Statistics on the trading of goods between Member States, Intrastat: common framework  
2003/0126(COD) - 16/12/2003  
The European Parliament adopted the resolution drafted by Astrid LULLING (EPP-ED, L) and made a few amendments to the proposal. In particular for defining thresholds below which parties are exempted from providing any Intrastat information, Member States must ensure that the relevant information is such that at least 97% (rather than 98%) of the Member State's total trade expressed in value is covered.�
