Amendment to Regulation (EU) No 99/2013 on the European statistical programme 2013-17, by extending it to 2018-2020

This procedure aims to extend the existing European statistical programme, originally set for 2013-2017, to cover the period from 2018 to 2020. It ensures that the EU continues to have a structured framework for collecting and analyzing data, which is essential for evidence-based policymaking and monitoring EU goals.

This affects national statistical institutes and EU bodies responsible for data collection. It ensures continuity in how statistics are gathered across member states without requiring a completely new legislative framework.
