| description | Recent changes in the “regime“ of international National Accounting (NA) Standards entail clear changes to traditional practice, selfunderstanding and societal positioning of this kind of statistical work. Since the ability to follow and/or the legal impact of the new system is not evenly distributed over countries there is danger of segregation of the former NA
family into a sort of “class society“. Surprisingly, neither on the side of government nor of scientific circles this problem has found sufficient attention so far.
In the present text the implications and some consequential necessities are considered from different points of view, viz. the suitability of countries, the legalistic requirements and the operational use of the new instruments. |
