COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 141/2013
of 19 February 2013
implementing Regulation (EC) No 1338/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on Community statistics on public health and health and safety at work, as regards statistics based on the European Health Interview Survey (EHIS)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1338/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on Community statistics on public health and health and safety at work (1), and in particular Article 9(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 1338/2008 establishes a common framework for the systematic production of European statistics on public health and health and safety at work. |
(2) |
Pursuant to Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1338/2008, implementing measures are needed to specify the data and metadata to be provided on health status, health determinants and health care covered by Annex I to that Regulation and to set the reference periods and intervals for providing these data. |
(3) |
Those data represent a minimum statistical data set that should allow better monitoring of the Union’s health programmes and policies on social inclusion and social protection, health inequalities and healthy ageing. |
(4) |
Confidential data sent by Member States to the Commission (Eurostat) should be handled in accordance with the principle of statistical confidentiality as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2009 on European statistics (2) and with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (3). |
(5) |
A cost-benefit analysis has been carried out and evaluated in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1338/2008. It has demonstrated that the availability of comparable Union-wide data is likely to be of great benefit for health and social policy decisions and for scientific purposes, with the use of common tools allowing data consistency across countries, even though the related costs would vary depending on the degree of integration of the requested variables and methodology within existing national surveys. |
(6) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee, |
