ESS VIP-ESBRs
European System of
interoperable statistical
Business Registers
2012 ESSnet Workshop, Rome
3-4 December 2012
Eurostat
Scope and objectives
• The purpose of the project is to obtain
better business statistics, through the
interoperability
of
consistent
business
registers.
• The main idea is to develop statistical
business registers across the European
Statistical System into a network of
Business Registers so that they serve as the
backbone for the production of European
businesses statistics.

Need for change
Three main problems can be identified in the
present situation:
1. Inconsistencies in business statistics, due to
different practices in the use and role of national BR
2. Need of better globalisation statistics based on a
better EGR, which need to build on more consistent
and interconnected national BR and to rely on a
very good quality management
3. Inefficiencies in data handling procedures and
duplication of work due to a lack of common
approaches, tools and access facilities

Benefits
• ESBRs
will
improve
consistency
and
coherence, reduce production costs and
facilitate data integration.
• EGR will be at the heart of the system, allowing
the production of better statistics on
globalization and of specialized statistics on
European
multinational
enterprise
groups
(MNEs).
• ESBRs will pioneer solutions (micro-data
linking, use of administrative data, secure
transmission of confidential data, etc.) that will
be available for other projects.

EGR
 The new project will build on the achievements of
the EGR project, but in the meanwhile will aim at
improving:
 National BRs (quality, consistency, etc.)
 The share of information and best practices inside
the ESS
In order to achieve …
 A fully operational and useful EGR
 Positioned at the heart of an ESS system of consistent and
interoperable BRs
… some further work is needed:
 At national level  national BRs
 At ESS level  EGR

ESBRs pillars
Strengthening the role of national BR
The aims are:
 to facilitate the integration of statistical data on
businesses:
 horizontal integration – between different
statistical domains
 vertical integration – between European
aggregates and the sum of MS data
 to develop statistical BRs across the ESS into a
network of interoperable BRs

ESBRs pillars
Improving the EGR quality
The target is:
 a very high-quality EGR
 positioned at the heart of the system
interconnected and consistent BRs
 providing reliable register data on European MNEs
 allowing better statistics on globalisation
Improvements through:
 coordinated view on MNEs’ structure (profiling)
 adequate governance structure
 data quality management program
 appropriate legal basis

IT infrastructure
Elements: id. service, exchange of confidential data &
non structured information (notifications, reports, etc.)
The aims are:
 to get easy and secure access to data
 to increase effectiveness and efficiency of DQM
 to increase the interoperability between EGR, national
BRs and other sources (e.g. RIAD *)
 to increase EGR’s role as tool for vertical and
horizontal integration of statistics on globalisation

Maturity and next
steps
• Autumn 2012: discussion with MS in several
WG, in the BSDG (directors group) and at the
ESSC on 15 November
• During 2013
 overlap with the ongoing EGR and Profiling
projects (ending in 2013)
 fine-tuning the project: better definition of the
actions and activities; implementation plan
 creating the governance structure and new
ESSnets
 launching grants to support MS
