Statistical requirements compendium - 2008 edition

The Statistical Requirements Compendium is a well-established reference document for the acquis communautaire in statistics. The Compendium is a tool for producers of official statistics, which summarises the key reference information for European statistical production. The structure of the 2008 edition of the Compendium generally follows the annual Statistical Work Programme of the Commission for 2008 which was adopted on the basis of the new multiannual Community Statistical Programme 2008 to 2012. Compared to the Statistical Work Programme of the Commission for 2007 which was the basis for the 2007 edition of the Compendium, the 2008 Statistical Work Programme introduces a new numbering system and a new structure of themes and modules.
