Globalisation presents significant statistical challenges, particularly for small and open economies in terms of measuring statistical indicators and communicating the results to users. The European Statistical System allocated high priority to the better measuring of globalisation in the statistical processes and output, in business or macro-economic statistics. One of concrete actions already undertaken is setting up of the EuroGroups Register (EGR) of multinational enterprise groups. The EGR is the central statistical business register of Eurostat and the EU and EFTA countries' statistical authorities. The EGR is part of the EU statistical infrastructure and has been built up to better capture globalisation effects as well as for improving the consistency of national data on enterprise groups. The EGR covers multinational enterprise groups operating in Europe. It provides the statistical authorities of the EU and EFTA countries with yearly population frames of multinational groups. The Register's main function is to provide the statistical authorities with a harmonised picture of multinational groups for their national statistics. The EGR has been growing in terms of quality over years and now covers more than 110 000 multinational enterprise groups in the EU. When at least one legal unit of a multination enterprise group is registered in the EU or EFTA country, the group is in the scope of the EGR.
