COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 3621/87
of 1 December 1987
on the organization of a labour force sample survey in the Spring of 1988
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 213 thereof,
Having regard to the draft Regulation submitted by the Commission,
Whereas in order to carry out the tasks which are assigned to it by the Treaty, and in particular by Articles 2, 92, 117, 118, 122 and 123 thereof, the Commission must be acquainted with the situation and developments in employment and unemployment;
Whereas the statistical information available in each of the Member States does not provide a suitable basis for comparison, particularly because of the differences between the laws, rules and administrative practices of the Member States on which those statistics are based;
Whereas the best method of ascertaining the level and the structure of employment and unemployment consists in carrying out harmonized and synchronized Community labour force sample survey, as has been done regularly in the past;
Whereas in a period of continuing and increasing difficulties on the labour market and of structural changes in the employment sector, fully up-to-date information must be made available;
Whereas only the repetition in 1988 of the survey carried out in 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986 and 1987 will enable this information to be obtained.
