ii.play a consultative role with respect to major statistical projects of other OECD substantive committees in order to help them achieve their objectives in the most efficient way; in particular, identify, and respond to, new and emerging statistical needs of policymakers; and anticipate and address related data supply issues;

iii.ensure that OECD statistics are produced according to high-quality standards;

iv.officially review and approve methodological recommendations elaborated by other committees on specific statistical subjects, and promote their implementation;

v.approve common standards for data and metadata exchange between the OECD and national data and other international data providers;

vi.foster the development of innovative tools for data dissemination;

viii.seek to involve important Partners in the activities of the Committee on Statistics and Statistical Policy and its subsidiary bodies, and in specific OECD statistical activities undertaken by the Organisation’s various substantive committees and bodies in order to:

a)improve the availability, quality and international comparability of statistics produced by national sources in both OECD and Partners;

b)promote convergence in statistical standards used by OECD and Partners;
