Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6

(6) To assess the macro-economic and ecological importance of tourism in the European economies based on the internationally accepted framework of tourism satellite accounting, showing its effects on the economy and jobs as well as on the external costs arising from its impact on the environment, including climate change, the need to improve the availability, completeness and comprehensiveness of the basic ~~tourism~~ statistics as an input for compiling such accounts and, if deemed necessary by the Commission, as preparation for a subsequent legislative proposal for the transmission of harmonised tables for tourism satellite accounts, requires that the legal requirements which are currently laid down in Directive 95/57/EC be updated.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 4 a (new)

Article 4a Pilot studies 1. The Commission shall draw up a programme under which Member States shall carry out pilot studies into developing tourism satellite accounts showing the effects of tourism on the economy and jobs as well as the external costs arising from its impact on the environment, including climate change. 2. The results of the pilot studies shall be evaluated and published by the Commission, which shall weigh the benefits of the availability of the data against the cost of collection and the response burden involved. 3. If these results show that harmonised tables for tourism satellite accounts need to be compiled, the Commission shall take appropriate action, including the submission of a legislative proposal, in order to address this issue adequately. 4. The Commission shall draw up a programme under which Member States may carry out pilot studies on a voluntary basis in order to develop a data compilation system showing the application and efficiency of different European Eco-labels as well as the effects of tourism on the environment, including transport-related and other GHG emissions.
