Recommendations Manual on the Production of Foreign AffiliaTes Statistics (FATS)
- Share to:
The target audience for this manual are specialist producers, including statisticians in National Statistical Institutes, National Central Banks, EUROSTAT and other international organisations. The manual can be used also by users as background information.
The manual is together with the FATS-R the legal and methodological framework according to which inward and outward FATS are to be provided to EUROSTAT. It aims at providing information necessary to allow for the correct and consistent interpretation of the OECD-Handbook on economic globalisation indicators2 (hereinafter referred to as HEGI) in all countries.
The manual goes beyond the provisions in the FATS-R to push further to a harmonised methodology by identifying and recommending best practices. It includes also information on the experiences of Member States that can be useful for countries setting-up own data collections.
Full implementation of these recommendations will help to ensure that FATS are compiled and maintained on a consistent basis in all Member States; hence comparability and quality should be assured.
