One of the objectives of the session was to promote the debate and reflection on the specific needs of access / obtaining statistical information by the Planning Offices and similar entities, for the exercise of their functions, and the discussion and analysis on the feasibility of the use of existing access modalities by those bodies to meet their needs.
