CEIES
CEIES stands for Comité consultatif européen de l’informationstatistique dans les domaines économique et social; in English:‘The European Advisory Committee on Statistical Informationin the Economic and Social Spheres’. The committee was set up by Council Decision 91/116/EEC of25 February 1991. The original decision was amended byCouncil Decision 97/255/EC of 19 April 1997 taking intoaccount the accession of Austria, Finland and
Sweden.
The creation of CEIES was proposed by both Jacques Delors, then President of the European Commission, and Henning Christophersen, then Vice-President, during the seminar of April 1989 on the future of the European statistical system. Because of the changes which would take place in economic and social fields as a result of the European Single Act, the creation of a committee, which would reflect the opinion of the European society at large on Community statistics, was felt to be necessary.
The CEIES
has been replaced by the European Statistical Advisory
Committee.
