  6. STATE OF PLAY

  7. Top down approach • Based on ex ante analysis of existing – de facto standards (ESSnet on standardisation and EG on standardisation) • First series of 10 ESS Standards approved by ESSC in 2017 • The online catalogue of ESS Standards integrated in RAMON • ESS Standardisation web site on CROS http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cros/content/ess-standardisation_en 7 Eurostat

  8. Bottom up approach In 2017, Eurostat set a annualprocess, involving business/production units and WGsasking for • Need for standards • Existing and upcoming candidate standards • Planned change in existing standard The role of EG on Standardisation is to assessthesecandidate standards againstthe ESS standardisation principles. 8 Eurostat

  9. New candidate standards The EG on standardisation identified • ESS guidelines on temporal disaggregation (WG Methodology - TF) • Validation Handbook (ESS Vision 2020 Validation project and associatedESSnet) • Validation and Transformation Language (joint undertaking by Eurostat and SDMX secretariat) • as normative documents fulfilling the ESS standardisation principles and to beproposed to ESSC afterwritten consultation of the DIME/ITDG 9 Eurostat

  10. State of play Otherupcoming normative documents have been withhold for future adoption (2020-21) • Guidelines on the quality of multisource statistics (ESS VISION 2020 ADMIN and the ESSnet"Quality of Multisource Statistics") • Quality guidelines for frames of social statistics (ESS VISION 2020 ADMIN ESSnet"Quality of Multisource Statistics") • Standard quality report (ESS Vision 2020 Validation implementation) 10 Eurostat

  11. ISSUES and WAY FORWARD

  12. Potential issues • 2 out of the 3 standards proposed to the ESSC have receivedunanimous support from DIME/ITDG • VTL 2.0 (adopted by SDMX sponsors) has not reached an unanimous consensus becauseitsimplementation has not been tested by all countries (8 countries). • Eurostat left the final decision to the ESSC balancing the benefits of itstimely recognition against the risks 12 Eurostat

  13. Potential issues • Top down approach • Still few candidate without a formal status • UNECE Modern Stat Standards (GSIM, GAMSO, CSPA ,CSDA) not yetintegratedin the ESS catalogue. • Bottom up approach • Limitwithrespect to strategicaimsof standardisation (qualityimprovments, efficiency gains) • The need for speed in an everchangingenvironment (new data sources) where standards need to bequicklyidentified and adopted 13 Eurostat

  14. Way forward • EG on Standardisation to be more proactive with respect to external global standards (active watch) • Developing guidelines on the status (non mandatory) and the use of ESS standards at destination of NSIs, Business owners • Global mapping of ESS standardisation artefacts combininglegalactsand ESS standards) • EG on standardisation workingcloserwith WG on standards (transfer of responsibility in Eurostat) 14 Eurostat
