This regulation sets the detailed information EU countries must send to Eurostat with their business labour market statistics. It defines what quality reports and metadata must contain, including how countries describe samples, non-response, substitutions, and statistical precision. The main impact is on national statistical authorities and other bodies that prepare labour market data for Eurostat. Businesses may be affected indirectly when they are surveyed, but the regulation mainly standardises reporting methods rather than creating new workplace obligations.
