to the regional yearbook 2001
Regional diversity is an important asset of the European Union. At the same time, the policy challenges it
poses have resulted in an ever greater focus on regional aspects. This undeniable increase in the
importance attached to the regional dimension of the European Union can be traced to a number of
factors.
On the one hand, the Commission's Treaty obligations to assist those parts of the Union facing particular
difficulties have necessarily involved a regional approach. Regional aid under the Structural Funds has
played a major part in attempts to revive or safeguard healthy economies in EU regions facing difficulties
because of geographical constraints, inadequate infrastructure or declining traditional industries.
At the same time, the dismantling of the Union's internal frontiers as barriers to movement has meant
that links, and many forms of cooperation, between neighbouring regions across these borders are an
increasing daily reality.
Reliable, comparable and recent data on key indicators are necessary for the shaping, implementation,
monitoring and evaluation of policies — at Community, national, regional and even local level — to
improve the living conditions of citizens across the Union.
Eurostat's regional yearbook has provided such data for many years. In the 2001 edition, the inclusion
of data on the candidate countries of central and eastern Europe allows the reader to compare regional
realities in today's and tomorrow's European Union. I am confident that this information will prove
invaluable to a wide range of users in the European institutions, in national and regional administrations
and in the private sector.

Eurostat is the Statistical Office of the European Communities. Its task is to provide the
European Union with statistics at an level, that allow comparisons to be made
between countries and regions. Eurostat consolidates and harmonizes the data collected by
the Member States.
To ensure that the vast quantity of accessible data is made widely available, and to help each
user make proper use of the information, Eurostat has set up a publications and services
programme.
This programme makes a clear distinction between general and specialist users and
particular collections have been developed for these different groups. The collections Press
releases, Statistics in focus, Panorama of the European Union, Key indicators and Catalogues
are aimed at general users. They give Immediate key Information through analyses, tables,
graphs and maps.
The collections Methods and nomenclatures, Detailed tables and Studies and research suit
the needs of the specialist who Is prepared to spend more time analysing and using very
detailed information and tables.
All Eurostat products are disseminated through the Data Shop network or the sales agents
of the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities. Data Shops are avail­
able in 12 of the 1 5 Member States as well as in Switzerland, Norway and the United States.
They provide a wide range of services from simple database extracts to tailor-made
investigations. The information is provided on paper and/or in electronic form via e-mail, on
diskette or CD-ROM.
As part of the new programme Eurostat has developed Its web site. It includes a broad range
of on-line Information on Eurostat products and services, newsletters, catalogues, on-line
publications as well as indicators on the euro-zone.
