15
Organisational aspects

  the Statistical Office should be reinforced
• The work programme should be presented to a
  meeting with users and providers to get broader
  approval.
• Attention should be paid to implement monitoring
  procedures in order to comply to the quality
  orientations of the European Statistical System.

16
Prioritisation of the work program

• business register up-dating system
• statistical databases to be developed with the
  high exploitation of administrative files
• more communication is needed with the data
  providers
• a better rationalisation of the surveys system

17
Legal aspects

• legal and regulatory framework on confidentiality
  must be reinforced
• the access for the Statistical Office to
  administrative micro-data files must be assured

18
Relationships with data providers

• Explore all the possible ways to reduce the
  response burden of data providers
• Establish the feedback system to the providers
  of data in order to improve the quality of
  statistics
• The provider relationship should be more
  communicative, indicating benefits for both
