German term or phrase: international vergleichende Messpunkte
From a description of the Reformbarometer of the Institut der Deutschen Wirtschaft:

Seit kurzem wird der Index zwar auch für die Nachbarländer Schweiz und Österreich berechnet, die aber bislang noch geringe Zahl an *international vergleichenden Messpunkten* lässt einen Vergleich problematisch erscheinen.

What is being compared are different countries.

So far I have internationally comparative measuring points, but am unsure...Thanks in advance.

Explanation:
That's the gist of it IMHO. I presume that "Messpunkte" are indicators/metrics/parameters, rather than "measuring points".

For individual factors within the comparison, how about "indicators" for Messpunkte, like 'Economic Indicators' for GDP of a country?

Asker: Thanks. The Messpunkte are individual factors within the comparison, e.g. unemployment rates or GNP. So performance measurement doesn't seem to be the correct translation.

Asker: ah yes, good point. any suggestions for the internationally comparative part?

Asker: you're absolutely right, so sorry. I was so charmed by "parameters" that I just stopped reading there. mea culpa.
