(6) In 2017, the European Statistical System Committee (ESSC) endorsed the Budapest Memorandum, which stated the need for annual statistics on the size and on certain social, economic and demographic characteristics of the population and improved statistics on migration. For the observance of the principles of equality and non-discrimination of its citizens in all activities and the individual citizens’ rights as enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union23 and Articles 10 and 19 TFEU, the Union needs reliable and comparable statistics. Migration and international protection statistics are essential to establishing an overview of migratory flows within the EU and to ensuring that Member States apply EU legislation correctly, in compliance with the legislation in force. Regulation (EU) 2019/1700 provides a framework for data collections from samples that allow to collect data on equality and non- discrimination in so far as this is feasible on samples and to analyse some aspects of equality and discrimination by producing socio- economic indicators and information on experience of discrimination. In addition, the Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) and the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) carry out specific studies and dedicated surveys that can further extend the availability of equality statistics at EU level. Future cooperation and coordination between Member States, Eurostat and these agencies should be enhanced to meet growing user demands for reliable and comprehensive data on equality and diversity in the Union. _________________ 23 OJ C 202, 7.6.2016, p. 389.
