3. Compliance monitoring
A Commission Regulation is binding in all its elements (unless a derogation has been granted)

4. Countries are recommended:
Timeliness
Only 10 countries (out of 33) sent all the 7 questionnaires according to the legal deadlines
14 countries sent from 1 to 5 questionnaires within the month following the legal deadline
11 countries sent from 1 to 7 questionnaires more than one month after the legal deadline
Questionnaires on expenditure and personnel seem to be the more problematic ones
Countries are recommended:
To respect the deadlines without jeopardising data quality
To inform Eurostat in case of structural problem

5. Data quality (excluding timeliness)
Globally the quality of the information has been assessed as good or acceptable (according to our data checks)
Still recurrent problems in few countries (dealt with bilaterally by Eurostat)
Countries are recommended:
To estimate missing information (and to improve their estimates if necessary)
To provide appropriate metadata so that end users are properly informed
To anticipate the end of existing derogations
