Migration Metadata and Quality Questionnaire - Immigration 1

Migration Metadata and Quality Questionnaire

This questionnaire is developed to ensure compliance with the requirements of Article 3 of Regulation 862/2007 on Community Statistics on Migration and International Protection. As given in the Article 9 of the Regulation, Member States must report to Eurostat on the data sources used, the reasons for the selection of these sources and the effects of the selected data on the quality of the statistics. Where estimations are applied to the data, Member States should report on the estimation methods used. Member States should also inform Eurostat of any changes that are made to data sources and methods used. The metadata collected through this questionnaire will be used to analyse the level of data reliability, coherence and comparability. In addition, the summary of this information will be used for preparing methodological files at Eurostat level, containing information related to definitions, concepts and data quality.
