5. Data transmission strategy 1
CNAs
Each CNA send is own data, INE is informed and copied on sending.
Take in account last year reorganisations of Ministries and Services
Annual meeting with agenda items for data transmission
Continue Survey to register which domains/datasets are sent

6. Data transmission strategy 2
INE
Continue and increase the use of eDamis, eWP included
Detailed Look to domains not covered by eDamis
Analysis of reports with the transmission media
Find solutions to the “problems” presented by the production units that are not using eDamis

7. Data Preparation Process
Specific outputs to Eurostat
Data transformation Included in last phase of production sw applications (ex: STS, Prodcom…)
Extracted from data warehouse (ex: Census 2001)
“Manual” processes with excel (ex: LFS, ESA…)

8. Data transmission process
One installation of eWA, at INE
eWP used for Agriculture data
The process of transmission is distributed at each production unit
Approximately 50 users using eWA

9. INE Local Co-ordinator
Sits in IS / IT Department
Plan and implement transmission related activities
Report transmission activities
Administration of tools
Day to Day Activities
Monitor Transmissions
Manage user and domain permissions
Support to users

10. INE Local Co-ordinator
2 Hours / week
Distribution of time very irregular along the year.
One more person ( on IT, for sw installation and communication)
Starting of eWP requires more time than planned

11. « Next Steps / Chalenges
The SPC initiatives are now bringing results, the number of domains in eDamis are increased at INE, could also increase at others CNAs?
Harmonization or upgrade of technologies for the preparation of data for transmission, that have been developed in the last 15 years. Difficult to maintain IT resources to deal with all the flavours.
