Needs and Obstacles:• The general politics is: reduction of government administration (at the

moment: one statistician + one project engineer)

• Request: expand number of experts in this area – least 4 statisticians + project engineer

• Support in providing technical instruments: methodological recommendation, questionnaire, tabulation schemes etc.

• Permanency of education and training for personnel: participation on international workshops.

• Suggestion for improvement of coverage in R&D: aim – to include business sector and non-profit sector.

• Statistilal units - overcroweded by requests from state statistics and other goverment institutions.
