  2. Who are the European stakeholders? • the European Union institutions • in particular the European Commission • Eurostat (within the framework set by the1997 Commission Decision) • all the other members of the European Statistical System (and their masters) but also • media, organised interest, scientific community

  3. The European Context of the Statistical Capacity Master Plan • Community legislation and codification (acquis communautaire) • ESS –wide co-operation among NSIs • Co-ordination through Eurostat, a DG of the European Commission • Policy use of official Community statistics

  4. EU political and institutional needs • compliance with law and code • competence and authority • adequate resources • robust processes for collecting data, compiling statistics, transmitting and disseminating results

  5. particular ESS needs • active participation in networking • capacity for co-operating ESS-wide • readiness to strive for best practices • readiness to defend EU positions • Capacity to communicate forcefully • internal as well as external • connectivity and transparency

  6. European Union: a biased perception • a constraint, a burden, an obligation • a user and thus a source of finance but not as • a stabiliser, a partner, a supporter

  7. ESS: an underestimated aspect • a source for methodological innovation • An opportunity for simplification and burden reduction • An additional source of information • an opportunity for economies of scale • joint infrastructure maintenance • (partial) specialisation

  8. Conclusions • Very little can/should be done autonomously • Importance and relevance of national statistics in decline, of contributions to (and comparisons with) Community statistics on the rise • EU with its ESS not only a constraint, but also an opportunity
