Public confidence in European statistics is essential as an increasing number of decisions depend on reliable data and indicators. Since 2005 considerable efforts have been made to enhance the European statistical system. However, the move towards a better quality framework remains a challenge for all those involved both at the European level and within Member States. The Court recommends strengthening professional independence, providing sufficient resources, and stepping up supervision in order to make sure that quality standards are met.
