Eurostat SDMX Implementation Process Eurostat Unit B5 – Statistical Information Technologies GLC 26th Meeting – 25/26 October 2011

Implementation Status of Domains Balance of Payments National Accounts Research & Development Pesticides Waste Census Aviation Fisheries

Waste Statistics Compliance Implementation Waste Statistics: biennial data collection on generation and management of waste and on treatment facilities. Problem up to 2010: Use of Excel files for data entry non-standard legacy codes country specific files needed (NUTS breakdown) macros causing problems on users’ PCs Solution from 2012: SDMX and eDAMIS EDAMIS as single entry point webforms based on SDMX DSDs direct transmission of SDMX-ML as an option (SDMX Converter or country specific tools can be used) Workshop on 15-16 November

Fisheries Statistics Aquaculture Catch Landings Production Aquaculture First complete SDMX-ML based collection in Dec 2010 Review of DSDs for December 2011 in progress Catch Pilot project with Eurostat and some Member States 2010 SEIF project 2011 (with FAO and ICES) Joint Catch DSDs for 2011 Annual maintenance life cycle (mainly code lists) Landings Eurostat DSDs based on Catch concepts 2011 Eurostat Unit B5 – Statistical Information Technologies GLC 26th Meeting – 25/26 October 2011

Aviation Statistics Aviation transport working group adopted SDMX Implementation Aviation transport working group adopted SDMX Validation based on SDMX DSDs and EDAMIS Validation Engine Phase out of Genedi Timeline Pilot workshop in Austria  showed feasibility Working Group June 2011  approved SDMX Implementation workshops in some Member States Q4/2011 – Q1/2012 On site: PT, CZ, DK, FR, CY, SE Remote: IE, NL SDMX only collection for all Member States by end 2012

Research and Development Preparation Unit F4 request for preparation of a DSD package SDMX-ML based data exchange planned List of concepts and code lists specified by unit Current Activities Define roles of concepts in datasets Agreement on content of cross-domain code lists

Pesticides Statistics Preparation New dataset prescribed by EU legislation Preference of production unit to have the data exchange based on SDMX-ML Initial phase of specification towards compliance Specification of the structure and content of dataset Preparation of request for DSD package

National Accounts Preparation Implementation for multiple organisations BIS, ECB, Eurostat, IMF, OECD, UN, World Bank ECB, Eurostat, OECD mandated by SDMX Secretariat and IAG (Inter Agency Group for National Accounts) To define SDMX DSD(s) to be used To define organisation of maintenance General Approach Agree on list of Domain Concepts Build DSDs from that “basket”

Balance of Payments Similar approach as for National Accounts Preparation Similar approach as for National Accounts Jointly between multiple organisations List of Domain Concepts to build DSD SDMX Secretariat mandated IMF, ECB and Eurostat Current phase Governance structure for implementation project Discussions on specification of domain concepts and code lists

Census Hub First implementation of “Hub Mode” Hub installed in European Commission as central access point SDMX-RI as backbone in Member States

Census Hub All major functionalities implemented Implementation All major functionalities implemented 19 countries connected by end 2011 Current activities: Performance tuning Planning for integration of metadata on quality Support and corrective maintenance on tools used
