The methodological manual is drawn up as a tool for helping national statistical institutes (NSI) to implement the Community surveys concerning individuals and enterprises and the information society, with emphasis on the survey 2006. It is a hands-on tool with recommended guidelines to follow a harmonised methodology and does not replace statistical handbooks. Annexes with the Eurostat model questionnaires, the transmission formats and the reporting templates as well as the legal background documents are included. The concept is to use it as a rolling document, which will be adapted and improved in line with the annual revision of the Eurostat model questionnaires.
