The evaluation of published statistics on the population and housing censuses in the Union, on international migration flows, migrant stocks and the acquisition of citizenship, and on demography has shown that the current legal framework, comprising Regulations (EC) No 862/2007 and (EC) No 763/2008 of the European Parliament and the Council and Regulation (EU) No 1260/2013, has led to significant overall improvements of statistics compared to the situation in 2005, before the current legal framework was in force. That framework, however, has a potential lack of coherence and comparability, which should be addressed.
