Reference metadata describe statistical concepts and methodologies used for the collection and generation of data. They provide information on data quality and, since they are strongly content-oriented, assist users in interpreting the data. Reference metadata, unlike structural metadata, can be decoupled from the data.

3.1. Data description
Foreign Affiliates Statistics (FATS) measure the commercial presence through affiliates in foreign markets.
In country-level business statisticsoutward foreign affiliates statistics (OFATS) describe the activity of domestic affiliates of every resident ultimate controlling institutional unit which has at least one foreign affiliate and the activity of foreign-controlling enterprises resident in the compiling country (Table 15 of the EBS Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1197).
In statistics on international activities outward foreign affiliates statistics (OFATS) describe the activity of foreign affiliates abroad ultimately controlled by an institutional unit resident in the compiling country (Table 33 of the EBS Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1197).
Variables on country-level business activities in the OFATS data category:
Number of foreign-controlling enterprises (UCI concept) and domestic affiliates
Number of employees and self-employed persons in foreign-controlling enterprises (UCI concept) and domestic affiliates
Net turnover of foreign-controlling enterprises (UCI concept) and domestic affiliates
Variables on the international activities in the OFATS data category:
Number of enterprises abroad ultimately controlled by institutional units of the reporting country
Number of employees and self-employed persons in enterprises abroad ultimately controlled by institutional units of the reporting country
Employee benefits expense in enterprises abroad ultimately controlled by institutional units of the reporting country
Gross investment in tangible non-current assets of enterprises abroad ultimately controlled by institutional units of the reporting country
Net turnover of enterprises abroad ultimately controlled by institutional units of the reporting country
3.2. Classification system
Classification systems used in the FATS are as follows:
Statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community (NACE Rev. 2);
List of 2-digit country codes (ISO 3166-1);
Currency codes (ISO 4217).
3.3. Coverage - sector
Market producers of NACE Sections B to N and P to S.
3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions
In country-level business statisticsOutward Foreign Affiliates Statistics (OFATS) describe the activity of domestic affiliates of every resident ultimate controlling institutional unit which has at least one foreign affiliate and the activity of foreign-controlling enterprises resident in the compiling country (Table 15 of the EBS Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1197).
In statistics on international activities Outward Foreign Affiliates Statistics (OFATS) describe the activity of foreign affiliates abroad ultimately controlled by an institutional unit resident in the compiling country (Table 33 of the EBS Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1197).
Foreign affiliate in the framework of outward FATS is an enterprise or branch not resident in the compiling country over which an institutional unit resident in the compiling country has ultimate (direct or indirect) control.
Domestic affiliate shall mean an enterprise resident in the compiling country over which a UCI resident in the same compiling country has control.
Ultimate Controlling Institutional of a foreign affiliate (UCI) shall mean the institutional unit, proceeding up a foreign affiliate’s chain of control, which is not controlled by another institutional unit.
Control is the ability to determine the general policy of the affiliate by choosing appropriate directors, if necessary. In this context, enterprise A is deemed to be controlled by an institutional unit B when B controls, whether directly or indirectly, more than half of the shareholders' voting power or more than half of the shares.
Indirect control means that an institutional unit may have control through another affiliate which has control over enterprise A.
Active enterprise is a statistical units which at any time during the reference period was ‘enterprise’, as defined in Regulation (EEC) No 696/93, and also active during the same reference period. A statistical unit is considered to have been active during the reference period if, in said period, it either realized positive net turnover or produced outputs or had employees or performed investments.
Employees and self-employed persons are persons who work for an observation unit on the basis of a contract of employment and receives compensation in the form of wages, salaries, fees, gratuities, piecework pay or remuneration in kind; and persons who are the sole owners or joint owners of the statistical unit in which they work. Family workers and outworkers, whose income is a function of the value of the outputs of the statistical unit, are also included.
Employee benefits expense contains all expenses arising in relation with employee benefits, recognized by the statistical unit during the reference period. Those are are all forms of consideration given by the statistical unit in exchange for service rendered by employees or for the termination of employment.
Gross investment in tangible non-current assets includes all additions to tangible non-current assets, recognized as such by the statistical unit during the reference period, except any increases from revaluations or reversals of previously recognized impairment losses and from reclassifications (transfers) of other tangible non-current assets.
Net turnover consists of all income arising during the reference period in the course of ordinary activities of the statistical unit, and is presented net of all price reductions, discounts and rebates granted by it.

SURS operates on the basis of the National Statistics Act and Regulation (EC) No. 223/2009 on European statistics; in performing its tasks it follows the general principles of quality management, the European Statistics Code of Practice and the Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics. In line with the stated, SURS declares that it takes into account the following principles: professional independence, process orientation, quality of products and services, planning of improvements, stimulating working environment for employees, data providers-friendly official statistics, user-oriented official statistics. The principles are more in detail presented in the Quality Statement of the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia.
Table 33: Bank of Slovenia as a member of ESCB adheres to the Public commitment on European statistics by the ESCB. Commitment to quality is one of the basic principles laid down in this public commitment. Our institution acknowledges that quality management is one of the cornstone of statistical work.

Unit non-response occurs when not all the reporting units in the sample participate in the survey.
Item non-response occurs when a respondent provides some, but not all, of the information requested or if the information reported is unusable (note that entirely unusable questionnaires are already counted in the unit non-response).
13.3.3.1. Unit non-response - rate
Table 33: Bank of Slovenia (prior and after deadlines) reminds reporting units to send data, so non-response is negligible, less than 0.1%. Out of 532 reporting units (population) only 4 did not provide report. In terms of indicators values, they are even much less important.

EGR data do not cover 2 indicator (Employee benefits expense, Gross investment in tangible non-current assets).
15.4. Coherence - internal
Table 33: Data are internally consistent.
Table 33: Data for Table 33 are part of yearly survey on direct investment, therefore costs of collecting data are included already in total costs of balance of payments and International Investment Position compilation. We can not extract costs for these indicators separately.
17.1. Data revision - policy
Regarding Table 15, there is no special revision policy for O-FATS in this respect, but in case of need, we are obliged to act in accordance with the General revision policy of the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia.
The SURS classifies data revision in relation to planning (planned, unplanned), time of implementation (regular, occasional) and in relation to purpose (inclusion of a more complete/additional data source or a change in the data source, seasonal adjustment and/or elimination of calendar effects, transition to a new base period, improvement of methodology due to a change in the statistical method or a change in classifications, concepts and definitions; elimination or errors).The SURS further defines other characteristics and pre-conditions for different types of data revision and informing users on planned revisions. The revision policy is described in the methodological note on revision, which could be accessed on the SURS web page in Slovene language.
Besides revision policy the SURS has a separate policy on correction of errors in published statistical data and information. This policy is as well described in the methodological note, which could be accessed on the SURS web page in Slovene language.
Regarding Table 33, data are first published at national level for T-1y period, at T+11m. Data are revised once and at that time reported to Eurostat at T+20 m. There are no further revisions of data for international institutions.
Based on bilateral data exchange with Croatia, the data for the year 2022 has been revised. The dataset now includes information on natural persons who are residents of Slovenia and hold direct investments in Croatia. The same estimate will be applied in subsequent years, until a new bilateral exchange of such data takes place.
17.2. Data revision - practice
See Table 17.2. in the Annex at the bottom.
17.2.1. Data revision - average size
Table 33: Not applicable.
18.1. Source data
For Table 15 main sources used in identifying UCI:
- EuroGroups Register
- Administrative sources
- SBR
In case of conflicting information EGR (being the authoritative source) overrides other sources in decision making. We rely on the information obtained from EGR.
For Table 33: The main data sources used to identify reporting units are:
survey data (common for FDI and FATS) – around 90%
AJPES - administrative source regarding enterprises’ balance sheets – between 0 and 5 %
EuroGroups Register – between 0 and 5 %
publicly available sources – reading and checking daily news – between 0 and 5 %
18.1.1. Methodological approach
Table 33: Pursuant to the Bank of Slovenia Act and the Regulation on the mandatory reporting of transactions with the rest of the world, all resident units above the certain threshold and who hold a participating interest of 10% or more in the shares or other equity of legal persons in the rest of the world are obliged to report relevant data without prior request by Bank of Slovenia.
Once a year data from other sources are compared to surveys data and if it turns out that the reporting unit did not report the data, Bank of Slovenia requests from such units to do so.
18.1.2. Use of cut-off thresholds
Table 33: Reports on residents’ outward direct capital investments have to be submitted from Slovenian residents whose total assets exceed EUR 2 million and who hold a participating interest of 10% or more in the shares or other equity of legal persons in the rest of the world.
FATS population is subgroup of FDI population. There is a common survey for FDI and FATS, where enterprises with a participating interest of more than 50% have to fill out an appendix regarding FATS indicators - Performance indicators of non-resident partners controlled by reporting entity.
18.2. Frequency of data collection

Economic data obtained using:
Table 33: 100 % sample survey
18.4. Data validation
Table 33: Data sources are routinely assessed for response error, code lists errors. Outliers are routinely detected and reconciled. There are also validations against yearly balance sheet database and EGR data. Larger reporters are manually checked also with annual reports. Data is checked before transmission also in the struval/conval Eurostat Validation.
18.5. Data compilation
Table 33: Entities obliged to report shall submit the reports in electronic form via reporting software (web application iBSReport2), which is available on the Banka Slovenije website together with instructions for its use.
