The monthly data of Intra EU transactions, have been adjusted to the total trade transactions with EU countries, (including the transactions below the statistical threshold ), on the basis of the Recapitulative Statements of Intra-EU Deliveries and Acquisitions that are submitted by the enterprises in the Ministry of Finance. Accordingly, the provisional data from the incomplete customs declarations have been incorporated in the monthly data on trade with third countries and, after having been completed, they will be replaced by the final data. By virtue of EU Regulations on the compilation of intra-eu trade statistics, Member States set out a statistical exemption threshold. On the basis of the exemption threshold, the enterprises whose transactions are below the statistical threshold are exempted from the obligation to submit data on their intra-community transactions (Intrastat declaration). The aim is to reduce the burden on enterprises. The statistical exemption threshold, valid for each year, is specified and released by ELSTAT on a yearly basis.

EXPLANATORY NOTES Commercial Transactions of Greece Legal Framework Reference Period Availability of Results Definitions Methodology The Commercial Transactions of Greece are recorded on a monthly basis aiming at monitoring the total value of Imports-Arrivals, Exports-Dispatches as well as the relevant changes of the above-mentioned categories. Transactions reffering to services are not included, while they are taken into account for the compilation of the National Accounts tables, along with the commercial transactions. The survey is conducted in compliance with the requirements laid down in the following E.U. Regulations: Intra - EU TRADE: Regulation 638/2004, as it was amended by Regulations 222/2009, 1093/2013 and 659/2014. Extra - EU TRADE: Regulation 471/2009 38 days after the end of the reference month (provisional data). The provisional data are revised and disseminated on a monthly basis for all the previous months until the finalization of the yearly data, which takes place ten months after the end of the reference year. INTRASTAT is the system for collecting Intra EU statistical data (among the EU countries). It was implemented on January 1st, 1993. Arrival is considered every import of goods from a country of the EU. Dispatch is considered every export of goods to a country of the EU. EXTRASTAT is the system for collecting external trade data with third countries (countries outside the EU). Import is considered every import of goods from a third country (outside the EU). Export is considered every export of goods to a third country (outside the EU). INTRASTAT: It is an exchaustive statistical survey. The parties responsible for providing statistical information through Intrastat System are the enterprises which perform intra EU trade transactions and they have exceeded the applied statistical thresholds. The statistical thresholds are readjusted each year. The statistical thresholds for 2015 are the following: Arrivals: 150,000.00 (94,90% coverage) Dispatches: 90,000.00 (97,90% coverage) The statistical data of Intra EU-Trade include also the transactions of the enterprises, which are not obliged to submit Intrastat data since the value of their transactions is below the applied statistical threshold. In compliance with the obligations provided in the EU Regulations regarding the compilation of external trade statistics, these transactions are calculated on the basis of the Recapitulative Statements of Intra-EU Deliveries and Acquisitions that all the enterprises are obliged to submit to the Ministry of Finance. ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION: Intrastat declarations are submiitted electronically via links: http://eurostat.statistics.gr or www.statistics.gr. the following References EXTRASTAT: It is a statistical survey where data are collected by administrative sources. The Customs Authorities collect the relevant statistical data on trade by filling in the Single Administrative Document (SAD). All the transactions with third countries above the amount of 1.000 euros are registered. In the beginning of each month Customs Authorities transmit to Hellenic Statistical Authority an electronic file with the customs data of statistical relevance of the previous month. The statistical data of imports and exports of goods with the Third Countries, are derived from the data transmitted by the Customs Authorities. The incorporation, henceforth, of the provisional data from the incomplete customs declarations" - which concern mainly petroleum products - in the monthly data on trade with third countries; the incomplete customs declarations data after having been completed will be replaced by the final data. Classification of goods: The goods are classified in compliance with the 8-digit Combined Nomenclature Code (CN/8) and the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC). More information concerning the survey on Commercial Transactions is available on the website of the Hellenic Statistical Authority (www.statistics.gr) under the link "Statistical Themes / Trade - Services / Imports-Exports / External Trade 13
