General socio-economic survey in Belgium 2001 Notice for the attention of the staff of the European Institutions resident in Belgium ¹ The Belgian authorities are currently organising a general socio-economic survey of all people having their principal residence in Belgium on 1 October 2001 and therefore on the population and foreigners' registers kept by Belgian communes. Consequently, the survey also covers the non-Belgian staff of the Community Institutions residing in Belgium whose names figure on the National Population Register. A number of officials have already received the forms from the National Statistical Institute (Ministry of Economic Affairs) in the post. No provision of the Staff Regulations or any Article of the Protocol on Privileges and Immunities exonerates officials and other servants from the obligation to take part in such a census. In response to an opinion issued on 9 October by the Belgian Commission for the Protection of Privacy, the Minister for Economic Affairs announced that he was going to send two letters to everyone who had received the questionnaire. The first will be sent at the beginning of November and will explain how the survey works, its aims and the measures taken to guarantee anonymity. The second will give a new deadline for returning the completed forms to the National Statistical Institute (the return date of 22 October no longer applies). The text of the Royal Decree of 1 October 2001 on the organisation of the 2001 general socio-economic survey, published in the Moniteur Belge on 5 October 2001, is available on the following website: http://just.fgov.be . In addition, an informal English translation of the form and useful information concerning the survey can be obtained by consulting the website of the Ministry for Economic Affairs at the following address: http://www.enquete2001.be . ¹ Notice drawn up by the Commission Directorate-General for Personnel and Administration in cooperation with the other European Institutions in Brussels.
