The scenario of official statistics n Building up until the beginning of the XXI century (Lisbon process; EMU statistical requirements too little – too late). n Saturation point now (response burden, budget cuts) - while statistical demand keeps growing. n Slow response to accelerating change. n Challenges on data security, confidentiality, privacy. n Slow adaptation to new drivers (large datasets, computing power, merging files, automated data capture, integrated processes, new sources…). n Less control of the concepts in the sources. n Limited exploitation of research results. Risk of losing market share 18 – 20 February 2009 NTTS Conference
