Introduction

The purpose of this document is to provide the Message Implementation Guideline (MIG) of INSRES/XML, the application response to INSTAT/XML, the Intrastat declaration in XML.
This MIG has been designed, validated and approved by delegates of Member States and Eurostat within the framework of the EEG6/WG5.
The document “Intrastat message implementation model, version 6.2” is the basis of the definition of INSRES/XML.

These specifications contain:
  • Use case diagram of collection of intra-Community trade statistics (Intrastat system);
  • Activity diagram associated with the use case "Submit Intrastat declaration";
  • Sequence diagram associated with the use case "Submit Intrastat declaration"
  • Class diagram of the Intrastat system; this class diagram shows the static structure of the Intrastat system for application purpose;
  • Class diagram of the INSTAT message built from the class diagram of the Intrastat system;
  • Class diagram of the INSRES message (response to INSTAT) built from the class diagram of the Intrastat system.
INSRES/XML is derived from the class diagram of the INSRES message. More information about the Intrastat declaration in XML is provided in the MIG of INSTAT/XML version 6.2, October 2002.
The new XML Schema Definition Language (XSDL) developed by W3C defines the set of rules describing the structure of INSRES/XML.
INSRES/XML is an optional application response as an acknowledgement of receipt of INSTAT/XML or as an acceptance or rejection of INSTAT/XML at envelope or declaration level.
Errors found at envelope, declaration or item level of INSTAT/XML can be reported in INSRES/XML.

This document is structured in the following sections:
  • Introduction;
