Assessment and Results. During the first two days of the mission and according to the ToR, the following topics were presented and discussed: the maintenance of the Farm Register (FR), the existing main statistical sources, the ways to check their quality and the production of farm statistics by Israel, Denmark and Italy. There was useful interaction between the experts. The two case studies of Denmark and Italy represent two different approaches: while the former is more based on administrative data, the latter is still strongly linked to surveys even though many administrative sources are already used or are under investigation. The Italian context seems to be more similar to the Israeli one. Regarding the Farm Register, some of the main outcomes are the following:  The need to list all the potential sources to be used for building up and updating the FR.  Ranking sources according to a certain set of indicators which may be used for assessing the degree of usability of sources (for instance: accessibility, costs, timeliness, steadiness, fitting with the observation domains and with main definitions, completeness and number of records).  Unique identification code which can be linked with an ID code adopted for the FR.  Methodological treatment of cases for which it is difficult to link a unit identifier with the identifiers used in the other sources (record linkage).  Definition of a set of basic rules to be used for assessing the degree of eligibility of a statistical unit, on the basis of ”signals” of activity present in the various sources. These rules may be deterministic (as it happened in Italy until the 2014 version) or probabilistic.  Capability of monitoring the units demography (in Israel the general trend shows an increase of the agricultural units without significant decreases, even though that may imply over-coverage of the FR. Dead records remain in the registry as the land is still there even if the business closed).  Agreeing on the list of main variables to be included in the FR (basically there should be identification variables, structural variables related to agriculture – lands, livestock – and economic variables at the second stage).  Methodological decisions about the logic to be used for making imputations for partial non responses.  Definition of a steady updating system using both administrative sources and surveys’ results as well.  Treatment of units belonging to some kinds of partnerships (same treatment of single units?).  Quality evalu...

Assessment and Results. From the course of the present mission it is clear that the ICBS are working intensely on several of the recommendations given at the first Mission and it will follow naturally to follow up on them in a later stage of this component. Statistics Denmark has for many years dedicatedly worked with quality and metadata. The systematic work with an integrated metadata system started in 2009 when also the first pilots on using GSBPM (Annex A2 – 10) for documenting production processes started. An actual quality managing position was created in 2014 when the position of quality coordinator was established. In 2013, prior to the position of quality coordinator, a steering committee for quality was in place. In 2015 a new organisational structure for quality management was in place. This is illustrated in the figure below: The day ended with an introduction to the hands-on exercise planned for the week. A: In the introductory meeting the person responsible from the audit team meets with the head of the unit and the person in charge of the statistical activity (this is not the head of unit, but the person responsible for the daily running of the statistics – working on solving the everyday tasks) and other persons having an active part in producing the statistics if the head of the unit finds this convenient. This meeting is set to be half an hour. B and C: The person in charge of the statistical activity is expected to fill in the questionnaire – in cooperation with the head of unit and under supervision of the person responsible from the audit team. The person in charge of the statistical activity is given two weeks to fill in the questionnaire. D: In the audit meeting the person responsible from the audit team and the audit experts meet with the head of unit and the person in charge of the statistical activity (this is not the head of unit, but the person responsible for the daily running of the statistics – working on solving the everyday tasks) and other persons having an active part in producing the statistics if the head of the unit finds this convenient. This meeting is set to two hours. E: The audit team drafts the report. This will usually be done within a week. F: In the final meeting the person responsible from the audit team and the audit experts meet with the head of unit and the person in charge of the statistical activity and other persons having an active part in producing the statistics if the head of the unit finds this convenient. This meeting is...

Assessment and Results. The current mission focused on the overall assessment of the needs of ICBS concerning specifications for combining GIS – Geographical Information Systems and other IT tools - with methodology for monitoring & management of multi surveys interviewer network underlining different aspects of GIS use in statistical production. The discussion led to the conclusion confirming the necessity for introducing an effective model of statistical division of country by establishing a stable network of statistical units based on small enumeration areas. Changes of the current definition of enumeration areas (EA) were discussed and concluded as necessary. All sides agreed that system of statistical division of territory has to be common for all statistical purposes including annual surveys, sampling strategy and censuses (population, housing, economy and agriculture). The main achievement of the mission was establishing a clear vision concerning the modern territory division system based on small statistical units (newly defined EA), created according to stable maximum limits, and covering the whole territory of Israel. The stable limits have to include maximum population and dwellings’ quantity on pointed areas. Additionally, other factors like nationality, language and forbidden areas can be considered. It has to be underlined that, for the planned future work, the social statistics can profit from wider use of administrative registers produced by ministries and agencies and should be considered as possibilities for burden and cost optimisation of census and surveys. It also concerns the spatial approach in social statistics (use of GIS) to geocoding data from administrative registers based on the stable EA network. Some ideas concerning merging the monitoring & management system with the system enabling assignment of the enumeration area to interviewers according to optimization of workload and travel distance, taking into account the best knowledge about territory obstacles, has been discussed and concluded as the reasonable solution of integrated use of GIS tools. The discussion yielded several conclusions and recommendations, which can help modernize Israeli social statistics. The above-mentioned assessments and solutions had been the basis for the conclusions and recommendations presented in section 3. MS experts together with Twinning Project experts finally concluded:  Recommendations on methodologies and IT-tools for managing and monitoring field work using geo...
