4. Discussion and Conclusion
The tasks ahead of national statistical societies, international organisations
are the followings.
At national level I consider that the national statistical societies should
play a key role
 in developing the vision for national statistics renewed under the
influence of globalisation and the digital era, and in the application of
it, they should ensure forum for the discussions,
 play a key role in integration, harmonisation of up-to-date
statistics emerging in different fields, in strengthening of the
communication between actors,
 national statistical societies must play a key role in getting acquainted
with and disseminating good practices used in statistics,
 should play an outstanding role in the development of statistical
culture and operating culture, in the development of new tools, the
adaptation of good practices,
 They must exploiting the advantages of the digital world, enhance the
communication between statisticians and users making the operation
even more effective.
 The Hungarian Statistical Association broadly agrees with the concept,
vision, paradigm shift, as formulated at the NTTS 2019 conference
held in Brussels in March 2019.
At international level I guess the international statistical institutes,
federations should be more open than before, the information flow should
become quicker and more effective. The international organisations,
federations – as the highest level of hierarchy – should give stronger support
to the national societies, especially in the case of sensitive, difficult issues,
statements.
