Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee on the ‘Proposal for a Council Regu-
lation (EC) concerning short-term statistics’ (1)

(98/C 19/32)

On 29 July 1997 the Council decided to consult the Economic and Social Committee, under
Article 198 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the above-mentioned
proposal.

The Section for Economic, Financial and Monetary Questions, which was responsible for
preparing the Committee’s work on the subject, adopted its opinion on 14 October 1997. The
rapporteur working without a study group was Mr Vasco Cal.

At its 349th plenary session of 29 and 30 October 1997 (meeting of 30 October) the Economic
and Social Committee adopted the following opinion with 52 votes in favour and two
abstentions.

1.
The Economic and Social Committee approves
this proposal for a regulation which aims to provide the
Community with more reliable, complete, up-to-date,
and above all comparable, short-term statistics on
businesses, thus facilitating the follow-up of the internal
market and the development of the European Union’s
internal policies, including monetary and social policy.

The Committee considers that the proposal takes
2.
sufficient account of the principle of subsidiarity in
requiring the Member States to provide the necessary
data whilst leaving to them the choice of collection
method.

3.
The Committee approves the Commission’s desire
to ensure that the new measure does not increase the
administrative workload of small and medium-sized
enterprises. Breaking down the data by company size
would over time make it easier to identify the effects of
the economic cycle on enterprises of different size.

Brussels, 30 October 1997.

4.
The Committee feels that the proposal should be
adapted to reflect the requirements of the employment
policies of the Member States and the coordinating role
which the European Union is required to play in this
field by the provisions of the Treaty of Amsterdam. In
particular, statistics on businesses should be more
detailed as regards employment, setting out for example
the number of hours worked in the commercial and
services sectors too, and overtime worked in all these
sectors.

5. Moreover, the Committee regrets that the ‘other
services’ sub-sector is not included in the periodic
collection of data and hopes that the proposed pilot
studies will lead to its inclusion at the earliest oppor-
tunity.

Finally, the Committee considers it essential that
6.
the social partners and the economic and social interest
groups should as soon as possible enjoy access to
short-term statistics on businesses in order that they
may be able to perform their role to the full.

The President

of the Economic and Social Committee
