| Quality management | |
| Quality assurance | Data quality is ensured by applying the principles of the European Statistics Code of Practice and the NSS Common Framework for Quality Management including through the application of the internal methodology "Environmental Statistics Accounts", developed by the NSI. Quality assurance activities ensure compliance with the requirements of the Statistics Act in terms of quality criteria: adequacy, accuracy, timeliness, punctuality, accessibility and clarity, comparability and logical coherence. They also ensure the application of the principles of the European Statistics Code of Practice: sound methodology; appropriate statistical procedures; moderate respondent burden; cost-effectiveness; relevance; accuracy; timeliness and accuracy of presentation; comparability and coherence; accessibility and clarity. |
| Quality assessment | The quality assessment is carried out at each stage of the statistical production process, in accordance with the General Framework for Quality Management in the NSS and the principles of the European Statistics Code of Practice. She including statistical processes and statistical information. For quality assessment the requirements of the current methodological documents, including the instructions in the internal methodology "Environmental Statistics Accounts", developed by the NSI. To quality assessments of the data, their consistency is checked with the data from the Structural Business Statistics, Non-Financial National Accounts, and statistics on foreign trade in goods, as well as with Environmental Goods and Services and Revenues and expenditure for municipal waste and expenditure for water supply infrastructure and other statistics in NSI. Efforts are being made to continuously improve the quality of the data by improving the primary data collection system through the online-based ESIS, ensuring strict arithmetic and logical control of the input data, and performing additional analyses and verifications. |
| Relevance | |
| User needs | The data on environmental protection and restoration expenditure evaluates the financial commitment of an economy to environmental protection, how environmental protection and restoration expenditure affect international competitiveness, the application of the polluter pays principle and the cost-effectiveness of environmental control mechanisms. Main users of survey's statistical information are the state and municipal entities, associations (NIPS), enterprises and citizens. |
| User satisfaction | NSI conducts a regular statistical survey "User satisfaction with the provided statistical information products and services", which covers all statistical areas. It aims to assess the satisfaction of users with the statistical information provided by NSI and to define recommendations for the future development of the statistical system in accordance with the needs of users. |
| Completeness | The data complies with the requirements of the applicable legislation in terms of scope and observable indicators. |
| Accuracy and reliability | |
| Overall accuracy | The accuracy of the data, as one of the criteria for the quality of statistical information, according to the Statistics Act, is guaranteed through the quality assurance activities within the statistical production process. |
| Sampling error | To assess the stochastic accuracy of the survey results, coefficients of variation (relative standard errors) and confidence intervals (the range of values that in 95% of cases contain the true value of the indicator in the general population) are calculated for the main indicators, i.e. the estimated total value of the indicators is in the middle of the confidence interval, which is calculated as follows: the estimated total value of the indicators is in the middle of the confidence interval, which is calculated as follows: the estimated total value of the relevant indicator based on sample data -/+ the maximum error (stochastic error multiplied by a guarantee factor).
|
| Non-sampling error | The survey may contain non-sampling errors that occur at different stages of the survey and that cannot be completely eliminated. The main reasons for non-response are, on the one hand, the lack of an up-to-date survey framework at the time of sample formation (e.g., enterprises that have been restructured, closed or have ceased operations in the reported/reference period) and, on the other hand, refusal to participate in the survey or failure to contact. In order to reduce non-sampling errors, the following is carried out: - Updating the lists of monitored enterprises; - Developing a clear survey toolkit, continuously supplementing and updating it; - Conducting regular training seminars for TSO experts; - Assistance to respondents and TSO experts from the survey team at the NSI; - Data control at the stage of collection, entry and processing. |

| Comparability - geographical | Data are compiled at the national level. Given the application of common definitions and classifications, the data are comparability with the other EU countries. |
| Comparability - over time | Data are comparability over time. Time series are available since 1997 (since 2000 in INFOSTAT). When the methodology changes, the data in the time series are revised. |
| Coherence - cross domain | Data are coherent with: - The principles, definitions and concepts of the European system of accounts (National accounts), - System of Environmental Economic Accounting 2012-Central Framework (SEEA CF), - Structural Business Statistics, - Statistics on foreign trade, - Survey "Environmental Goods and Services", - Survey "Revenues and expenditure for municipal waste and expenditure for water supply infrastructure". A classification is applied, according to the Classification of Economic Activities, which allows joint analysis with national accounts data. |
| Coherence - internal | The data are of high internal consistency. Within the framework of the quality assessment procedure, the consistency of primary and statistical data by sources, economic activities, national and regional level of aggregated and detailed data is checked. |
| Cost and burden | |
The costs (budget) for statistical surveys are disclosed in the National Statistical Program, published on the NSI website. The priority in conducting statistical surveys is to reduce the burden on respondents. Actions are being taken to alleviate the burden on respondents, such as: collecting and verifying primary data through the online-based information system "Environmental Statistics", containing strict arithmetic and logical control; improving the instructions for filling out questionnaires; providing methodological and technical assistance; continuously exploring the possibilities for using information from administrative and other sources; conducting annual trainings for respondents and NSI experts, etc. The time required to complete the statistical forms is used as the main measure of the workload of the respondents. For this purpose, a section is included in each form regarding the time needed to fill in the form (including the time for data preparation), which the respondents must complete. Based on this information and considering the specifics of the survey, the respondents' workload can be determined as relatively high. The overall workload of the responsible experts is determined as high, especially in cases of data revisions from previous reporting periods.
