Quality report on National and Regional Accounts — 2016 data

This document presents the Eurostat’s assessment of quality of national and regional accounts for the year 2016 transmitted by the EU Member States, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland as well as quality information on own publications of European aggregates. The quality assessment was carried out in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 and represents the first assessment since the start of data transmission according to the European System of Accounts (ESA 2010) on 1 September 2014. Data transmitted in 2016 were in broad terms in line with the ESS quality standards and the ESA 2010 requirements. Many Member States coped relatively well with the new data requirements and methodology even if the process of adaptation of national data compilation system continues by 2020. [+]

The European Quality of Government Index (EQI), 2017 edition

The European Quality of Government Index (EQI), 2017 edition, developed by the Quality of Government Institute of Gothenburg University, is the only measure of institutional quality available at the regional level in the European Union. Institutional quality is defined as a multi-dimensional concept consisting of high impartiality and quality of public service delivery, along with low corruption. Funded by the European Commission in 2010 and then again in 2013 and 2017, the EQI aims at capturing average citizens’ perceptions and experiences with corruption, and the extent to which they rate their public services as impartial and of good quality in their region of residence.
Three editions of the index are now available to show improvement or decline over time. Although a relatively stability in quality of government can be noted across the three editions, the old dividing lines in quality of government, between Northern and Southern Europe but also between Western and Eastern Europe, seem to be slowly blurring. Divergences in quality of government are not as stark in 2017 as they were in 2010. [+]

El agua de las playas, ríos y lagos europeos fue en general de gran calidad en 2013, ya que más del 95 % de esas zonas reunía los requisitos mínimos. Los datos indican que las aguas de baño costeras obtuvieron resultados ligeramente mejores que las aguas de baño interiores.
Todas las zonas de baño de Chipre y Luxemburgo obtuvieron la calificación de «excelentes». A continuación figuran Malta (un 99 % calificado de excelente), Croacia (95 %) y Grecia (93 %). En el otro extremo, los Estados miembros de la Unión Europea con la mayor proporción de zonas de calidad «insuficiente» fueron Estonia (6 %), los Países Bajos (5 %), Bélgica (4 %), Francia (3 %), España (3 %) e Irlanda (3 %).
El informe anual sobre la calidad de las aguas de baño de la Agencia Europea de Medio Ambiente (AEMA) realiza un seguimiento de la calidad del agua en 22 000 zonas de baño de la UE, Suiza y, por primera vez, Albania. Junto con el informe, la AEMA ha publicado un mapa interactivo en el que se muestran los resultados de cada una de las zonas de baño en 2013. (RAPID, IP/14/603, 27.5.2014)
