There is a growing need for good statistics about migration and asylum across Europe. These statistics are needed to help develop and monitor policy, and to provide the citizen with unbiased information on this issue of increasing public interest. Although most EU Member States, Accession and Candidate Countries already collect statistics on these topics, differences in data sources and definitions may mean that the statistics for one country are not readily comparable with statistics from another.
The Action Plan includes measures to improve the quality, timeliness and comparability of these statistics and to ensure that information and analyses are available to all. Some of these measures - notably improved public availability of statistics and better co-ordination with relevant international organisations - are already being put in place. Other measures will be developed over the coming two years.
