Processing error | The coding, initial data checking and data entry were carried out at the Regional Statistical Offices (RSO).

The data tools framework (programme for data entry) was designed with additional controls and filters. There were added also extra checking rules by comparing the entered information between different related questions in order to confront possible inconsistent answers. During the data entry experts from RSOs, who met difficulties or problems contacted experts in Head Office for solutions. Some general decisions or emerged special features were spread to all RSOs as extensions of the methodology. After finishing the work at regional level, the data was checked and validated again in the Head Office. Some mistakes emerged mainly at coding, and were corrected at the database. Additional verifications were made at record level. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
