Key issues for IT Directors SEP strategy: => 50% coverage country by the end of 2006 => close to 100% coverage in NSI => SPC position May 2006: Endorse data transmission strategy based on SEP & eDAMIS Committed all NSIs to use eDAMIS GESMES generation should be automatic (EDI): => Ideally, all data files sent to Eurostat should come from a central data warehouse and be exported (when relevant) directly in GESMES format without human intervention according to the EDI principles eDAMIS future: => CVD => Web forms => Basic validations => SDMX-ML
