Foreign AffiliaTes Statistics (FATS) Recommendations Manual
- Share to:
This manual provides a common methodological framework for anyone working on the collection, compilation, transmission and analysis of FATS. As such, it makes a significant contribution to data quality and comparability. The target audience are FATS compilers, including statisticians in National Statistical Institutes (NSIs), National Central Banks (NCBs), Eurostat and other international organisations. The manual can also be used by FATS data users as background information. The FATS Recommendations Manual aims at laying down the methodology and guidelines for the collection and compilation of inward and outward FATS in the European Union. Member States of the EU have to provide information to Eurostat according to the FATS-R, the implementing and amending FATS Commission regulations and the recommendations of this manual. Full implementation of these recommendations will help to ensure that FATS are compiled and maintained on a consistent basis in all Member States; thus ensuring comparability and quality. The manual goes beyond the provisions in the FATS-R to make further progress towards a harmonised methodology by identifying and recommending best practices. It also includes useful information on the experiences of Member States. Thus, it can be a reference compilation guide for non-EU countries setting up their own FATS data collections.
