Integration of European data about globalization into the French Statistical Business Register
What it is important for Statistical Business Registers (SBRs)? Its main purposes are to provide a solid and reliable infrastructure, genuine basis for business statistics. To improve the quality of business statistics, the European Statistical System (ESS) set up the European System of Interoperable Statistical Business Registers (ESBRs) project, to tackle issues as the inconsistencies in SBR processes due to the absence of common infrastructure for linking and sharing SBRs’ information. ESBRs already provided important outputs, such the upgraded EuroGroups Register (EGR) 2.0 recording the multinational groups implanted in Europe and the setting up of the Interactive Profiling Tool (IPT) prototype, for collaborative European Profiling.
The French SBR consists of a Business Register (BR) network. Actually, the core French SBR called SIRUS is fuelled by 3 so-called “Authentic source BRs” each dealing with one type of statistical unit. Thus, one BR called SIRENE handles the legal units, another called LIFI handles the groups and finally BCE handles the enterprises. Currently, the French SBR provides groups’ data to EGR, according to the EGR production cycle, EGR production is managed by Eurostat team. The French SBR also provides group and enterprise data to the IPT according to Grant Agreement (GA) between the French National Statistical Institute (NSI) and Eurostat.
In light of EGR and IPT progresses, the French NSI intends to integrate into the French SBR, data from the EGR and from the IPT. The aim is to increase the quality of the French SBR. More specifically, integration of data from EGR will provide a better view of the foreign structure and nationality of multinational group implanted in France. Moreover, the IPT will provide valuable information about French enterprises belonging to foreign groups. It will especially allow French NSI to improve the delineation of enterprises within groups that are automatically profiled.
The article will set out in a first part the French SBR network production process, then in a second part, the quality improvement due to the input of EGR and IPT data into the French SBR will be explained.
