Data provision

[no-lexicon]

Dear CROS portal user,
In order to log in to CROS (from a computer outside of the European Commission’s IT environment), you need to have an EU Login account allowing two-factor authentication. That means that you must either register your mobile phone number in your EU Login account or install the EU Login application on your smartphone. See the instructions for doing so at here.
All EU login accounts have to be validated by the CROS portal team. (Until they have been validated, they will be blocked.) From 25 May onwards, please send us a request via the contact form in case your account is still blocked (in order to have your account validated).

Decentralised and Remote Access to Confidential Data in the ESS (DARA)

[no-lexicon]The aim of the ESSnet project DARA is to establish a secure channel from a safe centre within a NSI to the safe server at Eurostat so that researchers can use confidential community statistics in their own Member States without traveling to Luxembourg.[/no-lexicon]

DA

Main objectives: to study the feasibility of setting up a network of Safe Centres that enables access to confidential microdata sets for research purposes throughout EU countries.

Data without Boundaries - CROS community

The Data without Boundaries (DwB) project aims to an integrated model for accessing official data, a model where the best solutions for access are available irrespective of national boundaries and flexible enough to fit national arrangements.

Microdata Access

Microdata consist of sets of records containing information on individual respondents. To protect the anonymity of respondents (persons, households, organisations), the access to microdata is restricted. Usually access to microdata is limited to researchers.

Types of microdata

Documents

Public use files for European Statistical System (ESS) microdata released by Eurostat

Public Use Files (PUFs) consist of sets of records containing information on individual persons, households or business entities (microdata). The files are created to allow the general public to get familiar with statistical microdata files. The files are prepared in such a way that individual entities cannot be identified; this goes with a loss in information value.
