EU legislation on the 2011 Population and Housing Censuses - Explanatory Notes


By Eurostat, 2011.

In the integrated European Union, national censuses are of greater value if their results can be compared
between Member States. This is why the European Union is taking steps to harmonise census outputs.
There were European census programmes for the 1980, 1990 and 2001 rounds. The framework set up at
European level for the 2011 round continues this work on a larger scale. The objective is to disseminate
more detailed data in a user-friendly way, and to make the date more comparable

For the 2011 censuses, EU-wide reporting will provide transparency about the quality of census outputs.
This can then become a basis for an informed discussion within the EU Member States and at European
level. It can foster best practice in census-taking and thus bring benefits to the dynamic evolution of
census methods and to the fundamental function censuses perform for demographic and other statistics.

The European Union’s legislation on population and housing censuses aims to achieve comprehensive
and flexible dissemination of census data, plus transparency about their quality. At the same time, it
respects the diversity of traditions and methods in the Member States. This publication describes and
explains the current legislation.
