COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2025/367
of 25 November 2024
supplementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1700 of the European Parliament and of the Council by specifying the number and the title of the variables for over-indebtedness, consumption and wealth in the income and living conditions domain and amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/29
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2019/1700 of the European Parliament and the Council of 10 October 2019 establishing a common framework for European statistics relating to persons and households, based on data at individual level collected from samples, amending Regulations (EC) No 808/2004, (EC) No 452/2008 and (EC) No 1338/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1177/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EC) No 577/98 (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
The income and living conditions domain, set out in Article 3(1), point (b), of Regulation (EU) 2019/1700, provides the information required for the European Semester (2) and the European Pillar of Social Rights (3), in particular on income distribution, poverty and social exclusion. It also provides information for various other Union policies related to living conditions and poverty. |
(2) |
The subject of over-indebtedness, consumption and wealth is of key importance, especially for statistical matching of data between income and living condition domain and consumption domain, providing information on the material well-being that cannot be provided from sole data collection and allows to fill gaps for policymaking. The Commission should therefore specify the number and the title of variables for over-indebtedness, consumption and wealth. |
(3) |
In order to ensure that the policy request for better statistics on the energy poverty is fulfilled, there is a strong need to collect variables on energy (energy sources used by the households and energy cost) and therefore it is necessary to amend Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/29 (4). |
(4) |
Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1700, the number of variables to be collected is not to exceed by more than 5 % the number of variables collected for the income and living conditions domain at the time of entry into force of that Regulation, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The number and title of the variables as regards ‘over-indebtedness, consumption and wealth’ in the income and living conditions domain is set out in Annex I.
Article 2
The Annex to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/29 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 25 November 2024.
For the Commission
The President
Ursula VON DER LEYEN
