(a)

statistical information must be correct: all linear constraints must be fulfilled, e.g. subtotals must add up to totals, and data must be consistent across all frequencies;

(b)

reporting agents must be able to provide information on the developments implied by the transmitted data;

(c)

statistical information must be complete and must not contain continuous or structural gaps; reporting gaps should be transitory and must be reported to the NCB (and by the NCB to the ECB), explained to the relevant NCB and, where applicable, bridged as soon as possible;

(d)

reporting agents must follow the dimensions, rounding policy and decimals set by the relevant NCB for technical transmission of the data.
