Decisions on the planning and implementation of the European Community policies are based on reliable and comparable statistics. Therefore, the European Statistical System (ESS) has been established aimed at providing the comparable statistics at the European Union level. It represents the partnership between the European Community statistical authority, represented by Eurostat on behalf of the European Commission, and the national statistical institutes as well as other national authorities responsible in each Member State for the development, production and dissemination of the European statistics.
 
The European Statistical System (ESS) comprises the European Economic Area (EEA) countries (28 EU Member States, Lichtenstein and Norway as well as Switzerland, which is not the EEA member but its citizens, are granted equal rights as EEA countries) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries (Island, Lichtenstein, Norway and Switzerland).
 
The Member States collect data and compile the statistics for both national and EU purposes. The ESS functions as a network in which Eurostat’s role is to lead the way in the harmonisation of statistics in close cooperation with national statistical authorities.
