Publication Official Statistics Peer Reviews 2021 to 2023

Procedure for and evaluation of the peer review conducted in December 2021 at the Federal Statistical Office.

In 2021, the Federal Statistical Office participated for the third time in the peer review held at regular intervals by the Statistical Office of the European Union. This is an important procedure which harmonises and ensures the quality of the official statistics processes in the European Statistical System. It is applied in all European Union Member States and in the countries of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA). In the peer review, an independent expert team examines how the European Statistics Code of Practice is implemented in the national statistical institutes and then prepares and submits a public report containing recommendations for further development. This article focuses on the recommendations given by the expert team for the German statistical system.
