Data collection (DATA_COLLECTION)
The data collection identification.
- NSNE
Reference year (TIME_PERIOD)
The reference year. The reference year will be 2023
Country (REF_AREA)
The code for the country.
Region (REGION)
The code for the region.
Variable (VARIABLE)
The selection of variables from the list of the core and module variables. Duplicates are not accepted. Partial lists are expected.
Value (OBS_VALUE)
The value for low prevalence variables (non-existent, non-significant) is by default 0
Observation status (OBS_STATUS)
The observation status flags for the variables are:
Code value | Code description |
L | Not significant, either:
or
|
N | Not significant, collected in another heading |
M | Not existent, missing value, data cannot exist |
Alternative variable (ALT_VARIABLE)
The variable where the value of a non-significant variable is reported. The variable can be the same as the one reported in VARIABLE (in FSS2016 corresponds to NS1) or another (normally the variable on a hierarchical upper level) from the list of variables (this case would correspond to the reported NS2 in FSS2016).
Source (SOURCE)
The source of the information that allows deciding that the variable is non-significant or non-existing. This is a free text field, but the users should strive to harmonise the information provided (same description for the same source).
Justification (JUSTIFICATION)
The code for the justification for the classification as non-significantnon-existing
- NATNot authorised (e.g. genetically modified crops) or not existing in the current legislation
- CLI Unsuitable climatic and agronomic conditions
- NPRNot profitable
- OTHOther (please specify in comments)
Justification comments (JUSTIFICATION_COMMENTS)
Justification needed for the case where the JUSTIFICATION is OTH A justification (free text) is required for the cases where JUSTIFICATION given is "other".
