Amendment 19 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1
(1) Reliable and relevant evidence based on European statistics is absolutely essential to measuring the progress and evaluating the efficiency of the European Union’s policies and programmes, especially in the context of the Europe 2020 strategy and the Agenda for jobs, growth, fairness and democratic change.

Amendment 21 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4
(4) In the context of Better Regulation, Union policies should increasingly be designed and monitored on the basis of solid evidence. The outcomes of a number of policies and programmes funded by the common budget are currently impossible to evaluate owing to the lack of relevant data. European statistics have a distinct role to play in that respect and can make a real difference, especially in policy areas where responsiveness is key for policies to be successful.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5
(5) Better statistics are therefore crucial to achieving better results and contributing to a better Europe, and greater efforts should be made to boost investments in official statistics at both European and national levels. This should provide guidance in priority policy areas and for capacity-building, in addition to current guidance and ongoing re-prioritisation. More specifically, action should be taken to tackle the most urgent statistical gaps, increase timeliness and support political priorities and economic policy coordination through the European Semestermeasuring the efficiency of European policies and programmes. The Commission (Eurostat) should also provide new population projections in close cooperation with the national statistical institutes to update the analysis of the economic and budgetary implications of population ageing.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6
(6) Experimental ecosystem accounts and climate-change statistics, including those relevant to climate-change adaptation and ‘footprints’, should be further developed, particularly in support of the implementation of the 2015 Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The European Energy Union and the 2030 framework for climate and energy, which aims to make the Union’s so as to make the Member States’ economyies and energy systems more competitive, secure and sustainable, will require. It is therefore desirable to gather new statistics on energy consumption, energy efficiency, renewable energies, energy dependence and security of supply.

Amendment 26 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10
(10) Since tThe objective of this Regulation, namely to extend the European statistical programme to cover the years 2018 to 2020, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Union level,better achieved at international level. The institutions of the Union may therefore adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.
