For the purposes of this Regulation, the following unit, mode of data collection and reference period apply:
Information should be provided for all current household members or, if applicable, for all selected respondents aged 16 and over.
Given the type of information to be collected, only personal interviews are allowed. In particular, proxy interviews are not allowed.
The reference period for all target variables is the current situation, except for the five variables on emotional well-being, which refer to the past 4 weeks.
The target secondary variables should be sent to the Commission (Eurostat) in the Personal Data File (P-file) after the target primary variables.
