Item 3.2 COMPLIANCE MONITORING

EUROPEAN COMMISSION EUROSTAT Directorate F: Social statistics Doc. Eurostat/F/14/DSS/01/3.2 EN Corrected version 27.3.2014 Item 3.2 COMPLIANCE MONITORING MEETING OF THE EUROPEAN DIRECTORS OF SOCIAL STATISTICS LUEMBOURG, 3 4 APRIL 2014 BECH BUILDING, ROOM QUETELET

Note: Table for Reg. 88/2011 in page 8 was corrected 27.3.2014 One of the main roles of the Commission is to ensure that Member States comply with Community legislation. This document shows the situation with respect to the legislative acts in the area of social statistics, using the information as of 1 March 2014. For some of the regulations in the social fields, it is impossible to make an evaluation for the time being as the data are to be transmitted to Eurostat later in the year. This concerns: Regulation (EC) N 862/2007(Articles 4 to 7) as regards Asylum, EIL, Residence Permits data collections; Regulation (EC) N 763/2008 on population and housing census Council regulation (EC) No 530/1999 concerning structural statistics on earnings and labour costs as regards labour costs whose data are to be transmitted by June 2014. It is also to be noted to there will be no compliance monitoring this year for regulation N 1260/2013 (regulation on European demographic statistics). For the other regulations, a detailed description of the situation is described in the tables provided in anne. Table 1 below gives a synthetic view of the situation of each country for each regulation. Overall, compliance with legislation in terms of timeliness, quality and completeness can be considered from satisfactory to good for most regulations, and there have been significant improvements over recent years. However, as indicated in table1, there are some cases where further effort is needed or there is a risk that Eurostat will send a compliance monitoring letter in autumn 2014. The intention is not to discuss detailed issues concerning the tables during the DSS meeting, unless there are factual mistakes, but rather to provide a general overview. Eurostat plans to contact bilaterally those countries not fulfilling the legislation in order to discuss how to bring the situation closer to compliance.

Compliance overview for regulation 577/98 - Labour Force Survey 05 March 2014 Overall, compliance with regulation 577/98 (and implementing legal acts) in terms of timeliness, quality and completeness can be considered satisfactory to good. Basically all quarterly, yearly, ad-hoc-module and household datasets are transmitted in time, and quality and completeness improved further over recent years and are generally sufficient. Additional efficiency gains could be reached if all countries would use the SAS validation routines distributed by Eurostat prior to delivery of data, as it is the case for all but one country concerning EU-SILC. However, there are few open issues of higher importance: Timeliness issues: France: Following survey changes at national level, French data for 2013Q1 has been transmitted with a delay of 12 weeks. Iceland: No usable 2013Q3 dataset transmitted by now. Delay: more than 10 weeks, still pending. Completeness issues: a) Geographical coverage: France: until now a quarterly continuous LFS eists for France Metropolitaine only, whereas DOM data are still based on an incomparable annual survey in spring. In the DOMs (ecept Mayotte), a quarterly continuous survey in line with regulation 577/98 is currently being implemented, and quarterly data transmission of DOM data to Eurostat should finally start with 2014 Q1 data. b) Household data: In Nordic countries, the sampling unit of the LFS is the individual and not the household. In this situation, in line with article 2(4) of regulation 577/98, sub-sampling of household data is possible. Open issues in this respect are: Denmark: data of the household sub-sample allow calculation of household statistics, but the household sub-sample does not fully cover the ad-hoc-module (sub-) sample (as requested in anne 1(4) of implementing regulation 377/2008). In consequence, a combined analysis of household data and ad-hoc-module information is impossible (only eception: 2010 module for which Denmark provided at least register-based household information). Sweden: data of the household sub-sample allow calculation of household statistics, but the household sub-sample does not cover the ad-hoc-module (sub-) sample at all (as requested in anne 1(4) of implementing regulation 377/2008). In consequence, a combined analysis of household data and ad-hoc-module information is impossible. Norway: data for core family members only; since 2013 also including children below 15. Iceland: no delivery of household data yet. Commitment to deliver household data from reference year 2012 onwards in the contet of an action plan set up following a non-compliance letter from Eurostat in March 2010. No information on project status provided during the last months.
