INSEE is the French National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies. It collects and publishes information on the French economy and society, carrying out the periodic national census. Located in Paris, it is the French branch of Eurostat, European Statistical System. The INSEE was created in 1946 as a successor to the National Statistics Service created under Vichy during World War II. INSEE is the responsibility of MINEFE, the French Ministry of Finance. The current director is Jean-Philippe Cotis. However, Eurostat considers INSEE as an independent body, although its independence is not written in the law.
