"Mr President, in these times of austerity, the Commission is rationalising as well.
Mr Simpson, as rapporteur you said that this is a technical report, and it is indeed, but nevertheless it is an important one. The purpose of the proposal from the Commission was to update and optimise the existing legal framework for European statistics on tourism. Both producers and users of tourism statistics have requested this adjustment. So the ultimate aim is to provide monthly and annual European statistics on tourism supply and demand using a common framework.
The proposal is very well balanced in terms of data needs and the burden put on respondents and administrators. To achieve this, permission has been included to collect some parts of the data on an optional basis or every third year, to defer the entry into force of certain provisions to a later stage, and to exclude the smallest enterprises.
Following an informal trialogue held on 12 January 2011 and further discussions, as you mentioned, rapporteur, a compromise text was agreed between Parliament and the Council. In particular, the Council agreed to an additional demand from Parliament of having the variable concerning the accessibility of tourist accommodation for persons with reduced mobility included in the regulation.
All amendments in the report and the compromise text are acceptable to the Commission. Therefore, I would like to thank you, Mr Simpson, and the shadow rapporteurs and the members of the Committee on Transport and Tourism for your constructive work on the proposal. Following fruitful cooperation between all three institutions, I believe that we have now reached our objective, which is the establishment of a common framework for the systematic development, production and dissemination of European statistics on tourism."@en1
