Federal Statistics Committee (Switzerland)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Swiss Federal Statistics Committee (FStatC) is an advisory body for the Federal Council, the Federal Statistical Office and other statistics producers of the Confederation. It includes high-ranking representatives from the cantons and municipalities, from the economy, social partners, the scientific world, the Swiss National Bank as well as from the federal administration. The committee was established with the nomination of its members by the Federal Council on 10 November 1993. Its legal basis is the Federal Statistical Act of 9 October 1992[1] and the Ordinance of 30 June 1993 on the Conduct of Federal Statistical Surveys.[2]
The Federal Statistics Committee reports to the Federal Department of Home Affairs. The presidency is held by a representative from the scientific world and the Committee usually convenes three times a year.
