CONTENTS OF THE QUALITY REPORT AND EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR WASTE STATISTICS

PREAMBLE TO THE CONTENTS OF THE QUALITY REPORT

Multi-method environment

Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2150/2002 every transmission of a data set or combination of data sets must be accompanied by a quality report. That Regulation does not prescribe a specific method of drawing up waste statistics. There may be differences between methods from one country to another, between data sets from one country and even within individual data sets. How quality can be assessed depends on the methods applied. To clarify the multi-method environment, Part I of the quality report presents a general description of the data; it identifies and provides an overview of the methods. Part II follows the standard elements used to define quality in the European Statistical System.

Structure

The quality report to be submitted by the Member States must follow the structure set out in the chapter ‘Contents of the quality report’ below. The report will also contain paragraphs which are not applicable or for which no information is available; an explicit reference to these paragraphs should be included in the quality report.

Data revision

Where there has been a revision of data, a note must be appended to the quality report. The note should specify the area covered by the revision; it should also explain why a revision was necessary and clarify the impact of the revision on the results.

Provisional data

Delivery of provisional data is not in accordance with the Regulation on waste statistics. If a set contains provisional data, this should be explained in Part I. The revision of such data will also need to be scheduled.

Key aggregates

In the quality report it is sometimes necessary to assess the impact of assumptions or errors. This assessment can be confined to the impact on key aggregates. For the generation of waste the key aggregates are:

| — | hazardous waste generated by households, |
| --- | --- |

—

hazardous waste generated by households,

| — | non-hazardous waste generated by households, |
| --- | --- |

—

non-hazardous waste generated by households,

| — | hazardous waste generated by enterprises (the total of all NACE categories), |
| --- | --- |

—

hazardous waste generated by enterprises (the total of all NACE categories),

| — | non-hazardous waste generated by enterprises (the total of all NACE categories). |
| --- | --- |

—

non-hazardous waste generated by enterprises (the total of all NACE categories).

For the treatment of waste the key aggregates are:

| — | hazardous waste used as fuel, |
| --- | --- |

—

hazardous waste used as fuel,

| — | non-hazardous waste used as fuel, |
| --- | --- |

—

non-hazardous waste used as fuel,

| — | hazardous waste incinerated, |
| --- | --- |

—

hazardous waste incinerated,

| — | non-hazardous waste incinerated, |
| --- | --- |

—

non-hazardous waste incinerated,

| — | hazardous waste recovered, |
| --- | --- |

—

hazardous waste recovered,

| — | non-hazardous waste recovered, |
| --- | --- |

—

non-hazardous waste recovered,

| — | hazardous waste disposed of, |
| --- | --- |

—

hazardous waste disposed of,

| — | non-hazardous waste disposed of. |
| --- | --- |

—

non-hazardous waste disposed of.

File name

The quality report shall be supplied in electronic form in a document with a file name consisting of five parts:

| Quality report | 2 | Value: QR |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Domain | 5 | Value: WASTE |
| Country code | 2 | Two character country code |

The changes made in relation to the previous reference year should be reported, together with an assessment of the impact on data quality. Special attention should be paid to comparability over time. Details concerning comparability will be reported in Part II under 5: Comparability. For the first reference year there is no requirement to report on comparability with the voluntary data collection based on the Joint OECD/Eurostat Questionnaire on waste.

Member States must list the main changes anticipated in the methods to be used for the next reference year.

Part II:   Report on quality attributes

1.   Relevance

A summary, including a description of users and needs at the national level, should be provided.

Member States should indicate the degree of completeness of the data sets. They should identify the variables and/or breakdowns required by the Regulation on waste statistics which are not available (e.g. the cell value is shown as ‘M’ or ‘L’ in the transmitted data set). For cases not covered by a derogation, an explanation is required. In the case of cells indicated as missing, steps must also be taken to rectify the deficiency.

2.   Accuracy

2.1.   Sampling errors

Reference should be made to Part I for a delineation of the relevant survey area. Information should be provided for the following aspects:

| — | sample frame applied, |

7.   Burden on respondents

An evaluation should be made of the burden on respondents in physical terms (time required for response) and of the actual number of respondents. For administrative sources, the burden on respondents resulting from additional questions for statistical purposes should be evaluated.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

The Commission (Eurostat) will evaluate the information collected on the basis of the Regulation on waste statistics according to the following five broad criteria:

| 1. | Complete data sets
  The completeness of the data sets is defined by the transmission format for statistics on waste (Commission Regulation (EC) No 782/2005 of 24 May 2005
   (1)). |
