      ANNEX
      TECHNICAL FORMAT FOR DATA TRANSMISSION
      1.   DATA STRUCTURE
      The individual data records to be sent to Eurostat for each quarter, year or period of five years, comprise 9 datasets, each corresponding to an annex of Regulation (EC) No 91/2003. These datasets thus contain the following data:
      
                  —
               
               
                  annual statistics on goods transport — detailed reporting (Annex A),
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  annual statistics on goods transport — simplified reporting (Annex B),
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  annual statistics on passenger transport — detailed reporting (Annex C),
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  annual statistics on passenger transport — simplified reporting (Annex D),
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  quarterly statistics on goods and passenger transport (Annex E),
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  quinquennial regional statistics on goods and passenger transport (Annex F),
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  quinquennial statistics on traffic flows on the rail network (Annex G),
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  statistics on accidents (Annex H),
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  a list of the railway undertakings for which statistics are provided (Annex I).
               
            Annexes B and D set out simplified reporting requirements that may be used by Member States as an alternative to the normal detailed reporting set out in Annexes A and C, for undertakings below the thresholds laid down in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 91/2003.
      2.   LIST OF FIELDS
      Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 91/2003, one dataset has to be provided for each annex in the form of a flat file using the semi-colon ‘;’ as a field separator. Each dataset, except dataset C, must contain data for all mandatory tables required by the annex. For each dataset, the number of fields in each record is fixed. In other words, all fields must be present even if they are empty (two successive field separators indicate an empty field).
      The individual fields are described below as follows:
      
                  —
               
               
                  Field number: this identifies the position of the field in the record,
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  Field name: this either refers to a variable in Regulation (EC) No 91/2003, or to an internal identifier used to identify the record,
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  Description: short description of the contents of the field,
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  Coding: in tables A2 and A4 certain fields are to be coded according to Annexes J to K of Regulation (EC) No 91/2003. Additional coding rules are noted here. Further explanations and recommendations on coding are provided by Eurostat in the Guidelines for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 91/2003,
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  Field type: indicates whether the field contains a numeric quantity or a text string, all numeric quantities are to be provided as integers,
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  Maximum length: the maximum expected length of the data for a particular field. Data that are too long cannot be loaded,
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  Confidentiality flag (FlagC) indicates if the record is considered confidential by the Member State (Council Regulations (EC) No 322/97 (1), Article 13(1) and (Euratom, EEC) No 1588/90 (2), Article 2),
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  Flag of authorisation for dissemination of confidential data (FlagD) indicates if confidential data provided by the Member States can be disseminated (Council Regulations (EC) No 322/97, Article 13(2) and (Euratom, EEC) No 1588/90, Article 5(4)). Hence, the Commission is legally permitted to change the Member State’s judgment in well-defined cases. This is done by changing FlagD=1 to FlagD=0 when FlagC=1.

            In the flat file containing the data for Annex A, each record comprises 18 fields. The following table shows in grey the fields that have to be provided for the different tables of Annex A. The white cells correspond to blank fields in the record. An asterisk indicates a key field. The combination of the values of the key fields for a record must constitute a unique key value within the file. If duplicate key values are found, the file will not be loaded correctly.

            In the flat file containing the data for Annex B, each record comprises 10 fields. The following table shows in grey the fields that have to be provided for each of the two tables of Annex B. The white cells correspond to blank fields in the record. An asterisk indicates a key field. The combination of the values of the key fields for a record must constitute a unique key value within the file. If duplicate key values are found, the file will not be loaded correctly.

            In the flat file containing the data for Annex C, each record comprises of 12 fields. The following table shows in grey the fields that have to be provided for the different tables of Annex C. The white cells correspond to blank fields in the record. An asterisk indicates a key field. The combination of the values of the key fields for a record must constitute a unique key value within the file. If duplicate key values are found, the file will not be loaded correctly.
      Provisional (tables C1 and C2) and final consolidated data (tables C3 and C4) are to be sent at different times following the same structure.

            In the flat file containing the data for Annex D, each record comprises of 9 fields. The following table shows in grey the fields that have to be provided for each of the two tables of Annex D. The white cells correspond to blank fields in the record. An asterisk indicates a key field. The combination of the values of the key fields for a record must constitute a unique key value within the file. If duplicate key values are found, the file will not be loaded correctly.

            In the flat file containing the data for Annex E, each record comprises 10 fields. The following table shows in grey the fields that have to be provided for each of the two tables of Annex E. The white cells correspond to blank fields in the record. An asterisk indicates a key field. The combination of the values of the key fields for a record must constitute a unique key value within the file. If duplicate key values are found, the file will not be loaded correctly.

            In the flat file containing the data for Annex H, each record comprises 12 fields. The following table shows in grey the fields that have to be provided for each table of Annex H. The white cells correspond to blank fields in the record. An asterisk indicates a key field. The combination of the values of the key fields for a record must constitute a unique key value within the file. If duplicate key values are found, the file will not be loaded correctly.
      The table contains two further categories of persons that may be required in future: ‘5: Level-crossing users’; and: ‘6: Unauthorised persons on railway premises’.

            In the flat file containing the data for Annex I, each record comprises of 22 fields. The following table shows all fields in grey because there is only one table in Annex I. Optional fields may be left empty. An asterisk indicates a key field. The combination of the values of the key fields for a record must constitute a unique key value within the file. If duplicate key values are found, the file will not be loaded correctly.

            3.   MISSING VALUES
      For certain fields, Eurostat may recommend the use of specific codes for missing values or other special values (see column ‘specific codes for missing values’).
      Additional information is provided in the Guidelines for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 91/2003.
      4.   ALTERNATIVE STANDARD FORMATS
      Member States may use other standard formats which support the abovementioned data structures, where these are proposed by Eurostat.
      5.   VALIDATION OF DATA BY EUROSTAT
      Eurostat will apply some validation checks to the data transmitted by Member States, before the data are loaded into the production database. Where a significant number of records fail these checks, Eurostat will notify the Member State of the records in error and indicate the reasons for non-acceptance. The Member State will be requested to rectify the errors noted and then to re-submit the complete dataset (not just the records that were in error). This procedure is necessary in order to guarantee the correctness of the data within and between different datasets.
      6.   NAMING OF DATASET FILE
      The following file naming convention must be used:
      ‘RAIL_annex_frequency_CC_YYYY_period[_OptionalField].format’ where:
      
                  RAIL
