Eurostat is the statistical office of the European Union. It is their mission to provide high-quality statistics and data on Europe. They have over 7000 datasets that are free to download and use. To get access to this data, either API knowledge is required or manual work needs to be performed to pre-process and download data. This is where FME kicks in, with a newly devoloped reader by the EEA in collaboration with Sweco it becomes super easy to access all the data that is found on the Eurostat website with just a few simple clicks. In this presentation we will show the work that we've put into this and how you, as a FME user can get access to it. Allowing both you and your organization to get access to the incredible data that has been provided by Eurostat.

Why the Eurostat Reader?
1. Data enrichment!
Data can increase in value if merged with other.
(Example Air quality and population)
2. A common aggregation “administrative regions”
A geographic European layer that has a common agreed
coding system.
3. Reduce reporting cost
Data collection is sometimes reported by more than one
EU institution. (Example Energy data)
4. A reader ensures consistency
EEA has many data custodians implementing different
processes.
5. EEA and Eurostat transfer lots of data
EEA provides Environmental statistics to Eurostat.
