Since 1947 the UN Statistical Commission has a guiding role in setting standards and outlining directions of the global statistical system. UNSC and Eurostat, as the EU statistical authority, together with the national statistical institutes, establish standards and methodological principles for the global statistical community. UNSC sessions are held once a year and their work programme covers different statistical domains, and provides room for consideration of methodological issues and discussions.
