FATS – Foreign AffiliaTes Statistics
FATS-Regulation (adopted 20 June 2007) covering inward
and outward FATS
Mandatory data collection from reference year 2007
onwards
Voluntary data collection reference years 1996-2006
FATS-Recommendations Manual (published July 2007)
Consistency as much as possible with HEGI and MSITS
Pilot studies testing the feasibility of additional data
requirements: results in 2009 / 2010

FATS – Pilot studies
Inward FATS pilot studies:
– Total and intra-group imports and exports, broken down by goods
and services (11)
– Size class breakdown (5)
– NACE sections M, N and O (3)
– R&D variables for service activities (3)
Outward FATS pilot study:
– Total imports and exports, broken down by goods and services (12)
– Intra-group imports and exports, broken down by goods and
services (11)
– personnel costs (13), value added at factor costs (11), gross
investment in tangible goods (12), other variables (2)

FATS-pilot: Definition of exports and imports
According to ESA95/SNA93:
Exports and imports of goods and services:
transactions from residents to non-residents or vice
versa
Goods: change of ownership
Services: Services rendered
Definitions apply for inward and outward FATS, therefore:
Inward FATS: residents foreign-controlled affiliates
located in (data-) compiling country
Outward FATS: residents foreign-controlled affiliate
located in host country

FATS-pilot: Definition of intra-group exports and imports
According to ESA95/SNA93:
Subset of total intra-group exports and imports
Intra-group exports and imports: all trade transactions
between foreign affiliates, the ultimate controlling unit and
all non-resident affiliates controlled by the ultimate
controlling unit
Not included: trade partners in the same country as the
foreign affiliate in question

FATS-pilot: Valuation of trade variables
Goods: f.o.b. at the border of the exporting country
Services: Market prices according to MSITS
Possible limitations in comparability to BoP and Trade
statistics:
Legal constraints with forbid to use BoP and Trade data,
e.g. confidentiality
SBS-Variables can be used, but estimation of f.o.b. and
market prices needed:
–
–
exports: turnover
imports: total purchases of goods and services
Breakdown by industrial activities (BoP and FATS) vs.
breakdown by products (Trade)

International Sourcing
Provisions of services outside the EU
Aim of the project: Factors driving international sourcing of
goods and services, e.g.
–
–
–
–
–
impact on the competitiveness of the enterprises
motivations
benefits
barriers
consequences for employment
relocation of domestic (or domestically sourced)
production to producers located abroad
14 Member States participating, results: mid-2008

EuroGroups Register
New Business Register Regulation in progress: aims at
including recording of enterprise groups as well as the exchange
of data on MNEs and their constituent units between Member
States and Eurostat for statistical purposes
The exchange of data implies the creation of a Community
register of MNEs: EuroGroups register
Feasibility study 2006: 4 National Statistical Institutes, 600
MNEs, over 80,000 units
Data from private sources, consolidated at Eurostat and
checked by Member States
Implementation planned 2007-2009.
Ultimate aim: cover all MNEs which operate in Europe

Modernisation of European Enterprise and Trade
Statistics (MEETS)
provides financing for the development of enterprise and
trade statistics in the years 2008 until 2013
Legal basis in progress
Reaction to changes in world economy combined with
reduction of administrative burden on businesses
18 September 2007
Item 10. d) Globalisaton projects at Eurostat
11
Main objectives of MEETS
1. Identification of new areas and areas of lesser importance
One priority is globalisation (seminar, task force, grants)
2. Streamlining of all statistics related to business:
integration of concepts and methods in business statistics
focus on European perspective
co-ordination of the legal acts
harmonisation of the methodologies
work on the further integration
linking of statistical classifications
linking of business registers and related sources,
inclusion of MNEs into the business register
set up of the reporting on MNEs

Main objectives of MEETS
3. Integration of data collection and treatment
single system or micro-data linking
use of administrative data
ensure that the data that still needs to be collected can be
obtained easily from the company accounts.
Development of standard estimation techniques
4. Simplifications to the Intrastat system:
thresholds, ICT improvements, nomenclatures etc.
Investigation of a single flow system
