Näe ry believes that the data content regarding the economy and the use of resources should be defined with sufficient precision and in a standardized manner, so that the objective set out in the regulation—to eliminate overlapping data collection and integrate data production into the annual steering process of the well-being regions—can be achieved. In the absence of nationally uniform principles, differences in cost allocation and recording will inevitably arise, which will undermine the comparability of data. Therefore, the key principles of cost accounting must be defined at the national level, and data must be produced uniformly across the well-being regions. Näe ry emphasizes that the success of the regulation’s implementation must be assessed based on the extent to which the data is actually used in the development of operations, finances, and services. Data production should support guidance and decision-making rather than increase unnecessary administrative burdens.
