In a nutshell

Eurostat receives and validates national data before European statistics can be produced. COOL facilitates the work of Eurostat production units by displaying together information on the transmission and validation of data files. It also allows taking further action in the Validation procedure, whenever required.

The tool is accessible to Eurostat domain managers only.

 

Main features

COOL is a web application intended for Eurostat Domain Managers who, through a single portal, wish to access information on data transmission and on the data validation process. COOL enables Eurostat users to monitor and manage several aspects of data exchange and validation. In particular, COOL enables users to:

  • View key information on files transmitted to Eurostat, including the number of files received, their format, the transmission date etc.
  • Download received files as well as the validation reports provided by Eurostat’s structural and content validation services
  • Take action to reject / accept data files when required

 

Other resources

For testing purposes, you may be asked to use the COOL Acceptance environment. Access to the COOL Acceptance environment is possible for users who have access to EDAMIS Acceptance rather than Production.
