Member States shall provide the required metadata (including quality) in accordance with an exchange standard specified by the Commission (Eurostat). The metadata shall be provided to Eurostat through the single entry point or in such a form that the Commission (Eurostat) can retrieve it by electronic means.

Contents of the metadata and quality reports

The report shall include the following concepts and cover internal tourism (Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 692/2011) as well as national tourism (Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 692/2011):

(1) Relevance, including completeness as compared to user needs and data completeness as compared to the requirements and recommendations laid down in Articles 2, 3, 4 and 10 of Regulation (EU) No 692/2011.

(2) Accuracy, including coverage error (over-coverage and under-coverage), recall bias, classification error, item and unit non-response (broken down by type of unit non-response), imputation rate (for Section 2 of Annex II), sampling error and coefficients of variation for a set of leading indicators and breakdowns (as well as a description of the formulae or algorithm used to calculate the coefficients of variation) and data revision (policy, practice, impact on leading indicators).

(3) Timeliness, including information on the calendar for the production process until the publication of the results (first results, final and complete results).

(4) Punctuality, including information on the dates of transmission of the data to the Commission (Eurostat) as compared to the deadlines specified in Article 9(4) of Regulation (EU) No 692/2011 for all data deliveries relating to the reference year.

(5) Accessibility and clarity, including information on the release calendar for the main publications (paper and online) relating to the reference periods of the reference year.

(6) Comparability, including comparability between geographical areas, over time (break in series) and between statistical domains.

(7) Coherence, including coherence within the domain with data from other sources, coherence with other statistical domains, coherence between annual and infra-annual statistics.

(8) Cost and burden, including (where available) a quantitative/monetary and qualitative indication of the cost associated with the collection and production and the burden on respondents, and a description of recent or planned measures to improve cost efficiency and/or reduce respondent burden.

(9) Metadata relating to statistical presentation and statistical processing, including information on (where applicable) concepts, definitions and classifications used, sources used, population frame, target population, frequency of data collection, survey type and data collection methods, scope (and limitations to the scope), sampling design and methodology, grossing-up procedures, treatment of confidential data and disclosure control.

ANNEX III

Micro-data files for the transmission of data listed in Section 2 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 692/2011

File structure and codification: practical arrangements

Each observed trip shall be an individual record in the transmitted micro-data file. This micro-data file shall be fully checked, edited and, where necessary, imputed, and shall follow the file structure and codification described in the table below. The Commission (Eurostat) will supply additional guidance on the format for transmission.

Data that does not respect the exchange standard set out in this Annex will be considered as not having been sent.

Header

The purpose of the header is to identify the transmitted data series. It shall consist of four fields:

— Reference period shall consist of seven characters, the first four identifying the year and the last three the period within the year (A00).

— Country code shall consist of two characters, containing the two-character country code of the Member State transmitting the data. Examples: BE (Belgium), BG (Bulgaria), …

— Subject shall consist of the identifier of the dataset: nat_dem_microdata.

— Currency identifies the currency in which expenditure is reported (EUR or NAC). While euro area Member States shall provide data in euro (code EUR), non-euro area Member States can report data either in euro or in their national currency (code NAC). However, all expenditure must be reported in the same currency inside one file.
