Regulation (EC) No 458/2007 established a methodological framework to be used for compiling statistics on a comparable basis for the benefits of the European Union and time limits for the transmission and dissemination of statistics compiled in accordance with the European system of integrated social protection statistics (hereinafter referred to as ‘ESSPROS’).

 

(2)

Pursuant to Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 458/2007, pilot data collection for the year 2005 was carried out in all Member States with a view to introducing a module on net social protection benefits.

 

(3)

A synthesis of the national pilot data collection showed that the outcome of a very large majority of the pilot studies was positive, so the implementing measures needed to launch full data collection for the module on net social protection benefits should be adopted.

The module on net social protection benefits should be obtained using the restricted approach, in order to have the same population of beneficiaries of the gross social protection benefits collected in the ESSPROS core system.
