Introduction

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.
