European Statistical System

The European Statistical System (ESS) is a coordinated network of organizations in Europe responsible for collecting, producing, and sharing reliable statistical information about the economy, society, and environment. It includes Eurostat, the European Union’s statistical office, and national statistical institutes of member countries. The ESS ensures that data is consistent, comparable, and high-quality across Europe, supporting policy-making, research, and public understanding. Essentially, it provides accurate facts and figures that help governments, businesses, and citizens make informed decisions about the continent’s development and well-being.
