6. Do you wish to have pre-made graphics?
On scale 0 to 10
Most answers in the ends
Two different needs on the same data
But also need for something in between, maybe modifiable pre-selected database graphics?

7. Do you wish to have raw data or ready analysis and indicators?
Same trend visible on the question how processed data the users want
Important to offer also preselected modifiable data

8. What is still missing?
Listing of statistics that publish regional information
Waiting for the new statistical metadata system
Language versions
Active usage of the user statistics to improve the services

9. Open questions for everyone
We clearly have two types of end users, those who seek ready material and those who seek raw material, how to serve both at the same time?
How about those in between the edges?
How to connect other regional services to statistics?
Lots of different regional classifications, both actual and historical, how to support them in different services?
