(3)

Commission Regulation (EU) No 275/2010 (3) laid down the criteria for the evaluation of quality and the contents of the quality reports to be provided by the Member States.

| (4) | It is necessary to update the list of characteristics by specifying data series on the demography of enterprises with at least one employee to respond to the need for increased international comparability of results, especially for statistics on entrepreneurship. The first reference year, the frequency and the breakdown of results for these characteristics should also be established.

Therefore, Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 295/2008 and Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 251/2009 should be amended accordingly.

| (5) | Experience has shown that the characteristics established in Annexes V to VII to Regulation (EC) No 295/2008 are not needed at the current annual frequency. The frequency should therefore be adapted to a compilation once every 10 years. Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 251/2009 should be amended accordingly. |

| (7) | For the purposes of ensuring a better monitoring of progress in innovation in the context of the Europe 2020 strategy, Union and national stakeholders have called for a single integrated indicator. This indicator is, inter alia, meant to benchmark employment in innovative, high-growth enterprises across Europe and internationally. Providing the data underlying this new indicator is urgent so as to allow its use in the European Semester 2014. Regulation (EC) No 295/2008 should thus be amended accordingly. |
