2. Eurostat SDMX Implementation Process
Eurostat Unit B5 – Statistical Information Technologies GLC 26th Meeting – 25/26 October 2011

3. Implementation Status of Domains
Balance of Payments
National Accounts
Research & Development
Pesticides
Waste
Census
Aviation
Fisheries

4. Waste Statistics
Compliance
Implementation
Waste Statistics: biennial data collection on generation and management of waste and on treatment facilities.
Problem up to 2010: Use of Excel files for data entry
non-standard legacy codes
country specific files needed (NUTS breakdown)
macros causing problems on users’ PCs
Solution from 2012: SDMX and eDAMIS
EDAMIS as single entry point
webforms based on SDMX DSDs
direct transmission of SDMX-ML as an option (SDMX Converter or country specific tools can be used)
Workshop on November

5. Fisheries Statistics Aquaculture Catch Landings
Production
Aquaculture
First complete SDMX-ML based collection in Dec 2010
Review of DSDs for December 2011 in progress
Catch
Pilot project with Eurostat and some Member States 2010
SEIF project 2011 (with FAO and ICES)
Joint Catch DSDs for 2011
Annual maintenance life cycle (mainly code lists)
