International statistical guidelines
Wealth of existing standards – mainly on quantitative statistics
Developed jointly by I/Os (OECD, Eurostat, IMF, ILO, UN, etc) and NSIs over last 30 years
Aim to improve the quality and comparability of national and international statistics
Cover concepts / terminology, classifications, collection, transformation and presentation
Mainly domain focused – national accounts, prices, retail trade, international trade, BoP, industry, etc

Enhanced
Cover three broad sets ofissues:
- Improve survey response rates- Minimise respondent load- Harmonisation of surveyoperations and technical design – including use of Internet for collection
• Discussed at joint EC – OECD Workshop in Nov. 2005• Some recommendations require further work

Enhanced BTS / COS guidelines - Response rates and respondent load
Achievement of a satisfactory response rate key factor in quality of output
Need for clear strategies to minimise non-response – relating to collection methods and communication with respondents
These also minimise respondent load
Strategies need to be carefully thought through and adequately resourced.
Embodied in 7 strategies in para. 6 of paper.

Enhanced BTS / COS guidelines - Harmonisation of survey operations and
technical design Recommendations outline best practice for the development of
opinion surveys
Many are self evident. Provide a basis for benchmarking recommended practice and comparisons of data quality between countries.
Sample design and weighting methods – cover sample frame, sampling methods, treatment of missing data, weighting methods.
Design of internet surveys – detailed recommendations are intended as a starting point for further development of research-based principles – cover initial development, email invitation, questionnaire design, analysing results, giving feedback, security
Outlined in paras. 8-12 of paper.
