Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning structural business statistics  /* COM/2006/0066 final - COD 2006/0020 */  

		ENBrussels, 20.2.2006COM(2006) 66 final2006/0020 (COD)Proposal for aREGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCILconcerning structural business statistics(presented by the Commission)EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUMContext of the proposal |Grounds for and objectives of the proposalIn order to respond to increased need for statistical data to underpin policy making and monitoring, the proposed regulation improves the current regulation by increasing coverage of service activities, by adding annexes on Business Demography and Business Services and by introducing a new tool to respond to emerging user needs. Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No. 58/97 of 20 December 1996 concerning structural business statistics, which is the common framework for the collection, compilation, transmission and evaluation of Community statistics on the structure, activity, competitiveness and performance of businesses in the Community, has been amended four times. Since further amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interests of clarity. The recast regulation aims to continue with the existing statistical support for decisions in current policy areas and to satisfy the additional requirements arising from new Community policy initiatives, and from the ongoing review of statistical priorities and the necessity of the statistics produced – all this with a view to making best use of available resources and minimising response burden.Wherever possible, the recast regulation proposes simplifications and alleviation of burden to balance the new requirements. In the frame of the discussion of the Annual Work Programme 2005 in their 53rd and 54th meetings, the Statistical Programme Committee welcomed the effort made by Eurostat to define negative priorities and stressed that this process should be improved. In line with the statistical programme for the Commission 2005 the recast combines new with negative priorities. |General contextStatistical data regarding services is missing for many services activities at the detailed activity level, especially within business services as this sector is very heterogeneous. For example, in Council Regulation No 58/97, manufacturing industry is covered by 241 distinct activities compared to 32 for market services. The proposal put forward concerned inter alia the adaptation of existing Regulations to put services on equal footing with manufacturing and the necessity to consider new approaches to data collection.In order to be able to give substantial policy recommendations for the support of entrepreneurship, harmonised data on business demography, i.e. data on enterprise births, survivals and deaths and their respective impact on employment are required. A flexible tool is needed enabling timely response to newly emerging statistical needs due to changing economic or technical conditions. Currently there is no legal text setting up a common framework for the systematic production of statistics on business services, business demography and ad hoc data collection. |Existing provisions in the area of the proposalCouncil Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 58/97 of 20 December 1996 concerning structural business statistics (OJ L 14, 17.1.1997, p. 1). This regulation has been amended substantively by Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 410/98 of 16 February 1998 (OJ L 52, 21.2.1998, p. 1), Commission Regulation (EC) No 1614/2002 of 6 September 2002 (OJ L 244, 12.9.2002, p. 7), Regulation (EC) No 2056/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 November 2002, (OJ L 317, 21.11.2002, p. 1), Regulation (EC) No 1882/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 September 2003, (OJ L 284, 31.10.2003, p. 1). This proposal for a regulation replaces Council Regulation No 58/97 and its amendments and proposes new amendments. A comprehensive revision of the NACE nomenclature is in preparation. It was discussed whether the SBS Regulation recast could foresee any mention of the future NACE version as regards the numerous references to its earlier version. For practical reasons, this was ruled out and the NACE revision will in any case have to ensure that all prior references to its earlier versions are transposed. |Consistency with other policies and objectives of the UnionUp-to-date statistics can substantially support key policy priorities such as the process set in place by the Lisbon European Council meeting in March 2000. The Council meeting in March 2001 in Stockholm subsequently stated that "the creation of an effectively functioning internal market in services is one of Europe's highest priorities". Statistical data is essential to better understand the real forces behind competitiveness and for giving guidance to decision making by business operators, policymakers and other stakeholders and for monitoring of progress in the implementation of policy areas as described in the Commission Communication to the Council on the competitiveness of business-related services and their contribution to the performance of European enterprises.By its Decision 2000/819/EC of 20 December 2000 the Council adopted the Multi-Annual Programme enterprise and entrepreneurship, and in particular for small and medium-sized enterprises, with a view to making progress towards the objective set out by the European Charter for Small Enterprises. This programme calls for indicators measuring successful entrepreneurship. In addition, the Commission has, on 6 April 2005, adopted a proposal for a new Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme 2007-2013 (COM (2005) 0121 final). Data on business demography are an element of the Structural Indicators monitoring the goals set by the Lisbon Strategy. Furthermore, the Green Paper on Entrepreneurship in Europe, followed by the Entrepreneurship Action Plan, of the Commission calls for a benchmarking of national policies as regards the fostering of entrepreneurship as a source of employment. |Consultation of interested parties and impact assessment |Consultation of interested parties |Consultation methods, main sectors targeted and general profile of respondentsThe Statistical Program Committee approved the strategy for the services statistics by September 2002. The need for a clearly prioritised approach within the area of services statistics was underlined as well as the need to identify negative priorities in other fields in order to be able to comply with the requests for new statistics in the area of services and to balance this by a reduction of the response burden in other sectors. The corresponding working groups, under the supervision of the Business Statistics Directors Group, which approved the action plan, were mandated to continue with the development of the proposal.The proposed recast version was drafted based on the outcome of pilot studies, written consultations of both data providers and user Directorates-Generals and consultation of the responsible working groups (business services and business demography), of the Structural Business Statistics Steering Group (meeting in November 2003, April and November 2004) and the Business Statistics Directors Group (meeting in October 2004) and of concerned Commission Directorates-Generals. |Summary of responses and how they have been taken into accountThe need for a revision of the Regulation on structural business statistics was acknowledged by all consulted groups. One component is the extension for services. All data is requested to be delivered on 4-digit level of the NACE REV. 1.1 in order to allow for a finer analysis of the services sector, especially computer and business services (Annex I, section 9). A new Annex on business services (Annex VIII) is added to the regulation to provide data on turnover broken down by product type and by residence of clients in order to gain further knowledge on business services and the functioning of the internal market in this area. Annex VIII is in general supported by Member States.A new Annex on business demography (Annex IX) has been introduced to the regulation to provide data on business demography, i.e. on enterprise births and deaths as well as the survival of newly born enterprises and the related employment effects. Annex IX found overall agreement by the Member States. An ad hoc module for the flexible conduct of surveys in response to newly emerging statistical needs has been introduced. Some Member States raised concerns about the module and asked for the possibility for co-financing from the Commission for the carrying out of ad hoc data collections.Variables especially related to gross operating surplus and labour input are moved from the sector specific annexes of the regulation (Annexes II-IV) to the common module (Annex I) to increase the availability of data in the services sector. The extension of the common module to NACE division 90 (Sewage and refuse disposal, sanitation and similar activities) and groups 92.1 (Motion picture and video activities) and 92.2 (Radio and television activities) and the planned pilot studies for sections M (Education), N (Health and social work) and O (Other community, social and personal service activities) found support in general, however, data for non-market activities were seen as difficult to collect. In order to fulfil the requirement to, wherever possible, simplify and reduce the burden, the following variables have been deleted in agreement with data providers and users:- Research and development,- Purchases of energy products from Annexes II and IV,- Trading by enterprises from Annex III,- Value of tangible goods acquired through financial leasing from Annexes II to IV, - All optional variables.- All variables that are either surveyed in the framework of another regulation or where data availability or quality was poor and user needs were limited.As the quality of the data was seen as possibly too low by some Member States, paragraph 4 has been added to article 6 of the main body of the regulation in order to allow for delivery of data flagged for low accuracy in specific cases. The breakdown of turnover by type of activity has been made multi-annual (Annexes II-IV), whilst turnover from the principal is kept annual. The variables were seen by Member States as too detailed to be collected annually with high quality. |Collection and use of expertise |There was no need for external expertise. |Impact assessmentThe information required by this Regulation can be needed for drawing up, monitoring and evaluating Community policies, in particular concerning the internal market as well as enterprise, economic, financial, employment and information society. The additional information can contribute to improved policies making and monitoring including those measures aimed at sustainable development. It will also enable monitoring of business demography and its employment and social effects.The information that will become available via this Regulation will help businesses in investment decisions and will assist enterprises to benchmark their operation against the industry average. The regulation may therefore help to promote the competitiveness of businesses. Together with the improvement of policies, the economic impact will be positive. |Legal elements of the proposal |Summary of the proposed actionThe codified and recast regulation will be the extended framework for the collection, compilation, transmission and evaluation of Community statistics on the structure, activity, competitiveness and performance of businesses in the Community. New economic, competition, social, environmental and enterprise policies and guidelines call for initiatives and decisions based on valid statistics. The information provided for under existing Regulation on structural business statistics or under any other Community legislation or available in Member States is insufficient, inadequate or insufficiently comparable to serve as a reliable basis for the work of the Commission. |Legal basisTreaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 285(1) thereof. |Subsidiarity principleThe subsidiarity principle applies insofar as the proposal does not fall under the exclusive competence of the Community. |The objectives of the proposal cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States for the following reason(s). |Community legislation of structural business statistics is needed to set common statistical standards for data, with a high degree of comparability between data collected in different Member States. Such comparability is requested by all users, not only at Community level, but also within Member States. The regulation defines a set of relevant statistical data, together with the most important definitions needed to ensure the comparability of the statistics. This is essential, for the calculation of EU aggregates, which are in great demand by users. The likely impact of a continuation of the existing situation can be the lack of information needed by the users. In order to carry out the tasks entrusted to it under the Treaties, especially with regard to the internal market, the Commission must have an adequate, meaningful, up-to-date, reliable and comparable structural business statistics. |Without the Regulation Member States would suffer from the lack of harmonised structural business statistics across the EU and would damage significantly their own interests. This regulation provides the basis for data needed for Policy formulation. Businesses and their professional associations need such information in order to understand their markets and to compare their activity and performance with those of their competitors, at regional, national and international level. |Community action will better achieve the objectives of the proposal for the following reason(s). |The best method of ascertaining the structure, activity, competitiveness and performance of enterprises in the community consists in compiling statistics in accordance with common methodological principals and common definitions of characteristics. It is only from coordinated compilation that harmonised statistics can be drawn up with reliability and the level of detail required meeting the needs of the Commission and of enterprises. |EU aggregates can be calculated only at Community level on the basis of harmonised statistics. |The national statistics need to be co-ordinated and harmonised to provide European statistics. Only the European Union is in a position to do this. |The proposal therefore complies with the subsidiarity principle. |Proportionality principleThe proposal complies with the proportionality principle for the following reason(s). |The proposed regulation and all implementing regulations will be output measures, defining the statistical characteristics and the breakdown by activities to be provided, but leaving Member States full flexibility in how to obtain to data. It does not go beyond what is needed and it takes into account burden falling on the parties concerned to be minimised and proportionate. The proposed regulation does not prevent Member States from collecting other or more detailed statistics if they wish. |The recast regulation takes into account the continuation of existing statistical support for decision in current policy areas and the additional requirements from new Community policy initiatives, the need for ongoing review of statistical priorities and the necessity of the statistics to be produced. It aims at making best use of available resources and minimising response burden. Wherever possible, the recast regulation proposes simplifications and alleviation of burden in order to balance the new requirements. |Choice of instruments |Proposed instrument: Regulation. |Other means would not be adequate for the following reason(s).The requirements of the statistics in this regulation need direct and immediate execution in the Member States. They concern specifically identified statistical units in the Member States, the objective being clear and immediately applicable and the elements to be surveyed being specified in the act together with methodology, timing and periodicity. As such, therefore, they are not in general dependant on national measures for harmonisation, and national authorities, being concerned by the measures, simply have to apply them. |Budgetary implication |The costs of the mandatory data collection in Member States are borne by countries. For pilot studies co-financing would be necessary to test the feasibility of the collection of the data requested by our main users but difficult to collect. The Commission contribution will, following a call for proposals, take the form of grants awarded on the basis of grant applications submitted by Member States in advance, which will include estimated cost statement. According to Article 2 of Council Regulation (CE) No 322/97 on Community Statistics national authorities shall mean national statistical institutes and other bodies responsible in each Member States for producing Community statistics. Commitments of 4.950 € million have been foreseen for the year 2007-2009 to co-finance pilot studies.No technical and administrative assistance and support expenditure is foreseen. Existing human resources will be reallocated for the management and the needs of the programme, no other sources are necessary. Work by Eurostat to develop and document the Community methodology and to process, analyse and disseminate data will be covered in full. Additional costs are expected to be marginal. |Additional information |Simulation, pilot phase and transitory period |There was or there will be a simulation or a pilot phase for the proposal. |There was or there will be a transitory period for the proposal. |Simplification |The proposal provides for simplification of legislation. |25 variables have been dropped from the regulation. The regulation has been reorganised to cover the necessary data needs and the structure of the different annexes has been made similar. Legal streamlining, especially as regards the use of implementing powers has been performed. The extent and use of Comitology has been comprehensively and exhaustively listed and cross-referenced throughout the text, whenever necessary to ensure clarity. |Repeal of existing legislationThe adoption of the proposal will lead to the repeal of existing legislation. |RecastingThe proposal involves recasting |European Economic AreaThe proposed act concerns an EEA matter and should therefore extend to the European Economic Area. ||58/97 recast (adapted)2006/0020 (COD)Proposal for aREGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCILconcerning structural business statistics(Text with EEA relevance)THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 213 285(1) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission [1],Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee [2],Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty,Whereas:(new)(1) Council Regulation (EC, EURATOM) No 58/97 of 20 December 1996 concerning structural business statistics [3] has been substantially amended several times [4]. Since further amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interests of clarity.(2) Regulation (EC, EURATOM) No 58/97 established a common framework for the collection, compilation, transmission and evaluation of Community statistics on the structure, activity, competitiveness and performance of businesses in the Community.58/97 recital 1(1) Whereas in its resolution of 14 November 1989 on internal trade in the context of the internal market [5] the Council requested the Commission in particular to improve trade statistics by making them compatible with Community definitions and increasing, as far as necessary, the supply of such statistics to the Statistical Office of the European Communities;58/97 recital 2(2) Whereas in Decision 92/326/EEC [6] the Council adopted a two-year programme (1992 to 1993) for the development of European statistics on services; whereas this programme includes the compilation of harmonized statistics at national and regional levels, particularly for the distributive trades;58/97 recital 3(3) Whereas in its Directive 78/660/EEC of 25 July 1978 based on Article 54 (3) (g) of the Treaty on the annual accounts of certain types of companies [7] the Council adopted measures to improve the coordination of national provisions concerning the presentation and content of annual accounts and annual reports, the valuation methods used therein and their publication in respect of certain types of company.58/97 recital 4(4) Whereas the Community has, in the mean time, made substantial progress towards integration. New economic, competition, social, environmental and enterprise policies and guidelines call for initiatives and decisions based on valid statistics. The information provided for under existing Community legislation or available in Member States is insufficient, inadequate or insufficiently comparable to serve as a reliable basis for the work of the Commission.(new)(3) Decision No 2367/2002/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 16 December 2002 on the Community statistical programme 2003 to 2007 [8]5 adopted the programme to be guided by the principal Community policy priorities of economic and monetary union, European Union enlargement and competitiveness, regional policy, sustainable development and the social agenda. Statistics on the economic activity of enterprises form an essential part of this programme.(4) The regulation should provide for the continuation of existing statistical support for decisions in current policy areas and to satisfy the additional requirements arising from new Community policy initiatives, and from the ongoing review of statistical priorities and of the relevance of the statistics produced, with a view to making best use of available resources and minimising response burden.58/97 recital 5(5) Whereas by its Decision 93/379/EEC [9] the Council adopted a multiannual programme of Community measures to intensify the priority areas and to ensure the continuity and consolidation of policy for enterprise, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises, in the Community; whereas statistics are needed to assess the impact of the measures undertaken to achieve the objectives laid down in the Decision, in particular to have statistics which are comparable for businesses of all sectors, statistics on the national and international subcontracting relations between businesses and improved statistics on small and medium-sized enterprises; whereas these needs must not lead to the imposition of unreasonably onerous reporting requirements on small and medium-sized enterprises;58/97 recital 6(6) Whereas in its Decision 93/464/EEC [10] the Council adopted a framework programme for priority actions in the field of statistical information for 1993 to 1997;58/97 recital 7(7) Whereas there is a need for statistics on business conduct, in particular concerning research, development and innovation, environmental protection, investment, eco-industries, tourism and high-technology industries. The development of the Community and the operation of the internal market increase the need for comparable data on the structure of earnings of employees, the cost of labour and on training.58/97 recital 8(8) Whereas there is a need for complete and reliable statistical sources in order to enable a correct application of Council Directive 89/130/EEC, Euratom of 13 February 1989 on the harmonization of the compilation of the gross national product at market prices [11].58/97 recital 9(9) Whereas the compilation of national and regional accounts according to the European system of integrated economic accounts (ESA [12]) requires the development of comparable, complete and reliable statistical sources.58/97 recital 10(10) Whereas there is a need for regional indicators and accounts.58/97 recital 11(11) Whereas, in order to carry out the tasks entrusted to it under the Treaties, especially with regard to the internal market, the Commission must have exhaustive, up-to-date, reliable and comparable information on the structure, activity, competitiveness and performance of enterprises in the Community.58/97 recital 12(12) Whereas standardization is required to meet Community needs for information concerning economic convergence.58/97 recital 13(13) Whereas businesses and their professional associations need such information in order to understand their markets and to compare their activity and performance with those of their competitors, at regional, national and international level.58/97 recital 14(14) Whereas the creation of common statistical standards that permit the production of harmonized data is an action which can only be undertaken efficiently at Community level. Such standards will be implemented in each Member State under the authority of the bodies and institutions in charge of compiling official statistics.58/97 recital 15(15) Whereas the best method of ascertaining the structure, activity, competitiveness and performance of enterprises in the Community consists in compiling statistics in accordance with common methodological principles and common definitions of characteristics. It is only from coordinated compilation that harmonized statistics can be drawn up with reliability, speed, flexibility and the level of detail required to meet the needs of the Commission and of enterprises.58/97 recital 16(16) Whereas the definition of kind-of-activity units (KAU) [13] corresponds to one or more operational subdivisions of the enterprise. For a KAU to be observable, the enterprise's information system must be capable of indicating or calculating for each KAU at least the value of production, intermediate consumption, manpower costs, the operating surplus and employment and gross fixed capital formation. KAUs falling within a particular heading in the statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community [14] (NACE REV. 1) can produce products outside the homogeneous group, on account of secondary activities connected with them which cannot be separately identified from available accounting documents. It can be concluded that the enterprise and the KAU are indentical when it proves impossible for an enterprise to indicate or calculate information on all of the variables listed in this recital for one or more operational subdivisions;58/97 recital 17(17) Whereas the statistical data compiled within a Community system must be of a satisfactory quality and this quality, as well as the burden it entails, must be comparable from one Member State to another. It is therefore necessary to establish jointly the criteria enabling these requirements to be met.58/97 recital 18(18) Whereas it is necessary to simplify the administrative procedures for enterprises, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, including the promotion of new technologies for data collection and compilation of statistics. It may still be necessary to collect directly from enterprises the data necessary to compile structural business statistics, using methods and techniques which will ensure that they are exhaustive, reliable and up to date, without giving rise for the parties concerned, in particular for small and medium-sized enterprises, to a burden which is disproportionate in relation to the results which users of the statistics can reasonably expect.58/97 recital 19(19) Whereas the signing of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) has led to a substantial need for information on the size of the signatories' markets and their shares of those markets for the purpose of managing and developing that Agreement;58/97 recital 20(20) It is necessary to have a legal framework common to all business activities and domains of business statistics covering also the activities and domains for which statistics are not yet developed.58/97 recital 21(21) Whereas Directive No 64/475/EEC [15] and Directive No 72/221/EEC [16], which aimed to provide a body of coherent statistics, have not been able to take account of economic and technical changes that have occurred since their adoption and should therefore be repealed;58/97 recital 22(22) Whereas, in order to enable the rules for the collection and statistical processing of data and for processing and transmission of the results to be clarified further, it is necessary to confer on the Commission, assisted by the Statistical Programme Committee set up by Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom [17], the power to adopt measures for the application of this Regulation.(new)(5) There is an increasing need for data on services, in particular business services. Statistics are needed for the economic analysis and policy formulation on what is the most dynamic sector of modern economies, especially, in terms of its potential for growth and employment creation. The Lisbon European Council meeting in March 2000 highlighted the importance of services. The measurement of turnover broken down to detailed service products is a necessary prerequisite for a true understanding of the services’ role in the economy. The Stockholm European Council meeting in March 2001 concluded that the creation of effectively functioning internal markets for services is one of Europe’s highest priorities. Statistics by detailed service products on cross-border trade are essential to the monitoring of the functioning of internal markets for services, the evaluation of the competitiveness of services and the assessment of the impact of barriers on trade in service.(6) There is a need for data on business demography, in particular as they are an element of the Structural Indicators, established for monitoring the achievements concerning the goals set by the Lisbon Strategy. In addition, harmonised data on business demography and their respective impact on employment are necessary to substantiate policy recommendations for the support of entrepreneurship.(7) There is a need for a flexible tool within the statistical framework which can respond in a quick and timely manner to emerging user needs resulting from the increasingly dynamic, innovative and complex characteristics of the knowledge-based economy. Linking such ad hoc data collections with the ongoing collection of Structural Business Statistics data brings value added to the information gathered in both surveys and can reduce the total burden on respondents by avoiding duplication of data collection.(8) It is necessary to provide for a procedure for the adoption of measures for the implementation of this Regulation in order to enable the rules for the collection and statistical processing of data and for processing and transmission of the results to be clarified further.(9) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission [18]6.(10) If the Commission, on the basis of the evaluation of pilot studies concerning non-market activities in Sections M to O of NACE Rev. 1.1, according to Annex I, Section 10, paragraph 1, and Annex IX, Section 12, deems it necessary to expand the current scope of this Regulation it should make a proposal in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty.(11) Since the objectives of the action to be taken, namely to provide harmonised data on the structure, activity, competitiveness and performance of businesses in the Community, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scale and effects of the action, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.58/97 (adapted)HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:Article 1Subject matterThe objective of tThis Regulation shall be to establish establishes a common framework for the collection, compilation, transmission and evaluation of Community statistics on the structure, activity, competitiveness and performance of businesses in the Community.Article 258/97The compilation of statistics shall have as its purpose, in particular, to analyse:(i)(a) the structure and evolution of the activities of businesses;(ii)(b) the factors of production used and other elements allowing business activity, performance and competitiveness to be measured;(iii)(c) the regional, national, Community and international development of businesses and markets;(iv)(d) business conduct;(v)(e) small and medium-sized enterprises;58/97 (adapted)(vi)(f) specific characteristics of enterprises related to particular groupings breakdown of activities.Article 2 3Scope1.

CHARACTERISTICS AND OBJECTIVES5.1 Need to be met in the short or long termThis codified/recast version of the Council and the European Parliament Regulation aims at adjusting the available data on the structure, activity, competitiveness and performance of businesses in the Community to the new Community policy needs.5.2 Value-added of Community involvement and coherence of the proposal with other financial instruments and possible synergyCommunity legislation of structural business statistics is needed to set common statistical standards for data, with a high degree of comparability between data collected in different Member States. Such comparability is requested by all users, not only at Community level, but also within Member States. The regulation defines a set of relevant statistical data to ensure the comparability of the statistics. This is essential, for the calculation of EU aggregates, which are in great demand by users. The likely impact of a continuation of the existing situation can be the lack of information needed by the users. In order to carry out the tasks entrusted to it under the Treaties, especially with regard to the internal market, the Commission must have adequate, meaningful, up-to-date, reliable and comparable structural business statistics.5.3 Objectives, expected results and related indicators of the proposal in the context of the ABM frameworkThe objective for the amendment is to put services on equal footing with manufacturing, to provide data on business demography and a flexible tool to make ad hoc surveys to respond to user needs.The feasibility of collecting harmonised statistical information– for activities under Sections M to O of NACE REV. 1.1 (Annex I, section 10, paragraph 1),– for characteristics relating to financial accounts, intangible investments and forms of organising the production system (Annex I, section 10, paragraph 2),– for environmental characteristics and subcontracting in industry (Annex II, section 9),– for information on derivatives and off-balance sheet items, information on the distribution networks, and information broken down to prices and volumes for credit institutions (Annex VI, section 9),– for information on cross-border activities of pensions funds, information on non-autonomous pension funds and information on derivatives and off-balance sheet items for pensions funds (Annex VII, section 9),– for data using the local unit as the statistical unit, activities under Sections M to O of NACE REV. 1.1 and demographic characteristics other than enterprise births, survivals and deaths for business demography (Annex IX, section 12)shall be tested via pilot studies.The information is needed for drawing up, monitoring and evaluating Community policies, in particular concerning the internal market as well as enterprise, economic, financial, employment and information society policies5.4 Method of Implementation (indicative)Show below the method(s) [38] chosen for the implementation of the action.ٱ Centralised Management Directly by the Commission6. MONITORING AND EVALUATION6.1 Monitoring systemThe Commission shall - according to article 13 of the proposed regulation - submit a report to the European Parliament and the Council on the statistics compiled pursuant to this Regulation and in particular on their quality and the burden on businesses. In this report the Commission shall take into account the outcome of the pilot studies and propose amendments if necessary.6.2 Evaluation6.2.1 Ex-ante evaluationThe feasibility of collecting the data, taking into account the benefits of the availability of the data in relation to the costs of collection and the burden of businesses was tested for the new modules on business services (Annex VIII) and business demography (Annex IX) in pilot studies on a voluntary basis.The legal basis for the pilot studies was Annex I Section 10 of Council Regulation No 58/97 of 20 December 1996 concerning structural business statistics. The pilot studies have proven that the data collection is possible. It has been shown convincingly that the data can be collected, that the statistics can be produced in a cost-effective way, and that the results are of great interest to users inside and outside the European Commission.Several publications presenting the results of the data collection so far have been produced. Detailed publications on business demography and business services and several Statistics in Focus have been published. Data are also available in Eurostat’s free database, Theme Industry, Trade and Services, Domain Structural Business Statistics.The main limitation is the lack of coverage of all Member States. For Community policies, in particular to evaluate the functioning of the Internal Market, it is essential to have data for all EU Member States.The benefits of the availability of the data have been measured against the costs of collection and the burden on businesses for the pilot studies. The burden on businesses was difficult to quantify, because there are limited data existing in the Member States quantifying it. However, the information to be collected is also needed in Member States. The amendment proposal brings about simplifications and alleviations to burden in order to balance to the new requirements. Several characteristics have been deleted from Annexes I to IV. The Business Demography is made of existing data and does not imply a significant additional burden on national authorities and businesses.The implementation of new statistics always involves set-up costs as well as costs for the research and development of the data process in the implementation phase. For the pilot studies carried out the Commission contributed financial support to help cover the costs of the Member States. The recast regulation is a response to high needs expressed by Commission Directorates-General.The benefits are also difficult to quantify in figures. However, in the past few years the Member States and Eurostat have registered a growth in the number of requests for new information from international organisations, as well as from economists, banks, academics and other statistical offices.6.2.2 Measures taken following an intermediate/ex-post evaluation (lessons learned from similar experiences in the past)According to article 13 of the proposed regulation it is envisaged that a report on the implementation of this regulation shall be submitted within three years of the entry into force of the regulation, to the European Parliament and the Council. In particular on the burden on their businesses.6.2.3 Terms and frequency of future evaluationThe first report shall be prepared within three years after the data of entry into force of this Regulation and again every three years thereafter.7. ANTI-FRAUD MEASURESA revised system of internal management and control was put in place following the Commission’s Reform initiative on financial management. This system included a reinforced internal audit capacity.Annual monitoring of progress with implementation of the Commission’s Internal Control standards is designed to give assurance on the existence and functioning of procedures for prevention and detection of fraud and irregularities.New rules and procedures have been adopted for the principal budgetary process: calls for tenders, grants, commitments, contracts and payments.
