27/11/2006 (Agence Europe) - On Tuesday the Ecofin Council will also adopt conclusions on the Commission's communication on reducing the paperwork involved in responding, simplifying and setting out priorities in the field of statistics. Ministers are also expected to point out that despite a relatively low administrative load, the overall statistical load has not ceased to increase despite initiatives launched over recent years to revise priorities and reduce demands in less important areas. Ministers are therefore calling for the implementation of detailed measures in the communication, such as simplification of the Intrasat system, which allows for data collection on intra-Community trade.
