Each data set defines a cross classification of a limited set of dimensions at different levels of the nomenclatures, aggregated across all other dimensions, for which statistics of good quality are required.\nThe conditions for collecting data set B1 will be decided by the Council on a proposal from the Commission in the light of the results of the pilot study during a three-year transitional period as defined in Article 10 of this Directive.\nSUMMARY AND DETAILED STATISTICS\nThe data sets to be provided for selected ports for goods and passengers are A1, A2, B1, C1, D1, E1, F1 and/or F2.\nThe data sets to be provided for selected ports for goods but not for passengers are A1, A2, A3, B1, C1, E1, F1 and/or F2.\nThe data sets to be provided for selected ports for passengers but not for goods are A3, D1, F1 and/or F2.\nThe data set to be provided for selected ports and for ports which are not selected (for neither goods nor passengers) is A3.\nData set A1:\nSeaborne transport in the main European ports by port, type of cargo and relation\nPeriodicity:\nquarterly\nData: Gross weight of goods in tonnes.\nVariables\nCoding detail\nNomenclature\nDimensions\nData
