Organization

The Statistical Supervisory Committee consists of six permanent members and six substitutes, including:

• three external members;
• three Commission members.

The General Director of Statistics and Economic Information service and the Data Protection Officer are members with an advisory vote.

In principle, the Committee meets at the Commission's offices monthly.

The Committee's President is in charge of daily management and chairs the meetings. He makes sure that the Committee's decisions do not contradict the Commission's position in general. That is why he can suspend a Committee case and submit it to the Commission.

One of the Commission's civil servants is in charge of the secretarial work of the Committee.

The Federal Public Service of Economy, SMEs, the Self-Employed and Energy (General Direction for Statistics and Economic Information) gives legal and technical advice, preparing the treatment of requests for the disclosure of data from the General Direction for Statistics and Economic Information. As provided for by law, the Federal Public Service of Economy, SMEs, the Self-Employed and Energy acts as the managing institution.

The Committee draws up an annual activity report.
