Abstract

This article proposes a sensitive subject for society, but a challenge for macroeconomic statistics under development: the illegal activities. Why it is necessary to be measured, how should be measured and included in statistics, how they impact the macroeconomic indicators, irrespectively Gross domestic product? These are real problems faced by statisticians responsible of official macroeconomic data from world-wide and in particular from European Union countries. It is useful to shed some light on the methodological aspects which underline the solutions offered at the level of Romanian statistics within the general effort to align to European standards. Fortunately, as long as Romanian agriculture is not a supplier of row products for drugs and smuggled alcohol and tobacco, we cannot talk about illegal activities in agriculture.
