THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 638/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on Community statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States and in particular Articles 3(4) and (5), 6(2), 8(2), 9, 10, 12 and 13(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States are based on the Regulation (EC) No 638/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council which reconsiders the statistical provisions with a view to improving transparency and facilitating comprehension and which is adapted to meet current data requirements. Particular implementation arrangements are assigned to the Commission in accordance with Article 14(2) of the said Regulation. Therefore it is necessary to adopt a new Commission Regulation which should refer in a restrictive manner to the assigned responsibility and specify the implementing provisions. Commission Regulations (EC) No 1901/2000 of 7 September 2000 laying down certain provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3330/91 on the statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States and (EEC) No 3590/92 of 11 December 1992 concerning the statistical information media for statistics on trade between Member States should therefore be repealed.

(2) For methodological reasons a number of types of goods and movements should be exempted. It is necessary to draw up a comprehensive list of those goods to be excluded from the statistics to be sent to the Commission (Eurostat).

(3) Goods are to be included in trade statistics at the time when they enter or leave the statistical territory of a country. However, special arrangements are needed when data collection takes account of fiscal and customs procedures.

(4) A link between value added tax information and Intrastat declarations should be maintained in order to check the quality of the collected information. It is appropriate to determine the information to be transmitted by the national tax administration to the national authorities responsible for statistics.

(5) Common definitions and concepts should apply to data collected within the Intrastat system in order to facilitate a harmonised application of the system.

(6) With a view to transparency and equal treatment of the companies, harmonised and accurate provisions should be applied for the setting up of thresholds.

(7) Appropriate provisions have to be determined for some specific goods and movements in order to ensure that the necessary information is collected in a harmonised way.

(8) Common and appropriate timetables as well as provisions on adjustments and revisions have to be included in order to satisfy users’ needs for timely and comparable figures.

(9) A regular assessment of the system is planned in order to improve the data quality and ensure the transparency of the functioning of the system.

(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

the product code 9950 00 00,

the partner Member State,

the value of the goods.

(a) may refuse or limit application of this simplification if they consider that the aim of maintaining a satisfactory quality of statistical information overrides the desirability of reducing the reporting burden;

ANNEX VI Quality indicators 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.

The information on the quality of the data provided by the Member States shall be based on a common set of quality indicators and the necessary descriptive metadata. Relevance of statistical concepts means that the data meet users’ needs. Accuracy is one of the main needs of users. It can be assessed by indicators made up as follows: Timeliness shall be assessed by Eurostat by calculating the average time between the end of the reference month and transmission of the data to Eurostat, as follows: Accessibility to users gives value to statistical data, which is increased if the data are readily available in formats required by users. Clarity of the data available depends on the assistance provided in using and interpreting the statistics and on the available comments and analysis of results. Consequently, Member States shall include in the quality report the media used to disseminate external trade statistics and references to further information that can assist the users of the statistics (e.g. methodological information, previous or similar publications, etc.). Comparability aims at measuring the impact of differences in applied statistical concepts and definitions when statistics are compared between geographical areas, non-geographical domains, or reference periods. The use of differing concepts and definitions in Member States may affect comparability in foreign trade statistics (comparability over space). To evaluate the impact, Member States shall report mirror exercises conducted by them and the investigation of asymmetry carried out if the mirror effect becomes significant. Comparability over time is another important aspect of quality. Member States shall report any changes to definitions, coverage or methods that will have an impact on continuity. Coherence is defined by how well sets of statistics can be used together. Apart from External Trade Statistics, information on external trade can be found in National Accounts, Business Statistics and Balance of Payments. In this context, Member States shall report any information concerning the coherence of foreign trade statistics and statistics originating from other sources. Completeness refers to the fact that the themes for which statistics are available reflect the needs and the priorities expressed by users of the European Statistical System.

Quality indicators 1.2.

(a) Thresholds

(a)

(i) member States shall report the levels of current threshold.

(ii) in order to monitor the levels at which thresholds have been set, Member States shall report:

the coverage rate (%), expressed in terms of value, of trade above the exemption threshold.

(iii) in order to monitor the impact of the thresholds, Member States shall report:

the method of adjustment used to estimate trade below the thresholds,

the share (%) of estimated trade below the thresholds.

(b) Non-response In order to assess the level of non-response, Member States shall report:

the method of adjustment used to estimate missing trade,

the share (%) of values estimated for missing trade.

(c) Statistical value In order to assess the impact of calculating the statistical value, Member States shall report:

the methodology used to calculate the statistical value,

the quantitative impact of calculating the statistical value.

(d) Revisions In order to assess the impact of the revisions procedures, Member States shall report:

a description of the revision policy,

the change (%) of the total trade value between the first results and the last available results.

(e) Confidentiality In order to assess the impact of confidential trade, Member States shall report:

a description of confidentiality rules,

the share (%) of confidential trade expressed in value terms,

the number of product codes within the CN affected by confidentiality.

(f) Other links to accuracy Other indicators are useful for assessing the quality of data, so Member States shall include the following in the quality report:

description of control procedures,

monthly average number of lines in the declarations,

number of PSIs (Providers of Statistical Information),

% of electronic declarations,

% of values declared electronically.

annual average delay (+ X days) or advance (– Y days) in the transmission of aggregate results, in calendar days, with reference to the legal deadline.

annual average delay (+ X days) or advance (– Y days) in the transmission of detailed results, in calendar days, with reference to the legal deadline.
