REGULATION (EU) 2024/3018 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 27 November 2024
amending Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 on European statistics
(Text with relevance for the EEA and for Switzerland)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 338(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank (1),
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) establishes the legal framework at Union level for the development, production and dissemination of European statistics. |
(2) |
Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 was amended by Regulation (EU) 2015/759 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) in order to further strengthen the governance of the European Statistical System (ESS), in particular its professional independence. That strengthened governance has proven to be effective. |

On 6 March 2023, the European Statistical Governance Advisory Board (ESGAB) published its annual report for 2022. As stated therein, ensuring professional independence is fundamental for providing objective and impartial European statistics and for building public trust in decisions and policies based on them. Therefore, Member States and the Commission are to follow international best practices regarding the selection, appointment and dismissal of the heads of national statistical institutes (NSIs) and the Director-General of the Commission (Eurostat) respectively, on the basis of clear professional criteria such as statistical reputation and a high level of competence in the field of statistics. The reasons for an early termination of the contract are not to compromise the professional independence; they are to be well justified, specified and communicated in an appropriate way, while respecting the rights of the person concerned. Furthermore, the Commission (Eurostat) is to inform ESGAB about any serious concerns it has concerning the implementation of the European Statistics Code of Practice, considering ESGAB’s important role as a Union body tasked with providing an independent assessment of the ESS’s implementation of the European Statistics Code of Practice and advice on strengthening users’ confidence and trust in European statistics. |

Digital transformation has ushered in radically different realities and created a new environment with new needs for European statistics. Moreover, recent humanitarian and political events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and the energy and cost-of-living crisis triggered by the Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, have amplified the demands and expectations for timelier, more frequent and more detailed European statistics needed to support Union decision-making and ensure the best possible Union response to crises. |
(5) |
There can be crisis situations in which timely and innovative European statistics are necessary in order to respond to urgent policy needs. For example, the lack of timely data on unit profits and business profits hampers policymakers in their efforts to comprehensively assess the issue of price surges at a time when research is carried out on the impact of corporate policies as a possible contributor to inflation. It is therefore crucial to establish procedures to respond to urgent policy needs for European statistics. |
