Background of the vision – why?
 Strategic discussions in 2008-2009
– Who
– How
– What
 New statistical law
– ESS defined
– European systems method – European approach to statistics
 Drivers for change:
– New emerging needs – available resources
– Need to reduce burden
– IT development
 Vision – ESS strategy

Current situation – “Stovepipe approach”
.
Weaknesses
Current situation
Weakness
User needs are defined in
an isolated manner
no cross-checks for synergies;
inconsistencies
As a result, data collections Single-purpose use of the data,
are isolated as well
inconsistencies
Regulations are made
separately by statistical
domain
Differences in concepts,
breakdowns, ref. periods…
Separate data
transmissions from NSIs to
Eurostat
Different channels and formats,
difficult follow-up, inconsistencies in
metadata
Variety of tools for data
validation and analysis
Inefficiency, lack of interoperability,
difficult quality control

ESS strategy (1)
Joint ESS strategy for the implementation of the
Commission Communication on the production
method for EU statistics”
10 principles of the joint ESS strategy
ESS strategy (2)
1. User needs
2. The “how” = the Vision
The “what” (priorities, programmes, products,
services) = separate strategic approach
3. Long-term approach
4. Implementation of strategy in annual and
multiannual programmes
5. Subsidiarity
ESS strategy (3)
6. Partnership in all forms
7. Modernisation through integration, standardisation,
“generic” ICT tools and methods
8. Vision principles as part of regular ESS dialogues
at domain level
9. Output-oriented framework legislation
10.Human resources development in the ESS is
strategy oriented

What is the EuroGroups Register
Central register kept at Eurostat in combination with national registers in each Member State,
altogether forming a network of registers on multinational enterprise groups and their constituent units.
EGR Central

Information stored in the EGR (v.1.0)

EGR ambitions
 to become the platform that supports the production of micro
based statistics on globalisation in Europe
 by offering statistical compilers access to integrated and upto-date register data on multinational enterprise groups
 by way of collecting, comparing and selecting information from
different commercial and institutional sources
 the EGR provides a set of pooled information that allows
statistical compilers to organise the data collection and to
produce statistics on the basis of shared and coordinated
information basis.
Who are these compilers, in the first place
 Inward FATS needs:
– list of resident enterprises controlled by a foreign enterprise
– the country of the decision center of the ultimate controling
institution (UCI) for those foreign controlled enterprises
 Outward FATS needs:
– list of resident UCIs who control foreign enterprises
– Information on foreign enterprises controlled by an resident UCI
 FDI needs:
– Identification of the Ultimate Investing Country/Controlling Parent
– Identification of the Special Purpose Entities
– Identification of FDI relations

Future cycles
 The 3rd EGR cycle started in 2011 and will be finished
in December 2011. The number of MNEs has been
increased to 10 000
 From 2012 and on: EGR v2.0
EGR version2.0
Some future challenges of the EGR

Provide EGR users with remote online access to micro data in
addition to currently used data transmission methods.

Develop further the EGR processes through an enhanced EGR
business model taking into account the interactions between the
central EGR and the national register environment.

Preparing the exchange of EGR data with central banks (approval of
implementing provision, authorisation of National Statistical
Institutes are needed).

Reviewing the current acquisition strategy for data from commercial
sources.
