During the High-level meeting on ESS communication and cooperation in times of crisis on 26 November 2020, the Directors-General of the National Statistical Institutes and Eurostat agreed on a coordinated response to future crises affecting the ESS, which was adopted as the “Wiesbaden Memorandum”. Building on both the experiences and conclusions of the National Statistical Institutes and Eurostat, a coordinated response to future crises was developed for the ESS, summarised in the Wiesbaden Memorandum. It provides a coordinated approach to challenges that might arise during a crisis in terms of statistical production, coordination within the ESS as well as internal and external communication.
