Talk:Eurostat

Wales
is it worth mentioning that Eurostat issued a map of Europe but forgot to draw in Wales as Trivia. Source can be found on BBC news page with a headline like "Wales vanishes off map of europe" I think. I'm asking because I'm not sure it's relevent.

Merge from Eurostat scandal
The result was merge. -- Boson (talk) 20:14, 11 June 2008 (UTC) I suggest merging Eurostat scandal into this article.--Boson 19:17, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. There is no Eurostat scandal. There are only allegations that were never proofed. Wikipedia should stick to facts, not wild rumours. -- B. Feldmann —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.99.63.81 (talk) 17:45, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Whether or not there is a scandal is a different issue, but it seems that there are some sources which show that the scandal was at least a big deal in the news. OptimistBen 08:52, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree. The fraud lasted over 15 years. Eurostat became as OLAF, the EU antifraud body, wrote : "A vast enterprise for looting community fund". Wild rumors, Feldmann ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Djwinch (talk • contribs) 11:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Review of the article
The content appears outdated. I started to modify it fundamentally. Further links need to be added.

The text on the Eurostat scandal was moved to an own article without changes in content. A reference in the history part of the Eurostat article points to it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FHGS (talk • contribs) 20:38, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

A Directorate General?
I'm going off Nugent's (2010) standard textbook here, which states that Eurostat is not a DG, but a specialised service (page 117). Has this situation changed since Nugent's book? Bandanamerchant (talk) 14:23, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
