The Statistical Office informs that the Council of Ministers, exercising the powers granted to it by Article 8 of the Law on Official Statistics of 2021 (Law 25(I)/2021), decided at its meeting of 8 February 2023 to approve the Multiannual Programme of Statistical Activities, covering the period 2023-2027.
The Programme includes the surveys and other work planned to be carried out by the Statistical Office and other national authorities (i.e. the ministries, departments and agencies of the Republic or legal persons under public law responsible for the development, production and dissemination of European statistics) during this five-year period. For each activity a brief description is given of its purpose, the legal framework under which it is carried out, the frequency with which it is carried out, the method of data collection, the deadline for submitting the data to Eurostat and the timeframe within which the results are disseminated. An estimate is also given, by theme, of the expenditure planned for the implementation of the programme.
On the basis of this multiannual programme, the Statistical Office also prepares annual programmes of statistical activities, which provide more information on each survey/task and detailed timetables for the individual stages of implementation.
The surveys carried out concern economic, demographic, social, environmental and agricultural issues. Some of the surveys - in addition to the usual annual, quarterly or monthly surveys - to be carried out during this period are indicated below:
Earnings Survey (2023 & 2027), Labour Cost Survey (2025), Adult Education Survey (2023), Household Health Survey (2025), Family Budget Survey (2023 & 2026), Farm and Livestock Structure Survey (2023 & 2026), etc.It is worth noting that about 90% of the activities foreseen in the Programme stem from obligations defined in the EU statistical acquis and are carried out in all Member States on the basis of uniform standards and harmonised methods.
The Programme was put out to public consultation in October - November 2022 and subsequently communicated to the Statistical Council. The comments and suggestions made were taken into account, as far as possible, in the preparation of the final version of the Programme.
The Multiannual Programme of Statistical Activities 2023-2027 is available on the web portal of the Statistical Service .
