COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/881
of 23 May 2017
implementing Regulation (EC) No 763/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on population and housing censuses, as regards the modalities and structure of the quality reports and the technical format for data transmission, and amending Regulation (EU) No 1151/2010
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 763/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 on population and housing censuses (1), and in particular Articles 5(5) and 6(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 763/2008 establishes common rules for the decennial provision of comprehensive data on population and housing. |
(2) |
Under Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/712 (2), the next population and housing census should relate to the reference year 2021. |
(3) |
Commission Regulation (EU) No 1151/2010 (3) laid down the modalities and structure of the quality reports and the technical format for data transmission on population and housing censuses for the reference year 2011. |
(4) |
For the purposes of the next population and housing census 2021, and in order to assess the quality of the data transmitted to the Commission (Eurostat), it is necessary to lay down new modalities and structure for the quality reports and the technical format for data transmission. |
(5) |
In accordance with Article 5(5) of Regulation (EC) No 763/2008, Member States should transmit their validated data and metadata in electronic form, in an appropriate technical format to be adopted by the Commission. The Statistical Data and Metadata eXchange (SDMX) initiative on statistical and technical standards for the exchange and sharing of data and metadata, on which Census Hub is based, was launched by the Bank of International Settlements, the European Central Bank, the Commission (Eurostat), the International Monetary Fund, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the United Nations and the World Bank. For the exchange of official statistics, SDMX and the Census Hub provide statistical, technical and transmission standards. A technical format in accordance with those standards should therefore be introduced. |
(6) |
Regulation (EU) No 1151/2010 requires Member States to store the population and housing census data for the 2011 reference year until 1 January 2025. In order to allow users to make comparisons between the two censuses, the 2011 census data should be available until 1 January 2035 in parallel with the 2021 data. |
(7) |
Regulation (EU) No 1151/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(8) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
