The feeling that the impact will be limited

4. Calendar Eurostat priority: Annual break free time series
Implementation date = January the first T
Transmission date:
impact factor December T
break free series May T+1
From LAMAS consultation: All respondents (12) propose a date within the deadlines
But for several countries, for short run analysis reasons, May T+1 is too late and Eurostat supports any effort for timeliness
