Statistical Council

The Statistical Council is a professional advisory body for strategic and development questions of national statistics and the highest representative of users and the professional public. The Council provides advice to the executive function of the national statistics and reinforces the national statistics independence. Even though its role is of advisory nature, it has to be very much respected due to the high authority of the members of the council.

Members of the Statistical Council are from the National Assembly, the National Council and the Government of the Republic of Slovenia, the Bank of Slovenia, the Economic and Social Council, the Judicial Council of the Republic of Slovenia, the Statistical Society of Slovenia and statistical experts and representatives from SORS. The current president of the council is Dr Anuška Ferligoj. Director-General of SORS can not be the president of the Statistical Council.

Main tasks of the Statistical Council are: to discuss and adopt opinions about the medium-term and annual statistical programs of statistical surveys and its implementation; to discuss proposals of acts and other regulations; to propose the methodological bases, rationalisation and modernization of statistical surveys; to provide initiatives and proposals for international statistical co-operation; and to propose classifications which shall be used as national standards.
