"Assessment Committee on the Results of Data Availability" responsible from the production of all modules in the Ediflow List is carrying out its studies to increase the proportion of data availability....

Following the decision taken at the last "Policy Group on Statistical Cooperation (PGSC)" meeting in Ljubjana, Slovenia concerning the collection of information on data availability in the Candidate Countries a questionnaire was sent to all Candidate countries. The main purpose of the study on data availability was to identify for each country (i) the data available, (ii) the data not produced for the time being, (iii) data transmitted to Eurostat and (iv) the data not transmitted to Eurostat.

Following the implementation of the data availability exercise which was run from November 2002 to March 2003 and followed successively by the submission of country tables by Eurostat, State Institute of Statistics (SIS) arranged continuous meetings at the Presidency level to assess the situation and take necessary decisions in order to initiate studies aiming to increase the proportion of Data Availability.

Consequently, an "Assessment Committee on the Results of Data Availability" responsible from the production of all modules in the Ediflow List was set up in SIS. A new table was designed to classify all data production with a reference to Ediflow list and circulated among all related departments.

Recently, the committeee is working very hard to categorize each module according to the problems that occur on the bases of production level in order to initiate immediately the production process and increase data availability.
