It should be noted that this also applies to goods sent between related enterprises or from/to central distribution depots, even if no immediate payment is made.
b Including spare parts and other replacements made against payment.
c Including financial leasing: the lease instalments are calculated in such a way as to cover all or virtually all of the value of the goods. The risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the lessee. At the end of the contract the lessee becomes the legal owner of the goods.
d Return and replacement dispatches of goods originally recorded under items 3 to 9 of column A should be registered under the corresponding items.
e Processing covers operations (transformation, construction, assembling, enhancement, renovation…) with the objective of producing a new or really improved item. This does not necessarily involve a change in the product classification. Processing activities on a processor’s own account are not covered by this item and should be registered under item 1 of column A. Goods for or following processing have to be recorded as arrivals and dispatches. However, a repair should not be recorded under this position. A repair entails the restoration of goods to their original function or condition. The objective of the operation is simply to maintain the goods in working order; this may involve some rebuilding or enhancements but does not change the nature of the goods in anyway. Goods for and after repair are excluded from statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States to be transmitted to the Commission (Eurostat) (see Annex I (h)).
f Transactions recorded under this position could be: transactions not involving transfer of ownership e.g. repair, hire, loan, operational leasing and other temporary uses less than two years, except processing under contract (delivery or return). Transactions recorded with this code shall not be transmitted to the Commission (Eurostat).
g The transactions recorded under item 8 of column A involve only goods which are not separately invoiced, but for which a single invoice covers the total value of the works. Where this is not the case, the transactions should be recorded under item 1.

ANNEX VI U.K. Quality indicators

The information on the quality of the data provided by the Member States shall be based on a common set of quality indicators and the necessary descriptive metadata.

1. Relevance of statistical concepts means that the data meet users’ needs. U.K.

2. Accuracy is one of the main needs of users. It can be assessed by indicators made up as follows: U.K.

(a)

Thresholds

(i)

member States shall report the levels of current threshold.

(ii)

in order to monitor the levels at which thresholds have been set, Member States shall report:

• the coverage rate (%), expressed in terms of value, of trade above the exemption threshold.

(iii)

in order to monitor the impact of the thresholds, Member States shall report:

• the method of adjustment used to estimate trade below the thresholds,

• the share (%) of estimated trade below the thresholds.

(b)

Non-response

In order to assess the level of non-response, Member States shall report:

• the method of adjustment used to estimate missing trade,

• the share (%) of values estimated for missing trade.

(c)

Statistical value

In order to assess the impact of calculating the statistical value, Member States shall report:

• the methodology used to calculate the statistical value,

• the quantitative impact of calculating the statistical value.

(d)

Revisions

In order to assess the impact of the revisions procedures, Member States shall report:

• a description of the revision policy,

• the change (%) of the total trade value between the first results and the last available results.

(e)

Confidentiality

In order to assess the impact of confidential trade, Member States shall report:

• a description of confidentiality rules,

• the share (%) of confidential trade expressed in value terms,

• the number of product codes within the CN affected by confidentiality.

(f)

Other links to accuracy

Other indicators are useful for assessing the quality of data, so Member States shall include the following in the quality report:

• description of control procedures,

• monthly average number of lines in the declarations,

• number of PSIs (Providers of Statistical Information),

• % of electronic declarations,

• % of values declared electronically.

3. Timeliness shall be assessed by Eurostat by calculating the average time between the end of the reference month and transmission of the data to Eurostat, as follows: U.K.

• annual average delay (+ X days) or advance (– Y days) in the transmission of aggregate results, in calendar days, with reference to the legal deadline.

• annual average delay (+ X days) or advance (– Y days) in the transmission of detailed results, in calendar days, with reference to the legal deadline.

4. Accessibility to users gives value to statistical data, which is increased if the data are readily available in formats required by users. Clarity of the data available depends on the assistance provided in using and interpreting the statistics and on the available comments and analysis of results. U.K.

Consequently, Member States shall include in the quality report the media used to disseminate external trade statistics and references to further information that can assist the users of the statistics (e.g. methodological information, previous or similar publications, etc.).

5. Comparability aims at measuring the impact of differences in applied statistical concepts and definitions when statistics are compared between geographical areas, non-geographical domains, or reference periods. U.K.

The use of differing concepts and definitions in Member States may affect comparability in foreign trade statistics (comparability over space).

To evaluate the impact, Member States shall report mirror exercises conducted by them and the investigation of asymmetry carried out if the mirror effect becomes significant.

Comparability over time is another important aspect of quality. Member States shall report any changes to definitions, coverage or methods that will have an impact on continuity.

6. Coherence is defined by how well sets of statistics can be used together. Apart from External Trade Statistics, information on external trade can be found in National Accounts, Business Statistics and Balance of Payments. U.K.

In this context, Member States shall report any information concerning the coherence of foreign trade statistics and statistics originating from other sources.

7. Completeness refers to the fact that the themes for which statistics are available reflect the needs and the priorities expressed by users of the European Statistical System. U.K.
