Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 recalls that Article 5 of the Statute, together with Article 5 of the Treaty, implies an obligation to design and implement at national level all the measures that the non-participating Member States consider appropriate in order to carry out the collection of the statistical information needed to fulfil the ECB's statistical reporting requirements and timely preparations in the field of statistics in order for them to become participating Member States.
Määruses (EÜ) nr 2533/98 meenutatakse, et põhikirja artikkel 5 koos asutamislepingu artikliga 5 osutab kohustusele kavandada ja kohaldada siseriiklikul tasandil kõiki meetmeid, mida mitteosalevad liikmesriigid peavad asjakohaseks selleks, et koguda EKP statistiliste andmete esitamise nõuete täitmiseks vajalikku statistilist teavet ning teha statistika valdkonnas õigel ajal ettevalmistusi, et saada osalevateks liikmesriikideks.
