  1. XBRL for Statistical Reporting Giuseppe Sindoni Eurostat Statistical Information Technologies

  2. Eurostat and the European Statistical System • Network of national institutions and agencies • Co-ordinated by Eurostat • European Commission Directorate General • European Union Statistical Authority • Tasked with providing a high quality statistical information service • 1000 data providers to Eurostat • No data collection directly from enterprises • Coordination role in primary data collection • More than 100 committees, working groups and expert groups

  3. Harmonisation & Methodology • EU Regulations and Agreements • Code lists, nomenclatures • Reporting tools, services and standards • National raw data • Aggregated European data • Latest technologies • Internet, Web-forms • XBRL?

  4. Co-ordination • Accounting & Statistics Task Force • IAS/IFRS • Collection of Raw Data Task Force (CORD) • (UNECE Task Force on Electronic Data Reporting) • Data reporting technologies • Projects • National • Commission funded • XBRL

  5. XBRL2004: preliminary analysis • Feasibility analysis to a project: extraction of statistical data from XBRL reports • Success depends on • Availability of GAAP taxonomies • Widespread use of the IFRS taxonomy • Statistical extensions needed in both cases • Extensions to be coordinated within the ESS • Strong appetite among financial institutions • A pilot project feasible for extraction of raw economic data by NSIs

  6. Financial frameworkThe X-DIS project • XML for Data Interoperability in Statistics • Funded by EU programme IDABC: • Interoperable Delivery of European eGovernment Services to public Administrations, Business and Citizens • Total budget: • 3,75 M€ for budget years 2005->2008 • Operational timeframe: • Q4 2005 -> Q2 2009 • 675.000 € to pilots and studies on XBRL and other sectoral standards for data exchange • Framework contract for this line of work awarded to Software AG • First specific contract started end of March 2006

  7. Objectives of the pilot project • Test: • Efficient use of XBRL in the statistical reporting chain • Chances of widespread acceptance by enterprises and institutions • Focus on • Reporting by enterprises to NSIs • Not on • Reporting by NSIs to Eurostat

  8. Analysis tasks • Mapping of existing taxonomies • Inventory of relevant ones • Mapping to statistical legislation • Monitoring of XBRL developments • Avoid duplications of efforts • Exploring possibility for synergies

  9. Development tasks • Creation of a statistical taxonomy • Is it useful and desirable? • One omni-comprehensive taxonomy or one for each domain (STS, BoP, etc.)? • Modular and extensible by member states • Test phase • Live environment (2-3 NSIs) • Suitable enterprise samples • Pipelining with SDMX

  10. Tasks on future implementation • Acceptance • Define if and how to make it operational in enterprises • Specific organisation aspects (burden, investments, etc.) • Advanced use of XBRL in surveys by NSIs • A single-source concept for financial and statistical data will increase the statistical quality

  11. Current state • 2-3 institutions to be “active members” in the Task Force • Statistical Institutes of BE, ES, NL + Bank of Spain • Focus on Structural Business Statistics (SBS) • Lack of companies already reporting in XBRL (!) • Project just started • Inventory of relevant taxonomies • Mapping to statistical regulations • Test phase June – September 2006
