Division 3.1 First data exchange
United Kingdom
The first data exchange takes place after the start of the processing of new data on legal units received from private providers of basic register data. If there is more than one provider, data referring to the same legal units is linked. The Commission (Eurostat) transmits to the NSAs the following data sets with information on the results of this linkage process and information on legal units. NSAs transmit back the same data sets with the corrected and completed information including confidentiality flags.
