Presidency Program
Danish Presidency priorities
The Danish Presidency will build on the valuable progress made by previous presidencies. The main priorities will be guided by the 18-month Programme of the Presidency Trio. The Danish Presidency will continue the work of the Polish Presidency, taking into account also recent developments.
If not completed, the Danish Presidency will seek to finalize the following legislative dossier:
- Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on European commercial real estate indicators (CREI)
Additionally, the Danish Presidency is prepared to initiate proceedings on the following dossiers, depending on when they are put forward by the Commission:
- Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on European fishery statistics (EFAS)
- Amendment of Council Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 concerning the collection of statistical information by the European Central Bank
- European Statistical Programme (ESP)
Other regulations relevant to official European statistics will also be monitored.
Program of the Presidency Trio
The Poland, Denmark and Cyprus Presidency Trio will lead the EU Council Working Party on Statistics from 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2026. Poland starts in January 2025, then Denmark takes over from July to December 2025 and Cyprus completes the term from January to June 2026.
The Presidency Trio will collaborate closely with the European Statistical System members and with all other partners. Our plans will build on the work of previous Presidencies and aim to advance pending legislative files, including the proposals for the Regulation on fisheries and aquaculture statistics (EFAS) and the Regulation on commercial real estate indicators (CREI). The plan is flexible and will adjust to the situation and progress in specific areas.
The Trio's goal is to address diverse user needs and use of new data sources and technologies to ensure high-quality, accurate, relevant and cost-effective European statistics following the European Statistics Code of Practice while being attentive to minimizing response burden.
The Trio partners also intend to contribute to coherent implementation of the revised 223/2009 regulation on European statistics, which provides for the extension of provisions on statistical data sources being, at the same time, a ground for more efficient statistical production.
In addition, the Presidency Trio will strive to follow developments in negotiations of non-statistical files with elements related to statistics — with the aim to inform the statistical community and facilitate the elaboration of an adequate position, if necessary.
