1- Priority Description
In accordance with the provision set forth in the Treaty Establishing the European Community and the Statute of the European System of Central Banks, which requires that the primary objective of central banks shall be to maintain price stability, it is stipulated through Law No.4651 that the primary objective of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey is to maintain price stability.

1- Priority Description
Article 15 of the Insurance Supervisory Law lists the reserves that can be accepted as collateral. The following assets may be accepted as collateral:
- Cash deposits in Turkish Lira and foreign exchange dealt by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey,*
- The State's domestic and foreign bonds, Treasury promissory notes, profit sharing certificates or other stocks and bonds to be issued by the State,*
- Shares of companies in which more than 51 % of the capital is owned by the State,*
- Other capital market instruments acceptable by the Undersecretariat, *
- Real estate owned by insurance companies in Turkey.
“Other capital market instruments acceptable by the Undersecretariat” makes it possible for insurance companies to hold shares of foreign companies and foreign bonds, and other foreign treasury bills and bonds. This article regulates in general terms those assets that can be accepted by the Undersecretariat of Treasury as collateral. It does not impose any restrictions on insurance undertakings or prevent them acquiring those assets as collateral. In practice, insurance and reinsurance companies do invest in such financial instruments and they are perfectly acceptable by the Undersecretariat of Treasury. In this context, in the insurance legislation there is no provision providing privileged access of public sector authorities to financial institutions.

The new modified accrual based accounting system and budget classification will be used in the consolidated budgetary agencies in 2004, and in all general government agencies in 2005. Then, all general public finance statistics will be consolidated and made public by the Ministry of Finance, according to international standards. Subsequently, it is planned to complete the work on physical assets in the consolidated budgetary agencies and to move to full accrual based accounting and reporting in 2007. After completing all this work, general government statistics will be made public on a quarterly basis.

1- Priority Description
Modelling and applying a new Business Registers System
The concepts and definitions of European Union regulations related to setting up a new Business Registers system should be adopted. Based on this study, the new system should be modelled and implemented.
Applying address standards for administrative sources
Administrative sources to be used for establishing and updating procedures of Business Registers are required to use the standard address structure. The purpose of this study is to compare data from the same region originating from different sources.
Data sharing
Related Public institutions (Ministry of Finance, Social Insurance Institution (SSK), Turkish Employment Organization (ISKUR), Labour Institution, The Union of Chambers of Commerce and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey etc.) providing data to SIS within the scope of Business Registers, should introduce some changes in their laws in order to share those data with SIS. Registers to be used in forming and updating the business registers system cannot be shared because of data confidentiality. Therefore, legal and administrative obstacles should be removed.
Adjustment of Ministry of Finance and other related Institutions’s Registers
Studies should be conducted in order to keep the necessary variables in compliance with the EU acquisregulations within the framework of Ministry of Finance and related institutions’ records which are the main administrative source for Business Registers.

PRIORITY 12.6 Statistics Related To the Labour Force, Wages, Labour Costs And Structure of Earnings
Task 12.6.1 Labour Force Statistics
1- Priority Description
Full compliance with EU legislation on variables used in the survey
Including newly requested variables into the Labour Force Survey (LFS) questionnaire by following the new Eurostat regulations and ensuring full compliance with the respective EU legislation. Thus, the results of the labour force survey produced fully in harmony with EU standards can contribute more comprehensively to the statistics collected and published by the EU.
Increasing the sample size of the survey and re-designing the sample design to give estimates according to NUTS 2 level
Producing labour force statistics on the basis of regional classification, combining socially and economically homogenous provinces, will lead to the production of the regional labour force statistics required by the EU. From the national perspective, regional labour force statistics will be a very important data source for regional development and employment strategies.
Conducting the modular surveys requested by Eurostat on the different aspects of the labour market from the beginning of the year 2005
Eurostat requests modular surveys to be carried out together with the LFS in order to gather detailed data on different aspects of the labour market. Even though the surveys on the topics Eurostat has requested have not yet been conducted, in order to provide data needed in various areas of the labour market modular surveys such as Child Labour, and Education and Training have been carried out together with the LFS. From 2005 onwards, it is planned to conduct modular surveys requested by Eurostat together with the LFS. Detailed data on different aspects of the labour market collected through these modular surveys will be a very important data source for decision makers, researchers and technicians on a national basis. Moreover, this data will also facilitate international comparisons.
Preparing the quality control report regularly in order to increase data quality of the surveys.
In order to increase the data quality of surveys, quality control reports are planned on the following topics: Accuracy (sampling and non-sampling errors), timeliness, accessibility, comparability, coherence and completeness. Through the quality control reports, errors deriving from the field application of the survey will be eliminated (or minimized), the LFS will reflect the economic developments in our country in a better way and the data quality will be increased to the desired level.

Task 12.6.2 Statistics Oon Wages, Labour Cost And Structure of Earnings
1- Priority Description
Regular implementation of the Labour Cost Survey (LCS)
The SIS has been compiling data on labour costs through annual Manufacturing Surveys since 1993. However, this data is not compatible with the labour cost data set requested by Eurostat in terms of coverage and detail . Therefore, the Institute aims to conduct regular independent Labour Cost Surveys to Eurostat standards. The first independent Labour Cost Survey will be applied as a pilot study in the framework of Eurostat project in 2003.
In European Union countries the Labour Cost Survey is conducted regularly once in every four years, beginning with the 2000 reference year, in accordance with the regulations. Therefore, to be in line with related regulations in terms of timeliness, the survey will be repeated in 2005, using the reference year 2004, and covering all sectors, following the establishment of a fresh frame by using the results of the 2003 General Census of Establishments. The Institute aims to conduct the survey regularly at four year intervals from the beginning of 2004.
In preparation, a draft questionnaire on the Labour Cost Survey, which is to Eurostat standards, was designed and tested twice in Ankara in 2002.
Regular implementation of the Structure of Earnings Survey (SES)
The State Institute of Statistics conducted an Employment and Wage Structure Survey with the reference year 1994, which is equivalent to the Eurostat Structure of Earnings Survey of 1995. However, to date the survey could not be repeated due to frame problems. The Institute aims to conduct a Structure of Earnings Survey regularly in line with EU standards. A pilot survey on this issue is going to be carried out in the year 2004 within the framework of the EU compliance project.
The Structure of Earnings Survey has been carried out regularly once every four years in EU Member States since the year 2002, according to the related regulations. Therefore, compliance regarding timing will be possible with the implementation covering all sectors which will be introduced in 2007, taking 2006 as the reference year. It is planned to conduct the survey once every four years from the beginning of 2006.
