Statistical requirements compendium – 2026 edition
The Statistical Requirements Compendium (SRC), published by Eurostat, serves as a reference document for the EU acquis in statistics. It summarises the key reference information for European statistical production, taking into account new legislation and other developments relevant for European statistics. The SRC also serves as the framework for conducting compliance monitoring of the enlargement countries (candidate countries and potential candidates) in the field of statistics. The 2026 edition of the SRC maintains the structure introduced in the 2024 edition, which was adapted to align with the revised Classification of Statistical Activities (CSA Rev. 2) adopted by the United Nations in 2023.
