ANNEX VIII
STRUCTURE FOR STATISTICAL DATA SETS
The data sets specified in this Annex define the periodicity for the maritime transport statistics required by the Community. Each data set defines a cross-classificationcross 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.
The conditions for collecting data set B1 shall be decided by the Council on a proposal from the Commission in the light of the results of the pilot study carried out during a three-year3-year transitional period, as provided for in Article 10 of Directive 95/64/EC and concerning the feasibility and the cost to Member States and to the respondents of collecting those items of information.
