ANNEX II
1. The Statistical Business Register (SBR) referred to in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2186/93 shall normally be taken as the main source of the sampling frame. A nationally representative stratified probability sample of enterprises shall be taken from this frame.

2. 

— 20 NACE rev1.1 categories (C, D (15-16, 17-19, 21-22, 23-26, 27-28, 29-33, 34-35, 20 + 36-37), E, F, G (50, 51, 52), H, I (60-63, 64), J (65-66, 67), K + O)
— 3 enterprise size categories, according to their number of persons employed: (10-49) (50-249) (250 and more)

3. A sample size shall be calculated to assure a maximum half length of the 95 % confidence interval of 0,2 for the estimated parameters, which are a proportion of ‘training enterprises’ (after allowance for the non-response rate in the sample) for each of the 60 stratified elements identified above.

4. 
nh = 1/[c2 . teh + 1/Nh] / rh

Where:

nhthe number of sampling units in the stratum cell, hrhthe anticipated response rate in the stratum cell, hcmaximum length of half the confidence intervaltehthe anticipated proportion of training enterprises in the stratum cell, hNhthe total number of enterprises (training and non-training) in the stratum cell, h

ANNEX III

Countries shall take all appropriate measures to reduce item and unit non-response. Prior to imputation countries shall make all reasonable efforts to use other data sources.
Core variables, for which no missing value shall be accepted, nor imputation permitted are:

— A1, A2tot05, B1a, B1b, B2aflag, B2bflag, B2cflag, B2dflag, B2eflag, F1tot05.
Key variables, for which every effort should be made to avoid missing values and for which imputation is recommended are:

— A2tot04, A4, A5, C1tot, C3tot, C4tot, C7sub, C7tot, PAC, F2tot.
Imputation for item non-response shall be recommended within the following general limits (Member State experts should at all times apply their professional judgement in the application of these rules):

1.. When a record contains less than 50 % of variables presented then this record shall normally be considered as a unit non-response.
2.. For a single NACE/size cell imputations shall not be allowed if more than 50 % of the responding enterprises have missing data for more than 25 % of the quantitative variables.
3.. For a single NACE/size cell no imputation shall be performed on a quantitative variable if the proportion of responding enterprises for that particular variable is less than 50 %.
4.. For a single NACE/size cell no imputation shall be performed on a qualitative variable if the proportion of responding enterprises for that particular variable is less than 80 %.
Quantitative and qualitative variables are identified in Annex 1.
Departures from these principals shall be fully documented and justified in the national quality report.
Member States shall calculate and transmit a weight to be applied to each data record together with any auxiliary variables, which may have been used in the calculation of this weight. These auxiliary variables should be recorded as the variables EXTRA1, EXTRA2, EXTRA3 as necessary. The methodology adopted for establishing the weights shall be detailed in the quality report.

ANNEX IV

Data shall be transmitted to the Commission (Eurostat) in electronic form by means of a secure data transmission software application (STADIUM/EDAMIS) to be made available by the Commission (Eurostat).
Countries shall transmit two checked data sets to ESTAT:

((a)) the data set prior to imputation with preliminary checks;
((b)) the fully checked data set after imputation.
Both data sets shall contain the variables identified in Annex 1.
Both files shall be presented in comma separated variable (.csv) format. The first record in each file shall be a header record containing the ‘variable names’ as defined in Annex 1. Subsequent records shall detail the values of these variables for each responding enterprise.
