Amendment 35 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1
(1) European statistics on population and housing are required for the design, implementation and evaluation of Union policies, in particular those addressing the demographic change, the green and digital transformations, the promotion of energy efficiency, economic, social and territorial cohesion, implementing the principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda.

Amendment 39 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7
(7) To achieve the targets of the European Green Deal and the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan, to tackle the economic and social crises caused by the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine and to fight the cost-of-living crisis, the development and evaluation of effective policies require enhanced statistics relating to the energy use and efficiency of housing, detailed geographical data on the distribution of the population as well as deeper studies of the relationship between population and housing. With the COVID-19 pandemic the need for reliable, high frequency and timely statistics on deaths in the Union was manifested. While data needs were met with a voluntary data collection from Member States to the Commission (Eurostat), the Union needs an adequate mechanism for mandatory collection of such data within the European Statistical System (ESS) with the necessary frequency, timeliness and detail.

Amendment 47 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
(13) The rapidly changing nature of some population and housing characteristics, in particular in relation to demographic and migration phenomena, and the corresponding need for a prompt targeting and adaptation of policies means that there is a need for statistics to be available on a timely basis soon after the reference period. The periodicity and timeliness of statistics should be therefore tangibly advanced. To this end, the Member States should provide adequate resources for their national statistical institutes.

Amendment 54 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17
(17) The current legal framework for European statistics on population and housing needs to be updated to ensure that the presently separate statistical processes are adequately integrated in a common framework which allows the ESS to respond effectively to new information needs of the Union and encourage statistical innovations. Statistical output must enhance to remain relevant in the face of demographic, migratory, social and economic changes in societyand challenges.

Amendment 59 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 23
(23) Privately held data can improve the coverage, timeliness and crisis response capacities of European statistics on population and housing or to enable statistical innovation. Such data have the potential to complement existing demography and migration statistics, bring statistical innovation and even serve for production of early estimates. The national statistical institutes and other competent national authorities and the Commission (Eurostat) should have access to and use such data, based on specific data-sharing protocols.

Amendment 63 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 26 b (new)
(26b) Adequate, timely and effective policies presuppose reliable and comparable data, disaggregated by gender, age, nationality, ethnic origin, disability, socio-economic status, geographical area, and other parameters in accordance with the United Nations Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics. This data is relevant to better understand population and housing trends, to combat intersectional discrimination and to implement and assess Union policies, objectives and actions, such as the European Pillar of Social Rights, the European Child Guarantee, the European Care Strategy, the European Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the European Platform on Combatting Homelessness, all of which rely heavily on data about households and families. The collection and the use of such data must be conducted with full respect of Union and national privacy and fundamental rights standards, particularly in statistical research involving minors.

Amendment 64 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 26 a (new)
(26a) European statistics on population and housing should address the persistent lack of data regarding vulnerable groups (hard-to-reach population groups), such as persons residing in institutions (e.g. military institutions, correctional and penal institutions, dormitories of schools and universities, religious institutions, hospitals, residential care centres, institutions for persons with disabilities and orphanages), persons aged 75+, persons with disabilities, homeless people, persons with migrant background and stateless persons. In order to bridge this data divide and to prevent social and economic inequalities arising from it, the Member States should develop strategies and targeted solutions for collecting data about hard-to-reach population groups, in particular with regard to locating, contacting, persuading and interviewing such populations.
