19 SPI cannot be used for distributing GLOBAL ESIF allocation Mixture of official and other sources (EEA, Gallup) Indicators have different margins of error Each step in the process of setting up a composite indicator has a potential impact: Data standardisation Selecting the right way to combine the indicators into components the components into dimensions the dimensions into the final index Questions of principle (high corruption high funding?)
