Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in
particular Article 5.1 and 5.2, and Articles 12.1 and 14.3 thereof,

European system of national and regional accounts in the European Union (2),
Whereas:
(1) To fulfil its tasks, the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) needs comprehensive and reliable government
finance statistics (GFS), inter alia, for monetary and economic analysis, monitoring the sustainability of public
finances and preparing forecasts.
(2) Under Article 8 of Guideline ECB/2013/23 (3), the Executive Board of the European Central Bank is entitled to
make technical amendments to the Annexes to Guideline ECB/2013/23, provided that such amendments neither
change the underlying conceptual framework nor affect the reporting burden.
(3) Changes to the reporting requirements under Guideline ECB/2013/23 are necessary in order to achieve greater
harmonisation of data sources across euro area Member States and across datasets. This will enable a more
thorough analysis and facilitate the comparison of annual and quarterly statistics with forecasts of the same
variables.
(4) Therefore, Guideline ECB/2013/23 should be amended accordingly,
