CORSTAT is
a community of interests of the regional statistical offices of Switzerland and aims at
the promotion of official statistics at the regional level. The members of CORSTAT form
two regional conferences which help in reaching this aim. These are: the conference of
Swiss German regional statistical offices (DRSA) and the conference of the regional
statistical offices of French and Italian Switzerland (CORT).
The main objectives of CORSTAT are:
- Promotion of official statistics at the regional level, especially at district and city
level
- Contribution to the development of a system of statistical information which corresponds
to the needs of the different statistics users, particularly at the regional level
- Co-operation in the realization of the Swiss Statistics System
- Co-operation between the regions
To reach these aims the regional statistical offices need to be included in numerous
groups, such as commissions and working groups. The co-operation with federal statistics
is guaranteed at three levels:
- in permanent groups in which regional representatives are included as experts in
commissions and working groups;
- in working groups which deal with questions or current national surveys such as the
Population Census
- and, finally, in other working groups in which quite specific aspects of the official
statistics are developed
Although CORSTAT came into being only a short time ago, its role has been embedded well.
The new organisation has clearly improved the coordination of both regional conferences by
integrating their activities in a central structure with clear objectives.
