All domains that uses JDemetra+ are at least on JD In March 2018, we have just migrated LCI and CHOMM and LFSIND to 2.2. The other domains are subject to be migrated in the coming month.
STS, LCI and LFSIND are using the ESTAT batch tool.

5. Sector Accounts: since October 2015
Sector accounts data published in all the three press releases "Household saving rate" and "Business investment rate") as well as the Statistics explained articles are obtained with JDemetra+, and are fully compliant with the ESS guidelines.
Also the dedicated webpage was updated.
Currently 2.1, in August 2018 move to 2.2 together with model update

6. Short Term Statistics since March 2016
A comprehensive test phase took place at the beginning of 2016
To minimise the impact the FAME database was modified to ensure that JDemetra+ was working in the Unix environment.
Version is used to identifying the models and adjusting the series.
The European aggregates calculated on the basis of nationally adjusted series or national series adjusted by Eurostat with the new software were available for users as of 1 March 2016

7. Labour Market: since 2016
4 domains: LFS, Unemployment, LCI and Job Vacancy Statistics
LFSIND are published since early 2016
Unemployment (CHOMM) uses a batch mode system. Started testing JDemetra+ beginning of January 2016 is used since April Also using Nowcasting and Forecasting features provided by the seasonal adjustment batch tool already in conjunction with a JEcotrim (made compatible with JDemetra+ 2.1/2.2.) batch tool for temporal disaggregation.
JVS is currently using the devoted FAME plug-in
LCI uses a batch since February 2016.

8. Prices
The HICP team uses currently version 2.2 or at least 2.1. Used for data validation process (the old Demetra) since at least 2014 and moved to JDemetra+ in 2016.
JD+ as the main tool for data validation for both the flash and the final HICP

9. Since 2017
National Accounts (Quarterly Main Aggregates) and External Trade (Monthly) are using JDEMETRA+ 2.1
In 2019
Balance of Payment is currently using old Demetra since they have the data on MDT and not in FAME
GFS using the old DEMETRA

10. Interactions with Users
Price unit uses the "Nowcasting" plug-in for the flash estimates of the HICP as back-up solution
Big request to use the "R" package/library
Looking forward to version 3.0
Support by DIME/ITDG to use JDEMETRA+ as reference tool also for temporal disaggregation
Good feedback about the twitter account
