1. 1 HLG-BAS workshop Session III Questionnaire responses of the HLG-BAS related groups A. Born / A. Götzfried / J.M. Museux

2. 2 Preparatory questionnaires were sent to all groups/committees related to the HLG-BAS in October 2011; These groups are subdivided in three categories: –CES groups: MSIS, METIS, etc. –ESS groups: ITDG, DIME, Sponsorship groups, etc. –Other groups such as Statistical Network, SDMX groups, OECD groups etc. The HLG-BAS itself reports to the Conference of European Statisticians. The background

4. 4 The questions asked to the groups were: What are the current priorities of the group ? How do you expect the priorities to change in the next 3 years? To what extent do you think the current priorities of this group are consistent with the HLG-BAS Strategic vision (regarding statistical processes and products)? How do you think the planned future activities of this group can contribute to the implementation of the HLG-BAS vision (regarding statistical processes and products)? Please identify up to three new areas of work which your group could take on to contribute to the implementation of the HLG-BAS Strategic Vision. Which phase(s) of the GSBPM are most closely related to the activities of this group? Which other international expert groups does this group have links to? (e.g. formal links to parent and subsidiary groups, and informal links to other expert groups working on related topics) The « HLG-BAS questionnaire »
