REGULATION (EU) 2020/851 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 18 June 2020
amending Regulation (EC) No 862/2007 on Community statistics on migration and international protection
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 338(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (1),
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 862/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) establishes a common and comparable legal framework for European statistics on migration and international protection. |
(2) |
To respond to new needs within the Union for statistics on migration and international protection, and due to the fact that the characteristics of migration are subject to rapid change, there is a need to establish a framework that allows for a quick response to changing needs as regards statistics on migration and international protection. |
(3) |
In order to support the Union in responding effectively to the challenges posed by migration and in developing human-rights-based policies, it is necessary to collect data on migration and international protection on a sub-annual basis. |
(4) |
Statistics on migration and international protection are fundamental for the study, formulation and evaluation of a wide range of policies, particularly as regards responses to the arrival of persons seeking protection in Europe, with the aim of defining and applying the best policies. |
(5) |
Statistics on migration and international protection are essential for having an overview of migratory movements within the Union and for Member States to be able to apply Union law properly in accordance with fundamental rights as laid down in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (the ‘Charter’) and the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. |
(6) |
In order to ensure the quality and, in particular, the comparability of data provided by the Member States, and in order for reliable overviews to be drawn up at Union level, the data used should be based on the same concepts, and should refer to the same reference date or period. |
(7) |
Data provided on migration and international protection should be consistent with the relevant statistics collected pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 862/2007. |
(8) |
Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) provides a reference framework for European statistics on migration and international protection. In particular, it requires Member States to comply with the principles of professional independence, impartiality, objectivity, reliability, statistical confidentiality and cost effectiveness, as well as with the quality criteria specified therein. |
(9) |
Quality reports are essential for assessing, improving and communicating on the quality of European statistics. The European Statistical System Committee has endorsed a European Statistical System (ESS) standard for Quality Reports Structure in accordance with the provision on statistical quality laid down in Regulation (EC) No 223/2009. That ESS standard should contribute to the harmonisation of quality reporting under Regulation (EC) No 862/2007. |
