6.2. Institutional Mandate - data sharing | |||
There is no general datasharing. Nevertheless, results are send to Eurostat. |
|
|||
7.1. Confidentiality - policy | |||
STATEC guarantees the non-disclosure of confidential information when the statistical results are disseminated, except for foreign trade statistics. Regarding the latter, the detailed data that allows a resident exporter or importer to be indirectly identified is only kept confidential if the concerned economic operator sends a request for this to STATEC. Annexes: Luxembourg's statistical law |
|||
7.2. Confidentiality - data treatment | |||
In international trade statistics, which are at the basis of the production of the indicator, a passive confidentiality is applied: the data are considered as confidential only when importing units say they should be treated as such. |
|
|||
8.1. Release calendar | |||
There is no official national release calendar. |
|||
8.2. Release calendar access | |||
see 8.1 |
|||
8.3. Release policy - user access | |||
The release days are the days data are transmitted to Eurostat. According to the principle of independence, data is released to all users at the same time. |
|
|||
There is a monthly transmission to Eurostat according to the delays of transmission foreseen in the STS-Regulation. |
|
|||
10.1. Dissemination format - News release | |||
There is no monthly news release |
|||
10.2. Dissemination format - Publications | |||
There is no monthly publication |
|||
10.3. Dissemination format - online database | |||
There is no online database |
|||
10.4. Dissemination format - microdata access | |||
There is no microdata access. |
|||
10.5. Dissemination format - other | |||
Results are transmitted to the European Commission in the foreseen harmonized format. Data in Gesmes format was sent by 'edamis' to Eurostat until 04/2019. After that data, data is sent in SDMX-ML format to Eurostat. |
|||
10.6. Documentation on methodology | |||
There is no specific national methodology documentation for this indicator. The indicator is produced according to the guidelines elaborated in the methodological handbook on STS. Annexes: Methodology of short-term business statistics |
|||
10.7. Quality management - documentation | |||
There is no document on quality management available. |
|
|||
11.1. Quality assurance | |||
As for other indicators, there is no specific quality management concerning this indicator. Nevertheless, Statec produces these statistics according to the harmonized EU definitions and according to the ESS code of practice. Annexes: European statistics Code of practice |
|||
11.2. Quality management - assessment | |||
Considering the official EU harmonised methods used, Statec aims to produce high quality statistics in terms of relevance, accuracy, timeliness, comparability and coherence. Incoming raw data on buliding permits is accurate and complete. |
|
|||
12.1. Relevance - User Needs | |||
The indicator is produced for the European Commission according to the STS regulation. There is no information on additionnal user needs. |
|||
12.2. Relevance - User Satisfaction | |||
see 12.1 |
|||
12.3. Completeness | |||
The IMPX in Luxembourg covers NACE Rev2 26.20 |
|
|||
13.1. Accuracy - overall | |||
see 13.2 and 13.3 |
|||
13.2. Sampling error | |||
The indicator is no based on a sample, but on exhaustive import figures from international trade statistics. Therefore, there is no sampling error. |
|||
13.3. Non-sampling error | |||
The results are biased by the fact that they are based on unit values of partly heterogeneous products. |
|
|||
14.1. Timeliness | |||
The indicator has to be produced within six weeks after the end of the reference period. |
|||
14.2. Punctuality | |||
There is no national release of the results. The transmission to Eurostat is normally in time, but depends nevertheless on the availability of the staff (e.g. problems in case of longer absence for health reasons). |
|
|||
15.1. Comparability - geographical | |||
The ESS definitions are applied in the whole country. |
|||
15.2. Comparability - over time | |||
There are no breaks in the time series. |
|||
15.3. Coherence - cross domain | |||
The import price statistics are very specific and are only produced for the needs of Eurostat. In LU, there are no other import price statistics besides those transmitted to Eurostat. Therefore, comparisons with other statistical products concerning methodology, concepts or results are not straightforward. No formal comparisons were made with the main complementary statistics. |
|||
15.4. Coherence - internal | |||
not applicable |

|||
Burden for the economy: 0 € Cost for the NSI: 1 person * 1 day / month |
|
|||
17.1. Data revision - policy | |||
In the field of STS, Statec has no official release or revision calendar. Data dissemination depends on the deadlines foreseen in the STS regulation. Revisions are made each time when newer, completed or corrected figures are available. The revised results are used for national releases as well as for the data transmission to the European Commission. Users are only informed about the reasons of non-scheduled revisions if the revisions are considered to be important. |
|||
17.2. Data revision - practice | |||
see 17.1 . The same policy is applied for the data transmission to Eurostat. As there is no vintage database for this indicator, the calculation of Quality Performance Indicators (QPIs) is impossible. |
|
|||
18.1. Source data | |||
In the case of the industrial import price index, the data source is goods trade statistics. |
|||
18.2. Frequency of data collection | |||
Monthly collection of data on imports. |
|||
18.3. Data collection | |||
There is no specific data collection: the statistics are based on a subset of declared imports |
|||
18.4. Data validation | |||
Data are checked before the electronic processing (completeness, prices deviating from the normal level, etc.). |
|||
18.5. Data compilation | |||
The indices are only based on declared imports. |
|||
18.6. Adjustment | |||
There is no specific adjustment. |
