THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having rgard 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 adminsitrative 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 surveys, 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 1987 of the surveys carried out in 1983, 1984, 1985 and 1986 will enable this information to be obtained,
