3. 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
