     About todays webinar
     My wishes:
     1. to convince you that the creation of a global statistical business register 
      based on interacting national business registers is crucial for producing 
      relevant, trustful and consistent statistics;
     2. by sharing my knowledge and experience, it enables you to organise 
      effective and efficient cooperation/interaction between the Commission 
      and national statistical offices and to create such a system of 
      interoperable registers against less costs and quicker than in case of the 
      EU; my advise this opportunity;
     3. to stay realistic: the available time for this webinar is too short to go in 
      too much detail and/or to answer all questions. 
     My offer: questions which can’t be sufficiently answered during this 
     summary and/or questions coming-up in the coming 3 months will be 
     collected by the Eurasian Economic Commission and communicated to me. I 
     am prepared, using my knowledge/expertise,  to answer these questions in 
     written form (or via video meetings) under the present agreement timely.

    Legal framework EGR
    Regulation (EC) No 177/2008 of the European Parliament and of the 
    Council of 20 February 2008 establishing a common framework for 
    business registers for statistical purposes and repealing Council 
    Regulation (EEC) No 2186/93  
    'Increasing economic globalisation challenges the current 
    production of several statistics. By recording data from 
    multinational enterprise groups, business registers form a basic 
    tool for the improvement of many statistics related to 
    globalisation: international trade in goods and services, balance 
    of payments, foreign direct investment, foreign affiliates, 
    research, development and innovation, and the international 
    labour market. The majority of these statistics cover the whole 
    economy and thus require that business registers cover all 
    sectors of the economy.'
