Peer Review
Peer reviews are an important element of the European Statistics System’s strategy and their purpose is to ensure that the Code of Practice is applied so as to improve the integrity, impartiality and responsibility of statistical services. A first cycle of these reviews took place in 2006-2008, followed by a second in 2014/2015 and a third in 2021-2023. EU and EFTA (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland) member states all took part.
