(4) In the context of Better Regulation, Union policies should increasingly be designed and monitored on the basis of the needs of the EU Member States and in the light of solid evidence.

(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 and make them more effective. 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 Semester. 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.
