Eurostat Director-General, Ms. Mariana Kotzeva, also attended the meeting and supported the discussions on the agenda. The agenda focuses on a wide range of topics crucial for the further alignment of enlargement countries with EU statistical legislation, including: the development and role of statistics in the EU enlargement process and the European Statistical System (ESS); progress and challenges regarding the availability, production, and dissemination of statistical data; the latest developments and national plans of enlargement countries for aligning with EU statistical requirements; priorities for enlargement countries for the 2028–2034 period; recent experiences from peer reviews; and the use of artificial intelligence in statistics, among others.
