Danish Presidency of the EU Council Working Party on Statistics

Welcome!

The Danish Presidency of the Council of the European Union begins on July 1st, 2025.

The Presidency Team at Statistics Denmark is committed to lead the work in the Council Working Party on Statistics and to make progress in the adoption of the pending legislative dossiers. We aim to build on the achievements of previous presidencies and further strengthen the joint efforts.

We are committed to pursuing the objectives of the Trio Program and aligning with the priorities of the Danish Presidency. Our goal is to ensure the production of high-quality, accurate, relevant, and cost-effective European statistics in accordance with the European Statistics Code of Practice, while also striving to minimize the response burden for enterprises in Europe and the costs for the Member States.

2025 also marks the 175th anniversary for Statistics Denmark - a milestone that reflects our long-standing dedication to advancing independent official statistics and supporting informed democratic decision-making, independent research and public debate. I invite you to view our anniversary video below, created to celebrate this occasion.

Throughout the Presidency, we will regularly update this website with information about progress and developments related to pending legal acts.

Warm regards,
Martin Ulrik Jensen
Director General, Statistics Denmark
