(EC) No
concerning short-term statistics (2) imposed an obligation
on Member States to supply a new indicator (import
prices in the industry sector) and to transmit data on
non-domestic indicators according to the distinction
into euro area and non-euro-area. As a consequence,
substantial costs could have been created for national
statistical systems.

Regulation (EC) No 1158/2005 introduced the possibility
of establishing European sample schemes in order to
to
reduce the costs
ensure that European data requirements are met and to
enable the Commission (Eurostat) to produce credible
European estimates for the indicators concerned.
