  This ‘statistical portrait’ 2019 edition presents a broad comparison between the situation of the European Union, including EFTA members and Candidate countries, and the African Union, and its member states. The publication is jointly produced by Eurostat and the Statistics Division of the African Union Commission (AUSTAT) on the basis of data from both organisations. With data up to and including the year 2017, this “portrait” includes various domains such as demography, health, education, national accounts, trade, and more. Tables in the eight chapters help the user to gain a detailed view on different aspects, such as mobile communication subscriptions, number of teachers, life expectancy, GDP, tourism, etc. An overview chapter is also included, presenting statistical comparisons with the rest of the world.

  This publication provides the information that data suppliers concerned with subnational statistics within the European Union (EU) need to ensure coherency and comparability. It also helps end-users to understand and interpret the wide range of official statistics that are available at a subnational level for different areas and regions of the EU. The publication marks an important milestone as it reflects legislative developments — through an initiative called Tercet — which integrated the most relevant territorial typologies into a consolidated and amended NUTS Regulation at the start of 2018.

  ESS guidelines on temporal disaggregation, benchmarking and reconciliation
  2018 edition

  In official statistics there is an increasing demand for indicators at a higher frequency than have traditionally been observed. Eurostat and the European statistical system (ESS) developed these guidelines to help data producers derive high frequency data (e.g. quarterly or monthly) from low frequency data (e.g. annual) and to address related temporal and accounting constraints. These guidelines are aimed at those involved in the production and analysis of infra-annual European statistics (compiled by Eurostat) and corresponding country specific official statistics compiled by national statistical institutes (NSIs). They have been conceived both for experts and beginners. In order to rank the different methods, each issue is discussed following a structure with three parts: a description (free text presenting the problem), a list of options (various possibilities to deal with the specific issue) and a list of ranked alternatives (A,B,C). Namely: (A) Best alternative: should always be the target for producers. (B) Acceptable alternative: retained only if time or resource issues prevent alternative (A). (C) Alternative to be avoided: not a recommended option. Being in line with these guidelines will ensure higher quality results, e.g. avoiding false signals and misinterpretation of the dynamics of the data.

  The ‘Power from Statistics’ initiative, jointly organised by Eurostat and the European Political Strategy Centre, aims to determine which topics will be relevant to decision makers and citizens in the future and how official statistics could best deliver information about them. As a first step, five thematic round table events were organised. Gathering expert participants from various stakeholder groups, the round tables covered trends in migration, globalisation, new economic and business models, sustainable development as well as statistics, science and society. The round table participants wrote altogether 28 articles. They contain their personal reflections and ideas on the future of European statistics. Together, the articles form the ‘Power from statistics outlook report’.
