I. Relevance
DefinitionRelevance is the degree to which statistical outputs meet current and potential user needs. It depends on whether all the statistics that are needed are produced and the extent to which concepts used (definitions, classifications etc.,) reflect user needs.
I.1. Completeness
The completeness is the extent to which data are available compared with the requirements in terms of characteristic, geographical and activity breakdown, as specified in the SBS Regulation[1].

N.B. The number of confidential cells is calculated at the detailed level of the activity breakdown required by the Regulation (EC) 251/2009.
I.2.2. Please describe your confidentiality rules (primary and secondary). Note: The described confidentiality rules will not be published by ESTAT.Less than 4 enterprises and turnover of one or two enterprises dominates; more than 80% of the total turnover in one aggregation level.
I.2.3. Have you taken any measures to reduce the number of confidential cell?
[ ] Yes
[ X ] No
If yes, please describe them briefly:
I.2.4. How do you evaluate the impact of the applied measured to reduce the number of confidential cells?
very good good satisfactory poor very poor
I.3. Monitoring user interest
If the SBS data of Annexes I to IV are not disseminated at national level by your NSI, please answer only to the questions 1.3.2.5 and 1.3.3.3.
I.3.1. Data dissemination report
1.3.1.1. Does the dissemination/publishing unit in your NSI keep track of the number of hard-copies of the SBS publications sent or sold?[2]
[ X ] Yes
If yes, how many publications were sent/sold from the most recent hard-copy publications (or in the last 12 months…): 62
[ ] No
[ ] No (hardcopies are not printed)
1.3.1.2. Does the dissemination/publishing unit in your NSI keep track of the number of downloaded on-line SBS publications?
[ ] Yes
If yes, how many downloaded publications/data were sent/sold for the most recent SBS publications/data (or in the last 12 months…):
[ ] No
[ X ] No (publications are not available on-line)
1.3.1.3. Does the dissemination/publishing unit in your institute keep track of the number of downloaded data from the on-line databases?
[ X ] Yes
If yes, how many downloads of SBS data were made last year: 76
[ ] No

I.3.2.2. If yes, could you give a brief description of your main users and their needs (by main groups of users) Internal or external users?Before launching the survey, there are consultations with National Accounts Directorate and STS Directorate.
I.3.2.3. If SBS data of Annexes I to IV are published at national level, could you please give a brief description of the general opinion of the main users about the quality of the data?
Generally the users are satisfied about the quality of the data.
I.3.2.4. If SBS data of Annexes I to IV are published at national level, does the consultation with the key users reveal any specific unfulfilled need in addition to the requirements of the Annexes I to IV of the SBS Regulation? If yes, please specify.
(Not to be filled in if questions 1.3.2.1 to 1.3.2.4 have been answered)

I.3.3.1. Have you organised a punctual or a regular survey related to the users' satisfaction regarding the availability of your data for Annexes I to IV of the SBS Regulation in your country?
[ ] Yes

I.3.3.2. If you have organised a survey as such, to what extent the users' needs were fulfilled by the available data and if they are relevant for all of them?II. Accuracy and reliability
DefinitionAccuracy of statistical outputs in the general statistical sense is the degree of closeness of estimates to the true values.
If a different methodology is applied for different activity groups (or by Annex of the SBS Regulation) this part of the quality report may be copied for each of the different methodologies. Please indicate clearly which activities or Annex of the SBS Regulation the information is referring to.
II.1. Concepts and sources
Member states may use different data collection systems to comply with the SBS regulation.
It might be:
· the use of sample surveys[3] (with administrative information present in the sampling frame and only used for stratification purpose),
· the use of a sample survey combined with use of administrative information (whereby this information is also used in the editing and imputation process and possibly in the inference process through calibration),
· the use of administrative data as the only source of information and all characteristics are calculated from the administrative records using or not a model based approach (in this case no survey information is used for a significant part of the strata covered).
It is necessary only to fill in the concerned column.
If several surveys are used in order to compile different SBS characteristics, the table should be copied as many times as there are survey.
