(7) The developments described above need to be gradually streamlined, and statistical legislation in the area of social statistics needs to be modernised, in order to ensure that the high quality social indicators are produced in a more integrated, flexible and efficient manner. At the same time, due consideration must be given to the needs of users, to the burden placed on respondents, to Member States resources, the reliability and accuracy of the methods used, technical feasibility of producing the statistics, the time within which they can be available and the reliability of the results. To achieve data of high quality, due consideration should be given to the reference manual "Developing Gender Statistics: a practical tool”, prepared by the UNECE Task Force on Gender Statistics Training for Statisticians with contributions from various experts1a. __________________ 1a http://www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/st ats/publications/Developing_Gender_Stati stics.pdf
