         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/2242
         of 16 December 2019
         specifying the technical items of data sets, establishing the technical formats and specifying the detailed arrangements and content of the quality reports on the organisation of a sample survey in the income and living conditions domain pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2019/1700 of the European Parliament and of the Council
         (Text with EEA relevance)
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2019/1700 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 October 2019 establishing a common framework for European statistics relating to persons and households, based on data at individual level collected from samples, amending Regulations (EC) No 808/2004, (EC) No 452/2008 and (EC) No 1338/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1177/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EC) No 577/98 (1), and in particular Article 7(1), Article 8(3) and Article 13(6) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     In order to ensure the accurate implementation of the sample survey as regards the income and living conditions domain, EU-SILC, the Commission should specify the technical items of the data set, the technical formats for transmission of information and the detailed arrangements and content of the quality reports.

                     (2)

                     The EU-SILC survey is a key instrument for providing information required by the European Semester and the European Pillar of Social Rights, in particular for income distribution, poverty and social exclusion, as well as various related living conditions and poverty EU policies, such as on child poverty, access to health care and other services, housing, over indebtedness and quality of life. It is also the main source of data for microsimulation purposes and flash estimates of income distribution and poverty rates.

                     (3)

                     The international comparability of national and regional statistics on income and living conditions requires the use of statistical classifications for the territorial units, education, occupation and economic sector that are compatible with the NUTS (2), ISCED (3), ISCO (4) and NACE (5) classifications. The recommendations made by the United Nations in the Canberra Group Handbook on Household Income Statistics should also be taken into account.

                     (4)

                     The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            Article 1
            Subject matter
            This Regulation specifies the technical items of the data set, the technical formats for the transmission of information from Member States to the Commission (Eurostat) and the arrangements for transmission and the content of the quality reports in the income and living conditions domain (EU-SILC).

            Article 2
            Definitions
            For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions apply:

                        (2)

                        ‘reference period’ means the period to which a particular item of information relates;

                        (3)

                        ‘cross-sectional ’ means, in reference to data, those pertaining to a particular time or a given reference period;

                        (4)

                        ‘longitudinal’ means, in reference to data, those pertaining to given subsequent reference periods, observed yearly over a certain length of time with respect to the same observation unit;

                        (5)

                        ‘sample person’ means a member of a private household in the initial sample who is at least 16 years old at the end of the income reference period;

                        (6)

                        ‘sample household’ means a private household containing at least one sample person;

                        ‘selected respondent model’ means a mode of sampling based on individuals where the household to which the selected respondent belongs is the sample household and the selected respondent is the sample person;

                        (8)

                        ‘age’ of a person means the age in completed years at the end of income reference period,

                        (9)

                        ‘current household member’ means a member of a sample household at the time of data collection or compilation;

                        (10)

                        ‘co-resident’ means a current household member other than a sample person;

                        (11)

                        ‘household split’ means a situation where the sample persons living in a sample household at the time of wave x, live, at the time of wave x+1, in more than one private household within the national territory included in the target population; when a household split occurs, there will be only one initial household and one or more split-off households;

                        (12)

                        ‘initial household’ means a sample household which has undergone a household split and where any sample person who lived in that household at the time of wave x still lives at the same address at the time of wave x+1. If more than one sample person lived in the household at the time of the wave x and still live in that address at the time of the wave x+1 but in different households, the initial household is the household of the sample person still living at the initial address who has the lowest person number referred to in Annex III. If at the time of wave x+1 no sample person lives at the address of wave x, then the household of the sample person who had the lowest person number at the time of wave x is the initial household. If this person is no longer alive or no longer living in a private household within the national territory of the target population, the initial household is the household of the sample person with the next lowest person number. For the selected respondent model ‘initial household’ means the household of the selected respondent;

                        (15)

                        ‘modelling’ means generating information that is missing in the data set by making use of substantive relationships with information from outside the data set;

                        (16)

                        ‘collection unit’ means a household or person with certain characteristics to which or whom the information collected pertains;

                        (18)

                        ‘rotational panel design’ means sample selection based on a fixed number of subsamples, each of which is representative of the target population at the time of its selection. Each year, one subsample rotates out and a new one is drawn as a substitute;

                        (19)

                        ‘wave’ means a year in which a subsample is participating in the survey;

                        ‘panel’ means a subsample observed over more than one year.

            Article 3
            Statistical concepts and description of variables

               1.   Member States shall use the statistical concepts laid down in Annex I.

               2.   The technical characteristics of variables shall be those laid down in Annex II and refer to:

                           (a)

                           the variable’s identifier;

                           (b)

                           (f)

                           the reference period.

               3.   The variables for which missing values are not allowed and for which data shall be imputed shall be those identified in the Annex II.

               4.   All household and personal data shall be linkable for the whole duration of the panel, both for cross-sectional and for longitudinal information.

            Article 4
            Characteristics of the statistical populations and observation units and the rules on respondents

               1.   The target population in the income and living conditions domain shall be private households and all persons composing these households in the territory of the Member State.

               2.   Information at household and person level shall be collected or compiled for all household members, including all sample persons and co-residents as specified in Annex II. In the selected respondent model, data shall be collected through individual interviews only from selected respondents aged 16 or over. For a sample person, starting from the second wave, information shall be obtained on whether that person remained at the same address or moved to a different address from one year to the next, as well as on the new contact information in case of change.

               3.   Information on household members from the previous wave who are no longer household members shall be collected to establish whether those persons have died or whether they have moved abroad or to an institution or to a different address within the national territory.

               4.   A household shall be included for the collection or compilation of detailed information if it contains at least one sample person.

               5.   In both the initial and the split-off household, the full information required for current household members and the full information at household level shall be collected or compiled.

               6.   At least three attempts shall be made to contact a household or person before it is considered that it, he or she is non-responding, unless there are conclusive reasons why this cannot be done (such as a definite refusal to cooperate or circumstances endangering the interviewer’s safety).

               7.   Where proxy interviews are allowed, the proxy rate shall be kept as limited as possible with regard to:

                           (a)

                           the income personal variables;

                           (b)

                           any variables required for at least one household member aged 16 and over.

                     If a proxy interview is conducted, the identification of the person who has provided the information shall be recorded.

               8.   Detailed characteristics of the identification of households and persons shall be those set out in Annex III.

            Article 5
            Reference periods

               1.   The income reference period shall be a 12-month period, such as the previous calendar or tax year.

               2.   The reference periods for variables not referring to income shall be those specified in Annex II.

            Article 6
            Detailed sample characteristics

               1.   Only Member States that used the selected respondent model before 19 January 2020 shall be authorised to continue using the method over the following years.

               2.   Controlled substitutions of sample households or persons may be allowed only in the first year of each panel, if the response rate falls below 60 % and one of the following situations arises:

                           (a)

                           the sample household or person is not contacted because it/she/he cannot be located or is inaccessible;

                           (b)

                           the sample household or person is contacted, but the interview is not completed because the household or person refuses to cooperate, the whole household is temporarily away, the household or person is unable to respond or there are circumstances endangering the interviewer’s safety.

               3.   The set of sample households or persons for substitution shall be defined prior to data collection. There shall be no substitution with households or persons not belonging to that set.

               4.   Procedures shall be followed to ensure that the process of substitution is controlled to the maximum extent possible. Such procedures shall include using a design which ensures that the selected substitutes closely match the households or persons they replace in terms of their significant characteristics.

               5.   Small parts of a national territory amounting to no more than 2 % of the national population may be excluded from EU-SILC, as may French overseas departments and territories. Both exclusions shall not take place simultaneously.

               6.   If subpopulations covered by the survey are significantly under-represented in the achieved sample owing to specific non-response or attrition, Member States shall take measures such as oversampling, calibration or applying any relevant method to correct for the resulting bias. The methods used, their impact and any drawbacks shall be explained and assessed in the quality report.

            Article 7
            Data gathering periods and methods

               1.   For data directly provided by respondents, the fieldwork period shall be as close as possible to the income reference period, to minimise time lag between income and current variables.

               2.   The interval between the collection or compilation of data concerning a given household or person for successive waves shall be kept as close as possible to 12 months.

               3.   Data provided directly by respondents shall be collected by computer-assisted methods, including computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI), computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) and computer-assisted web-interview (CAWI). Justification shall be provided for any exceptions.

            Article 8
            Rules on follow-up

               1.   Sample persons, co-residents and sample households shall be observed for the purpose of the survey over the duration of the panel in accordance with the rules set out in paragraphs 2 to 7.

               2.   Sample persons moving to a private household within the national territory covered in the survey shall be followed to the location of the household.

               3.   Sample persons who are temporarily away from the household but who are still considered members of the household shall be covered by the survey in that household.

               4.   Sample persons who are no longer members of a private household, or who have moved outside the national territory covered in the survey or to an institution, shall be dropped from the survey.

               5.   Co-residents living in a household containing at least one sample person shall be followed.

               6.   Co-residents living in a household not containing any sample person shall be dropped from the survey.

               7.   A sample household shall be dropped from the survey in the following situations:

                           (a)

                           the household was not enumerated for a single year due to either of the following reasons:

                                       (1)

                                       the address was impossible to locate;

                                       (2)

                                       the address was non-residential or unoccupied;

                                       (3)

                                       there was no information on what happened to the household (the household was lost);

                                       (4)

                                       the household refused to cooperate;

                           (b)

                           the household was not contacted in the first year of the panel or in two consecutive years of the panel due to either of the following reasons:

                                       (1)

                                       it was not possible to access the address;

                                       (2)

                                       the whole household was temporarily away or unable to respond due to incapacity or illness or for other serious reasons.

            Article 9
            Common standards for data editing, imputation, weighting and estimation

               1.   Imputation, modelling or weighting shall be applied to the data where necessary.

               2.   Where non-response to income variables at component level results in missing data, appropriate methods of statistical imputation shall be applied.

               3.   Where any net income variable at component level is collected directly, appropriate methods of statistical imputation or modelling, or both, shall be applied to obtain the required target gross variables and vice versa.

               4.   Where non-response to an individual questionnaire occurs within a sample household, appropriate statistical methods for statistical weighting or imputation shall be used to estimate the total income of the household.

               5.   The procedure applied to the data shall preserve the variation in and the correlation between variables. Methods that incorporate ‘error components’ into the imputed values shall be preferable to those that simply impute a predicted value.

               6.   Methods which take into account the correlation structure (or other characteristics of the joint distribution of the variables) shall be preferable to the marginal or univariate approach.

            Article 10
            Formats for transmitting information

               1.   Member States shall transmit the data that comply with the characteristics of the variables as specified in Annex II in electronic form to the Commission (Eurostat).

               2.   Member States shall transmit the data to the Commission (Eurostat) in the form of micro-data files (including appropriate weights), using the statistical data and metadata exchange standard through the single entry point to allow the Commission (Eurostat) to retrieve the data by electronic means. The data must have been fully checked and edited.

               3.   Member States shall annually transmit all the subsamples belonging to the rotational design of the given year, regardless of their duration. All the subsamples shall be transmitted together.

               4.   Member States shall provide the metadata necessary for the purpose of microsimulation in accordance with country specificities and in conformity with an appropriate classification for the variables on social benefits, using the exchange standards referred to in paragraph 2.

            Article 11
            Quality reporting

               1.   Member States shall apply quality evaluation criteria and the detailed content of the quality report as laid down in Annex IV.

               2.   Member States shall transmit the quality-related reference metadata required by this Regulation to the Commission (Eurostat), using the statistical data and metadata exchange standard. They shall send the metadata through the single entry point so that the Commission (Eurostat) can retrieve the data by electronic means.

            Article 12
            This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

            This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

            Self-employment income means income received, during the income reference period, by individuals, for themselves or in respect of their family members, as a result of being or having been self-employed. Self-employment refers to jobs in which remuneration depends directly on the profits (or the potential for profits) derived from the goods and services produced (with own consumption considered as part of profits). A self-employed person makes the operational decisions affecting his or her enterprise, or delegates such decisions while retaining responsibility for the welfare of the enterprise. (In this context, ‘enterprise’ includes one-person operations). Remuneration for engaging in a hobby is regarded as an instance of self-employment.
            If the income collected or compiled corresponds to a time period earlier than the reference period, basic adjustments shall be applied to update the data to the income reference period.
            Self-employment income is broken down into:

                        (1)

                        Gross cash profits or losses from self-employment (including royalties) (PY050G);

                        rentals from business buildings, vehicles, equipment, etc., not included in the profit/loss of unincorporated enterprises, after deduction of related costs such as interest on associated loans, repairs and maintenance and insurance charges.

                        —

                        rent from land and receipts from boarders or lodgers (which are included under ‘Income from rental of a property or land’ (HY040G)),

                        —

                        rentals from dwellings not included in the profit/loss of unincorporated enterprises (which are included under ‘Income from rental of a property or land’ (HY040G)).

                  Income from self-employment shall be calculated as:

                        —

                        market output (gross revenue to turnover, including the value of goods produced by the enterprise but consumed by the self-employed person or his/her household),

                        —

                        plus the market value of goods and services bought for the unincorporated enterprise but consumed by the entrepreneur and his/her household members,

                        plus property income received in connection with financial and other assets belonging to the enterprise,

                        —

                        minus compensation of employees (wages, salaries and social security contributions for employees),

                        —

                        minus taxes on production and import taxes,

                        —

                        minus interest paid on business loans,

                  In practice if the self-employed person or business prepares annual accounts for tax purposes, the gross income profits/losses shall be calculated as net operating profits/losses shown on this tax account for the most recent 12-month period, before deduction of taxes on income and compulsory social insurance contributions.
            In the absence of annual accounts, either for tax purposes or as a business account, the alternative approach to measuring self-employment income shall be to collect the amount of money (and goods) drawn out of the business for personal use (for consumption or saving, including the market value of goods produced or purchased by the business but taken for personal use).
            1.2.2.   Value of goods produced for own consumption (HY170G)

            The value of goods produced for own consumption refers to the value of food and beverages produced and consumed within the same household.
            The value of goods produced for own consumption shall be calculated as the market value of goods produced deducting any expenses incurred in the production.
            The value of food and beverages shall be included if they are a significant component of income at national level or if they constitute a significant component of the income of particular groups of households.
            This value does not include:

                        —

                        the value of household services,

            Social benefits (1) are defined as current transfers received by households during the income reference period (2) and intended to relieve them of the financial burden of certain risks or needs, made through collectively organised schemes, or outside such schemes by government units and non-profit institutions serving households.
            Social benefits include the value of any social contributions and income tax payable on the benefits by the beneficiary to social insurance schemes or to tax authorities.
            To be classed as a social benefit, a transfer must meet one of two criteria:

                        —

                        coverage is compulsory (under a law, regulation or collective bargaining agreement) for the group in question,

                        it is based on the principle of social solidarity (i.e. if it is an insurance-based pension, the premium and entitlements are not proportional to the individual exposure to risk of the people protected).

                        (1)

                  Social benefits are classed as means-tested or non-means-tested benefits, and as contributory or non-contributory.
            Contributory schemes are social protection schemes that require the payment of contributions, by the protected persons or by other parties on their behalf, in order to secure individual entitlement to benefits.
            Non-contributory schemes are social protection schemes in which eligibility to benefits is not conditional on the payment of contributions by the protected persons or by other parties on their behalf.
            Means-tested social benefits are social benefits which are explicitly or implicitly conditional on the beneficiary’s income or wealth, or both, falling below a specified level.
            Non means-tested social benefits are social benefits which are not conditional on the beneficiary’s income or wealth, or both, falling below a specified level.

                        —

                        benefits paid from schemes into which the recipient has made voluntary payments only, independently of his/her employer or government (which are included under ‘Pensions from individual private plans (other than those covered under ESSPROS)’ (PY080G)).

                  3.   TOTAL GROSS AND DISPOSABLE HOUSEHOLD INCOME
            3.1.   Total gross household income (HY010) is computed as:

            The sum for all household members of gross personal income components (gross cash or near-cash employee income (PY010G); company car (PY021G), gross cash profits or losses from self-employment (including royalties) (PY050G); pensions received from individual private plans (other than those covered under ESSPROS) (PY080G), unemployment benefits (PY090G); old-age benefits (PY100G); survivors’ benefits (PY110G); sickness benefits (PY120G); disability benefits (PY130G) and education-related allowances (PY140G)) plus gross income components at household level (income from rental of a property or land (HY040G); family/children-related allowances (HY050G); social exclusion allowances/benefits not classified elsewhere (HY060G); housing allowances (HY070G); regular inter-household cash transfers received (HY080G); interests, dividends, profit from capital investments in unincorporated business (HY090G); and income received by people aged under 16 (HY110G))
            3.2.   Total disposable household income (HY020) shall be computed as:

            The sum for all household members of gross personal income components (gross cash or near-cash employee income (PY010G); company car (PY021G); gross cash profits or losses from self-employment (including royalties) (PY050G); pensions received from individual private plans (other than those covered under ESSPROS) (PY080G), unemployment benefits (PY090G); old-age benefits (PY100G); survivors’ benefits (PY110G); sickness benefits (PY120G); disability benefits (PY130G) and education-related allowances (PY140G)) plus gross income components at household level (income from rental of a property or land (HY040G); family/children-related allowances (HY050G); social exclusion allowances/benefits not classified elsewhere (HY060G); housing allowances (HY070G); regular inter-household cash transfers received (HY080G); interests, dividends, profit from capital investments in unincorporated business (HY090G); and income received by people aged under 16 (HY110G)); minus regular taxes on wealth (HY120G); regular inter-household cash transfer paid (HY130G); and tax on income and social insurance contributions (HY140G)).
            That means: HY020 = HY010 – HY120G – HY130G – HY140G.
            The variable HY140G includes tax adjustments-repayment/receipt on income, income tax at source and social insurance contributions (if applicable).

            3.4.   Total disposable household income, before social transfers including old-age and survivors’ benefits (HY023), is defined as:

            Total disposable income (HY020) minus total net transfers (unemployment benefits (PY090N); old-age benefits (PY100N); survivors’ benefits (PY110N); sickness benefits (PY120N); disability benefits (PY130N); education-related allowances (PY140N); family/children-related allowances (HY050N); social exclusion allowances/benefits not classified elsewhere (HY060N); and housing allowances (HY070N)).
            3.5.   Equivalised disposable income is defined as:

            The household’s total disposable income divided by its ‘equivalent size’.
            3.6.   Equivalent size

            Refers to the OECD modified equivalence scale (which gives a weight of 1,0 to the first adult, 0,5 to other persons aged 14 or over who are living in the household and 0,3 to each child aged under 14).
            4.   OTHER ITEMS NOT CONSIDERED AS PART OF INCOME
            4.1.   Contributions to individual private pension plans (PY035G)

            Contributions made to individual private pension plans, during the income reference period, refers to the pensions policies taken out by individual households on their own initiative and for their own benefit, independently of their employers or government and outside any social insurance scheme.
            These contributions represent the counterpart to pensions from individual private plans (other than those covered under ESSPROS) (PY080G).
            The term includes contributions to individual pension plans related to old age, survivors, sickness, disability and unemployment.

               (1)  The social benefits included in EU-SILC, with the exception of housing benefits, are restricted to cash benefits.

               (2)  To obtain a more accurate measure of the well-being of the household, the lump-sum benefits received during the income reference period are treated in accordance with Eurostat technical recommendations. In the same way, lump-sum payments received before the income reference period may be taken into account and imputed according to Eurostat recommendations.

            ANNEX III
            Identification of households and persons

               Household identification number

                        (1)

                        The household identification number (ID) is composed of the household number and the split number. The household number is a unique number assigned to each household in wave 1. That number shall be generated in such a way as to contain no information that might enable the household to be identified. The split number for the first wave shall always take the value ‘00’.

                        (2)

                        In the event of a household split, the initial household shall keep the household number and split number from one wave to the next. The split-off household or households shall keep the same household number, but shall be assigned the next available unique split number in sequence.

                        (3)

                        In the event of a fusion of two sample households, if the new household remains at the previous address of one of them, it shall retain the household number and the split number of the household that occupied that address during the previous wave. If the new household now occupies a new address, the household number and split number of the household of the sample person who now has the lowest person number shall be used.

               Personal identification number

                        (1)

                        The personal identification number (ID) is composed of the household ID and the person number.

                        (2)

                        The person number for any new person in the household shall be formed by adding 1 to the highest person number used, for all the years of the survey and the household ID.

                        (3)

                        The household ID shall be the household identification number of the household where the person first appears in the panel.

                        (4)

                        The personal ID shall remain unchanged throughout the time the person is taking part in the survey.

            ANNEX IV
            Detailed arrangements and contents of quality reports
            Member States shall include the following specific information in the quality report on the income and living conditions domain.

                        For each wave, the number of persons aged 16 or older who are members of the households for which an interview is accepted for the database, and who underwent a personal interview, by rotational group breakdown and total,

                        (c)

                        For each wave, the number of selected respondents (if applicable) who are members of the households for which an interview is accepted for the database, and who underwent a personal interview, by rotational group breakdown and total.

               Unit non-response

            For each wave, the following shall be reported: the distribution of households (original units and substituted units, if applicable) by ‘record of contact at address’, by ‘household questionnaire result’ and by ‘household interview acceptance’.
            For the first wave the unit non-response rate shall be provided in accordance with the formulas set out below.
            For the total sample, the unit non-response shall be calculated by removing, from the numerator and the denominator of the formulas set out below, those units that are out of scope, according to the follow-up rules.

                        —

                        Household non-response rates (NRh) shall be computed as follows:

                                    Ra is the address contact rate

                                    —

                                    Rh = Number of household interviews completed and accepted for database/Number of eligible households at contacted addresses. Rh is the proportion of complete household interviews accepted for the database.

                  For those Member States where substitutions are made in case of unit non-response, non-response rates shall be calculated before and after substitutions.

                        —

                        Individual non-response rates (NRp) shall be computed as follows:

                                    Rp = Number of personal interviews completed/Number of eligible individuals in the households whose interviews were completed and accepted for the database. Rp is the proportion of complete personal interviews within the households accepted for the database.

                        —

                        Overall individual non-response rates (*NRp) shall be computed as follows:

                  * NRp = (1-(Ra * Rh * Rp)) * 100
            For those Member States where substitutions are made in cases of unit non-response, non-response rates shall be calculated before and after substitutions.
            For those Member States where a sample of persons rather than a sample of households (addresses) was selected, the individual non-response rates shall be calculated for ‘the selected respondent’, for all individuals aged 16 or older and for the non-selected respondent.
            For the second and subsequent waves, the following information shall be provided:

                        —

                        Achieved sample size ratio

                  Ratio of the number of completed personal interviews in wave t to the number of completed personal interviews in wave t-1. This ratio shall be defined for sample persons and for all persons including non-sample persons aged 16+ and for co-residents aged 16+ selected in the first wave.

                        —

                        Response rate for non-sample persons

                  Ratio of the number of completed personal interviews of non-sample persons aged 16+ in wave t to all non-sample persons aged 16+ listed in the households accepted for the database in wave t or listed in the most recently conducted household interviews for households, which were forwarded from wave t-1 to wave t for follow-up, but could not be successfully interviewed in wave t.
            For non-response or attrition in some sub-populations (e.g. young people in selected-respondent countries, other households difficult to reach), for each sub-population concerned:
            Description of any measures taken to correct for non-response or attrition.
            Evaluation of the impact of any such measures, i.e. how far they correct for non-response or attrition; indicator: share of the subpopulation in the achieved sample vs share of the subpopulation in the sampling frame/initial sample.
            Evaluation of any difficulties such measures may indirectly involve (e.g. calibration involving high and volatile weights).

               Item non-response

            For income variables the following information shall be provided for each wave:

                        —

                        Percentages of households (per income components collected or compiled at household level)/persons (per income components collected or compiled at personal level) having received an amount for each income component,

                        —

                        Percentage of missing values for each income component collected or compiled at household/personal level,

                        —

                        Percentage of partial information for each income component collected or compiled at household/personal level.

                  Processing errors:

            The data entry controls, coding controls and the editing system applied to the data shall be described. An account shall be given of the main errors detected in the post-data-collection process, and the list of editing rules for income for income variables shall be provided.
            Procedures for implementing the follow up rules (in accordance with Article 8).
            Re-interview rates between wave 1 and each of the subsequent waves (to take re-entries into account too), bearing the out-of-scope rate in mind as well (i.e. among those interviewed at wave 1, the percentages at wave t of (a) individuals in interviewed households, (b) individuals out of scope and (c) individuals not interviewed for reasons other than their being out of scope).
            Re-interview rates (from wave t-1 to t) for people leaving their original household, broken down by sex.
            Re-interview rates (from wave t-1 to t) for young people (16-35) leaving home, broken down by sex.

               Data revision – policy

            Information shall be provided about any policy designed to ensure the transparency of disseminated data, whereby the preliminary data compiled are subsequently revised. If data are revised, this shall be reported.

            Average size of revisions and their direction
            Explanation of any difference between provisional and final data
            Date of dissemination of national results.
            COHERENCE AND COMPARABILITY

               Coherence- Household Budget Survey (HBS)
            For each year for which information is available, a comparison of the income variables with HBS shall be made.

               Coherence- National Accounts

            For each year a comparison with of the main target variables with National Accounts shall be made.

            COST AND BURDEN

               Respondent burden

            The mean interview duration per household shall be calculated as the sum of the duration of all household interviews plus the sum of the duration of all personal interviews, divided by the number of household questionnaires completed and accepted for the database.
