relationship between population and housing. Furthermore, as the green transition is profoundly changing the European industry and economy, the changes in the labour market will be immense, thus the need for new evidence-based policies will be required to address the pressing challenges related to environmental and social aspects. Namely, better identifying and anticipating skills needs by timely disaggregated data collection is essential to adequately address the new ‘green jobs’ and prepare the workforce, especially workers with less training opportunities and urgent needs for up- and reskilling, throughout the transition. With the COVID-19 pandemic the need for reliable, high frequency and timely statistics on deaths in the Union was manifested. While data needs were met with a voluntary data collection from Member States to the Commission (Eurostat), the Union needs an adequate mechanism for mandatory collection of such data within the European Statistical System (ESS) with the necessary frequency, timeliness and detail. |

| (7a) Attention is drawn to a bolder and more in-depth study in the context of population and housing that can also outline the cause-effect relationship and serve as the basis for the future development of various EU and sectoral policies; such a study looks, for example, at infrastructural and geographic inequalities, corresponding inequalities in participation in employment, opportunities for and inequalities in participation in education, opportunities for mobility and associated inequalities in transport infrastructure; furthermore, it is important that social catching up and the various integration programmes in this regard should accordingly be capable of responding to other changes in social policies as well. |

| (9a) A reduction of administrative burdens arising at European level is a central objective of Regulation (EC) No 223/2009. The Commission communication entitled ‘Long-term competitiveness of the EU: looking beyond 2030’ aims to rationalise and simplify reporting requirements by 25 % for each of the green, digital and economic thematic areas, and the forthcoming Commission proposal has the potential to reduce the administrative burden and to improve the competitiveness of all undertakings in the EU, including small and medium-sized enterprises. |

| (11) The evolving demographic situation and recent migration trends have created demands for timelier, more frequent, and more detailed European statistics on population, vital events and housing including details of topics or groups that have become politically and societally relevant during the past decade. In addition, the existing legal framework is not flexible enough to adapt to evolving policy needs and to enable the use of new sources at national and Union level. Furthermore, the structure of the existing legal framework in the form of three separate regulations, adopted at different times, has led to intrinsic inconsistencies of the statistics. Finally, as Regulation (EU) No 1260/2013 will cease to apply on 31 August 2028, a new legal basis is required for the demographic statistics collected under that Regulation. It is therefore necessary to replace the current legal framework by a new, more coherent and flexible one that should amend relevant parts of Regulation (EC) No 862/2007 and repeal Regulations (EC) No 763/2008 and (EU) No 1260/2013. | (11) The ongoing Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, climate change, digital transformation, evolving demographic situation and recent migration trends have created demands for timelier, more frequent, and more detailed European statistics on population, socio-economic developments, vital events and housing including details of topics or groups that have become politically and societally relevant during the past decade.

| (13a) The housing statistics and partial data on population surveys need to reflect consistently, in the light of the defined objectives, the effects of the various social mechanisms relating to housing that can identify the depth of the gaps between populations, their cause-effect relationships, such as the inequalities that principally affect minorities living in segregated settlements, people living in poverty and other marginalised citizens and those living in isolated villages, as well as other elements which reveal geological or infrastructural inequalities and inequalities in access to education and employment, and within them the impact of inequalities relating to housing conditions. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (13b) Targeted resources allocated on the basis of the results of statistical surveys about data use to the various policy portfolios should be directed to investments intended to compensate for geographical disadvantages, which pursue the goals of green energy and other infrastructure projects, such as those intended to develop digital upgrading, which enhance the quality of life and housing in the most disadvantaged regions and in those with multiple disadvantages, as well as providing opportunities for free movement, which have an impact on education, participation in employment and access to health services, as well as promoting programmes aimed at helping marginalised social groups to catch up and thus be able to participate in economic activity. |

| (20) Member States and the Commission (Eurostat) should have sustainable access to the widest possible range of data sources to produce European statistics on population and housing of high quality and in a cost-effective manner.

Those implementing acts shall specify the following technical elements, where appropriate: |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 2. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts to supplement this Regulation in accordance with Article 17 by specifying the data sets and metadata to be provided by Member States on an ad hoc basis, where the collection of additional statistics is deemed necessary for the purpose of addressing additional statistical needs under this Regulation. | 2. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts to supplement this Regulation in accordance with Article 17 by specifying the data sets and metadata to be provided by Member States on an ad hoc basis, where the collection of additional statistics is deemed necessary for the purpose of addressing additional statistical needs under this Regulation, while prioritising the administrative data sources and records to be used for the collection of requested data. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 2. When Member States publish statistics required by this Regulation at national level ahead of the provision deadlines established in accordance with Articles 5(5) and 7(5), they shall provide them to the Commission (Eurostat) as follows: | deleted |
| (a) statistics of quarterly and six-monthly periodicity at the latest by up to one working day after the national publication; | |
| (b) statistics of annual periodicity at the latest by up to three working days after the national publication; | |
| (c) statistics of multi-annual and decennial periodicity at latest by up to seven working days after the national publication. |
Data published at the national level may be presented in totally different format and scope than data sets transferred to the Commission on the basis of this regulation. To prepare for the appropriate form based on this regulation may be quite a difficult task. Therefore, to meet deadlines covered by proposed paragraph 2 Member States may be forced to delay national publications – what would be disadvantage for the users. Such earlier data transmissions may rather be a subject of agreements at the operational (Eurostat) level, especially bearing in mind the existing examples.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| The revised data sets and metadata shall be provided within the deadlines specified in paragraph 2 of this Article and be complemented by quality reporting in accordance with Article 12. | The revised data sets and metadata shall be provided within the deadlines specified in paragraph 2 of this Article and be complemented by quality reporting in accordance with Article 12. Member States shall inform the Commission of the decision to revise certain data sets as soon as the decision is made. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| The revised data sets and metadata shall be provided within the deadlines specified in paragraph 2 of this Article and be complemented by quality reporting in accordance with Article 12. | The revised data sets and metadata shall be provided within 40 working days. |
The transmission deadlines specified in paragraph 2 are too short and should be extended to limit the additional burden for National Statistical Institutes.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1. Member States and the Commission (Eurostat) shall use one or a combination of the following data sources, provided that they allow for producing statistics that meet the quality requirements laid down in Article 12: | 1. Member States and the Commission (Eurostat) shall use one or a combination of the following data sources, under the condition, that data is collected and processed in accordance with safeguards determined in applicable EU data protection laws and provided that they allow for producing statistics that meet the quality requirements laid down in Article 12: |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (d) reuse of data derived from data sharing between national statistical authorities and the Commission (Eurostat) within the European Statistical System. | (d) reuse of data derived from voluntary data sharing between national statistical authorities and the Commission (Eurostat) within the European Statistical System. |

|---|---|
| 2. Member States shall assess and monitor the quality of their data sources, including of administrative records and other appropriate sources used. | 2. Member States shall assess and monitor the quality of their data sources. |
There is no need to call attention to one of the sources specifically. All data sources should be of a similar high data quality.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 4. The statistics compiled under this Regulation shall be based on statistically sound and well-documented methods taking into account international recommendations and best practice such as ‘signs of life’, ‘rate of stay’ and other scientifically-based statistical estimation methods used for compiling usually resident population in the Member States. | 4. The statistics compiled under this Regulation shall be based on statistically sound and well-documented methods taking into account international recommendations and best practice such as ‘signs of life’, ‘rate of stay’ and other scientifically-based statistical estimation methods used for compiling usually resident population in the Member States provided suitable measures to safeguard the data subjects’ rights and freedoms are respected. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |

| 5. When requested for reasons of assessment of statistical quality, Member States shall provide the Commission (Eurostat) with the assessment results of the data sources, the documentation of methods and necessary clarifications. | 5. On a duly justified request from the Commission (Eurostat), Member States shall provide the Commission (Eurostat) with the assessment results of the data sources, the documentation of methods and necessary clarifications. |

|---|---|
| 1. National authorities in charge of administrative data sources relevant for the purposes of this Regulation shall allow reuse of these data in time and frequency sufficient to produce and submit statistics within the deadlines and compliant with the specific quality requirements according to this Regulation. The timely access to administrative records, as well as its operational modalities, shall be included in cooperation agreements to be established between those national authorities and the national statistical authorities. | 1. National authorities in charge of administrative data sources relevant for the purposes of this Regulation shall allow reuse of these data in time and frequency sufficient to produce and submit statistics within the deadlines and compliant with the specific quality requirements according to this Regulation. The timely access to administrative records, as well as its operational modalities, shall be included in cooperation agreements to be established between those national authorities and the national statistical authorities or in relevant national legal acts defining access to relevant data sources. |
The way of coming to agreement with national data providers should be left to discretion of Member States as there exist differences in administrative setting and legal procedures. Therefore, the provision should be more flexible here.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (b) capture or estimate hard-to-reach population groups; | deleted |
As no generally accepted sources or methodologies to comply with this provision are at hand, it seems premature to legislate on this issue.
