Recital 7

(7) To achieve the targets of the European Green Deal, 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. The spiralling cost of living brought by high inflation and energy prices has reaffirmed the need for accurate and comparable data on housing affordability in order to monitor the situation and adequately inform policy makers. 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.

(10) The evaluation of existing statistics25 on the population and housing censuses in the Union, statistics on international migration flows, migrant stocks and acquisitions of citizenship and demography statistics has shown that the current legal framework comprising Regulations (EC) No 862/200726 , (EC) No 763/200827 and (EU) No 1260/2013 of the European Parliament and the Council has led to significant overall improvements of statistics compared to the 2005 situation without the current legal framework in force. That framework, however, does not capture adequately the scale of informal housing and has potential for a lack of coherence and comparability, which should be addressed. __________________ 25 SWD(2023)13. 26 Regulation (EC) No 862/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 July 2007 on Community statistics on migration and international protection and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 311/76 on the compilation of statistics on foreign workers (OJ L 199, 31.7.2007, p. 23). 27 Regulation (EC) No 763/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 on population and housing censuses (OJ L 218, 13.8.2008, p. 14).

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 Union23and Articles 10 and 19 TFEU, the Union needs reliable and comparable statistics. 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.

(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.deleted

Amendment 17 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 29

(29) Data sources available at national level are not always able to capture accurately phenomena related to the free movement of persons in the Union, the access of persons to cross-border services on demographic vital events and the exercise of persons rights to buy and own housing property used as primary, holiday and secondary accommodation across the Union. There are also ~~asymmetr~~discrepancies in the bilateral migration flows and difficulties to measure population groups, for instance among the migrant, homeless or stateless population. Therefore, data sharing for the purposes of compiling statistics on population and migration and ensuring their quality should be reinforced and considered as yet another data source. Such reinforced data sharing may cover a wide range of relevant data, from data that clearly do not allow for the identification of statistical units, either directly or indirectly, to data potentially subject to statistical confidentiality requirements. Member States should, in their own interest and in the interest of the other Member States, participate in data sharing activities, including in pilot projects assessing innovative secure solutions. The Commission (Eurostat) should also establish a secure infrastructure to facilitate such data sharing while ensuring all necessary safeguards.

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, and for monitoring progress towards the achievement of the European Pillar of Social Rights, the Union needs reliable and comparable statistics. 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. In addition, Eurofound provides insightful data and information collected via surveys on people’s working and living conditions. 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.

(7) To achieve the targets of the European Green Deal, 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. Furthermore, as the green transition is profoundly changing the European industry and economy, the changes in the labour market will be immense, thus the need for new evidence- based policies will be required to address the pressing challenges related to environmental and social aspects. Namely, better identifying and anticipating skills needs by timely disaggregated data collection is essential to adequately address the new ‘green jobs’ and prepare the workforce, especially workers with less training opportunities and urgent needs for up- and reskilling, throughout the transition. 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.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11

(11) The ongoing Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, climate change, digital transformation, evolving demographic situation and recent migration trends have created demands for timelier, more frequent, and more detailed European statistics on population, socio-economic developments, vital events and housing including details of topics or groups that have become politically and societally relevant during the past decade. In addition, the existing legal framework is not flexible enough to adapt to evolving policy needs and to enable the use of new sources at national and Union level. Furthermore, the structure of the existing legal framework in the form of three separate regulations, adopted at different times, has led to intrinsic inconsistencies of the statistics. Finally, as Regulation (EU) No 1260/2013 will cease to apply on 31 August 2028, a new legal basis is required for the demographic statistics collected under that Regulation. It is therefore necessary to replace the current legal framework by a new, more coherent and flexible one that should amend relevant parts of Regulation (EC) No 862/2007 and repeal Regulations (EC) No 763/2008 and (EU) No 1260/2013.

(24) To ensure the comparability of European statistics on population and housing at Union level, it is essential that common population definitions are used and implemented in a harmonised way. To implement the single harmonised population base consistently, robustly and cost-effectively while ensuring timely results, statistical methods and modelling techniques such as ‘signs of life’ and ‘rate of stay’ need to be applied, while the provisions of Article 2(d) of Regulation 763/2008 and Article 2(d) of Regulation 1260/2013 shall be kept.

Amendment 62 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 26

(26) European statistics on population and housing should meet the quality criteria on relevance, accuracy, timeliness and punctuality, accessibility and clarity, comparability and coherence specified in Regulation (EC) No 223/2009. Their quality should be enhanced as far as the needs of the Union evolve, and mechanisms should be established to address possible situations where the quality of data is not guaranteed. In such instances, the Commission (Eurostat) should have the right to check the methodology that is being used and organise site visits of the authorities collecting the data. Assistance and technical support should also be provided upon the request of national authorities. Appropriate results from the quality assessment carried out by the Commission (Eurostat) should be publicly available to statistics users~~. A~~ by assuring free and easy access to these statistics ~~should be free and easy~~ through Commission (Eurostat) databases on its website and in its publications.

(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.

Recital 27

(27) Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 includes rules on the provision of data from the Member States to the Commission (Eurostat) and on the use thereof, including on the transmission and protection of confidential data. Measures taken in accordance with this Regulation should ensure that confidential data are provided and used exclusively for strictly statistical purposes in accordance with Articles 21 and 22 of that Regulation.

Amendment 66 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 29

(29) Data sources available at national level are not always able to capture accurately phenomena related to the free movement of persons in the Union, the access of persons to cross-border services on demographic vital events and the exercise of persons rights to buy and own housing property used as primary, holiday and secondary accommodation across the Union. There are also asymmetries in the bilateral migration flows and difficulties to measure population groups, for instance among the migrant, homeless or stateless population. Therefore, data sharing for the purposes of compiling statistics on population and migration and ensuring their quality should be reinforced and considered as yet another data source. Such reinforced data sharing may cover a wide range of relevant data, from data that clearly do not allow for the identification of statistical units, either directly or indirectly, to data potentially subject to statistical confidentiality requirements. Member States should, in their own interest and in the interest of the other Member States, participate in data sharing activities, including in pilot projects assessing innovative secure solutions. The Commission (Eurostat) should also establish a secure infrastructure to facilitate such data sharing while ensuring all necessary safeguards for data protection.
