Yesterday, we had the pleasure to welcome Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis to Eurostat. His visit was an invaluable opportunity to exchange ideas and reflect on the pivotal role our work plays in shaping the EU's policies. Commissioner Dombrovskis emphasized the importance of relevant, high-quality, and trustworthy European statistics in informing the EU's economic strategies, policy development, and fight against disinformation. We're proud to serve as the foundation for evidence-based policymaking across a wide range of areas – from economic indicators to environmental accounts, and much more. The insightful Q&A session further underscored the invaluable contributions our team makes to the EU’s key political priorities, including defense investments, housing, industrial policy, and beyond. The Commissioner’s commitment to safeguarding our independence and continuously enhancing our capabilities aligns perfectly with our mission and our strategic goal to remain a trustworthy reference point for statistics and data on Europe. It inspires us to further innovate and excel in our work. Thank you, Commissioner Dombrovskis, for your support and trust in Eurostat! #EuropeanStatistics #OfficialStatistics
