Report from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on the implementation of the European Statistical Programme 2013-2017

Regulation (EU) No 99/2013 on the European statistical programme for 2013-2017 was adopted on 15 January 2013. Article 15 of the Regulation requires the Commission to submit an intermediate progress report on the implementation of the programme to the European Parliament and to the Council by 30 June 2015. It must consult the European Statistical System Committee before submitting this report.

The intermediate progress report is considered as an evaluation of the programme to date against the Commission’s standards. It must therefore cover five evaluation criteria: effectiveness, relevance, efficiency, EU added value and coherence. The scope of the report is limited to the execution of the European statistical programme in 2013 and 2014. Relevant progress accomplished in 2015 are also highlighted where appropriate.
