(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 politicalthe priorities and economic policy coordination through the European Semesterin terms of achieving the 17 United Nations sustainable development goals, with particular regard to income and gender inequalities. The Commission (Eurostat) should also provide new population projections in close cooperation with the national statistical institutes to update the analysis of the social, economic and budgetary implications of both population ageing and migration flows.

(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 economy and energy system more competitive, secure and sustainable,is will require new statistics on energy consumption, energy efficiency, renewable energies, energy dependence and security of supply.

(6a) Agricultural statistics constitute a major gap in the European statistical system. Hence, it is crucial to identify the loopholes in current statistics and identify more robust indicators across and within Member States (by gender, age, region inter alia) on economic and social indicators relevant to the agricultural sector (including on atypical labour relationships, income inequality and in- work poverty, and patterns of land ownership) that complement existing data on farm incomes etc. Also, it is important to develop more disaggregated data on price indices, including absolute values, for agricultural products in order to monitor agricultural markets and address potential problems, including lack of competition in the distribution and commercialisation of agricultural products.
