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.

—



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), …
