Graphical Illustration of MALTA by NUTS Classification iii Statistical Regions and Districts of MALTA
The Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) is a hierarchical classification which divides the economic territory of the European Union for the purpose of producing regional statistics that are comparable across the European Union (NUTS levels 1-3). To meet the demand for statistics at a local level, Eurostat has created a system of Local Administrative Units (LAUs) that is compatible with NUTS.

NUTS divides MALTA into two regions:
1. Malta 2. Gozo and Comino.
LAU 1 divides MALTA into six districts and LAU 2 into 68 localities.

Foreword
Gozo in Figures 2015 is being published by the NSO one year after the setting up of the Regional Statistics Unit in Gozo under the auspices of the Malta Statistics Authority. It is, in fact, a sequel to two similar collections published in previous years. That said, this year’s edition is amply enhanced in various ways. Data is presented on 12 important statistical domains. Two new topics are Education and Renewable Energy Harvesting, while first-time perspectives on a district basis in the field of Tourism give rise to noteworthy insights regarding the current state of this industry not only in Gozo, but also in Malta. Another improvement is the increased presence of graphically illustrated data by way of a profusion of informative charts, including maps.
One objective of the NSO in releasing data in one compact publication is to provide a handy statistical aid. In this regard, the publication is organised in such a way as to provide a useful tool to the Office’s range of users, among them, policy makers, academics, the media, researchers, students, and the wider public. The longitudinal and spatial illustration of data is instrumental in indicating the socio-economic and environmental specificities across regions, districts and localities.

15 Methodological Notes
1. Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) constitute the output of an annual enquiry carried out by the NSO among private households. SILC is carried out by all EU Member States and is covered by a European framework regulation. The main scope of SILC is the compilation of statistics on income distribution, monetary poverty, social exclusion and material depriviation.
2. Definitions:
● Equivalent household size: this is calculated according to the 'modified OECD' equivalence scale which gives: − a weight of 1.0 to the first adult; − a weight of 0.5 to any other household member aged 14+; − a weight of 0.3 to each child. The resulting figure, which is the sum of these weights, is attributed to each member of the household.
● Equivalised disposable income: also known as 'national equivalised income'. It is the household’s total disposable income divided by its 'equivalent size', to take account of the size and composition of the household, and is attributed to each household member. For example, a household with two adults and two children aged less than 14, would have an equivalised household size of (1+0.5+0.3+0.3=) 2.1. If the total disposable income earned by the household is €20,000, the household equivalised income would result as (€20,000/2.1=) €9,524.
● At-risk-of-poverty threshold: also known as 'at-risk-of-poverty line' or 'poverty line'. This is equivalent to 60 per cent of the median national equivalised income of persons living in private households.
● At-risk-of-poverty rate: the share of persons with an equivalised disposable income below the at-risk-of-poverty threshold.

40 Methodological Notes
1. Data collection in respect of Education Statistics is carried out during the second quarter of the academic year. Therefore, unless stated otherwise, the reference period for the information provided in this publication is end of March.
2. Vocational Education programmes are designed for learners to acquire the knowledge, skills and competencies specific to a particular occupation, trade or class of occupations or trades. Such programmes may have work-based components, and their successful completion leads to labour market-relevant vocational qualifications acknowledged to be occupationally oriented by the relevant national authorities and/or the labour market. The vocational institutions whose data is included in this publication are the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology (MCAST) and the Institute of Tourism Studies (ITS).
3. The level descriptors of the Malta Qualifications Framework (MQF) were originally introduced by Legal Notice 347 of 2005. These represent neutral reference points to be used for all qualifications, be they academic, vocational, formal, informal and non-formal. The level descriptors areuseful for education and training providers, and for employers.
The Malta Qualifications Framework is structured as follows:
Level Descriptor
MQF level 8 Doctoral (PhD) Degree MQF level 7 Master's Degree; Postgraduate Diploma; Postgraduate Certificate MQF level 6 Bachelor's Degree MQF level 5 Undergraduate Diploma; Undergraduate Certificate; Higher Education Certificate MQF level 4 Matriculation Certificate; Advanced Level; Intermediate Level MQF level 3 General Education - Level 3 - SEC Grade 1-5 MQF level 2 General Education - Level 2 - SEC Grade 6-7; Secondary School Certificate and Profile (B) MQF level 1 General Education - Level 1 - Secondary School Certificate and Profile (A)

1. Employment and Training Corporation (ETC) data in Tables 4.1-4.4 is in line with NSO News Release No. 154/2015.
2. Definitions:
● Registered unemployment rate: this is worked out by taking into account the number of registered unemployed persons under Part I and Part II of the register, as a percentage of the sum of full-time gainfully occupied and registered unemployed persons. This data is based on the administrative records of the Employment and Training Corporation (ETC).
● Labour Supply/Labour Force: the sum of full-time gainfully occupied and registered unemployed persons. The definition excludes part-time employment. This data is based on the administrative records of the Employment and Training Corporation (ETC).
● Average gross annual salary: the annual basic salary received by employees before any social contributions and tax deductions. This amount excludes payments for overtime, allowances and bonuses. This statistic emanates from the Labour Force Survey (LFS), an enquiry which is carried out by the NSO on an ongoing basis using a quarterly gross sample of 3,200 private households.
3. Data may be subject to revisions by ETC.

59 Methodological Notes
1. The Business Register (BR) is administered by the NSO. It provides one of the most detailed local business profiles in Malta. It is classified by economic activity according to the NACE (Nomenclature Statistique des Activités Économiques dans la Communauté Européenne) . The scope and nature of the BR is the basis on which sample surveys with regard to business are conducted. Furthermore, the BR can be used as a source of statistics in its own right.
2. Births and Deaths record the demographic change in the number of units, i.e. registrations and/or deregistrations, and do not precisely record commencement or cessation of an activity by a unit. Business demographic events such as takeovers, mergers and split-offs are not catered for and may affect the data. The recorded births and deaths from 2011 onwards are affected by Legal Notice 524 of 2010.
On 1 January 2011, the Value Added Tax (Exemption from Registration) Regulations 2010 came into force, as notified in the above Legal Notice. The Regulations state that the VAT Commissioner shall not register any taxable person established in Malta whose turnover does not exceed €7,000 in a calendar year. Therefore business demographics from 2011 onwards may not be strictly comparable to those of previous years and should be treated with caution.
3. Employment size is classified as follows:
Size Class Persons employed Micro 0-9 Small 10-49 Medium 50-249 Large 250+
4. Data is subject to updates to the BR, which are ongoing.

67 Methodological Notes
1. Data is in line with the European System of Accounts (ESA 2010) (ISBN 978-92-79-31242-7) and the manual on Regional Accounts Methods (ISBN 978-92-79-32357-7). The European System of National and Regional Accounts is an internationally compatible accounting framework for a systematic and detailed description of a total economy (whether this is a region, a country, or a group of countries), its components, and its relations with other total economies. Regional accounts are a regional specification of the corresponding accounts of the total economy.
2. The nomenclature of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) provides a single, uniform breakdown of the economic territory of the European Union. This classification is used in the compilation of regional accounts. The economic territory of a country can be divided into regional territories and extra-regio territory. For the purpose of regional accounts, Malta is divided as follows:
NUTS 0 NUTS 1 NUTS 2 NUTS 3
MALTA MT MALTA MT0 MALTA MT00 Malta MT001 Gozo and Comino MT002 Extra-regio MTZ Extra-regio MTZZ Extra-regio MTZZZ
3. Gross Value Added (GVA) is presented at A10. The national estimates were revised in line with NSO News Release No. 195/2014 for 2000 to 2010, and with NSO News Release No. 232/2014 for 2011 to 2013. Employment data provided by the Employment and Training Corporation (ETC) for 2011-2012 was also subject to revision.
4. Data users should be aware that the industrial activities of General Government are spread over 19 different NACE categories (at A88 division) and include local councils and extra-budgetary units that are financially dependent on Government. NACE 84 is the largest category and, in terms of Gross Value Added, represented approximately 35.3 per cent of the General Government sector in 2013.
5. Definitions:
● Gross Domestic Product (GDP): an estimate of the value of goods and services produced in the economy over a period of time. GDP is estimated at current prices using the Production Approach, aggregating the output of the various productive sectors net of the cost of intermediate inputs.
● The regional territory: refers to the region that is part of a country's geographic territory, and to any free zones such as bonded warehouses and factories under customs control in the region.
● Extra-regio: refers to parts of a country's economic territory that cannot be attached directly to a single region. Such parts may include embassies, consulates, military bases, scientific bases and others.

Traffic accidents and injuries
1. The type of casualty (slight or grievous) is determined by the Health Department. The definitions of deaths caused by road accidents refer to the European Conference for Ministers of Transport (ECMT) and United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).
2. Minor traffic accidents which are not reported, i.e. no police or traffic wardens are called on the accident scene, are not accounted for.
3. A fatal injury is defined by UNECE as "Any person who was killed outright or who died within 30 days as a result of the accident".

125 Chart 8.27 Bed-places in self-catering establishments in Gozo and Comino by locality: 2014 126 Methodological Notes
Collective Accommodation Establishments Survey (Accomstat)
1. The objective of this monthly survey is to estimate the utilisation rate of bed-places in all active collective accommodation in Malta and Gozo. The variables include:
− Number of residents; − Number of non-residents; − Nights spent by residents; − Nights spent by non-residents; − Number of room nights sold to foreign residents; − Number of room nights sold to Maltese residents; − Number of bedrooms; − Number of bed-places; − Number of days the establishment was closed during the reference month.
2. The Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) licensing Department reclassified all collective accommodation establishments registered as aparthotels to hotels (refer to Legal Notice 351 of 2012).
3. Definitions:
● Non-residents: foreigners who do not necessarily follow the definition of a tourist and check into/out of a collective accommodation establishment.
● Residents: Maltese/Gozitan residents who check into/out of a collective accommodation establishment.
● Total arrivals: the sum of residents and non-residents.
● Total nights: nights which a guest actually spends or is registered to spend in a collective accommodation establishment.
● Average length of stay: the number of nights spent divided by the number of arrivals during a specified reference period.
● Net use of bed-places: the net occupancy rate calculated for all active accommodation establishments, net of seasonal closures and other temporary closures. The occupancy of bed- places is calculated by dividing the total nights by the number of bed-places available for use during the reference period. The result is then multiplied by 100 to express the occupancy rate as a percentage.
● Net use of bedrooms: the net occupancy rate calculated for all active accommodation establishments, net of seasonal closures and other temporary closures. The occupancy of bedrooms is calculated by dividing the total number of bedrooms used by the total number of bedrooms available for use during the reference period. The result is then multiplied by 100 to express the occupancy rate as a percentage.
Inbound Tourism Survey (Tourstat)
4. Tourstat measures the number of tourist trips carried out during a reference month. 'Tourist trips' differs from 'number of tourists' in that the same person can undertake more than one trip during a reference period.
127 5. Tourist air departures are collected through a continuous survey carried out at the departure lounge of the Malta International Airport (MIA). Personal interviews are carried out. A two-stage sampling design is used to survey air passengers. In the first stage alternate days are selected. Then, within each shift, a sample of passengers is selected systematically.
6. Tourist sea departures are collected through a regular survey carried out at the Valletta Cruise Port during three separate months every year. A quota sample is used. Survey data is supplemented by administrative data provided by ferry operators.
7. Definitions:
● Inbound Tourism: the activities of non-resident visitors travelling to Malta (i.e. outside their usual environment), and staying for not more than 12 consecutive months for leisure, business or other purpose. The number of inbound tourists cannot be equated to monthly passenger data released by the MIA because the latter includes departing Maltese and transit passengers.
● Tourist: a visitor who stays at least one night in collective or private accommodation in the country/place visited.
● Visitor: a domestic or international tourist or same-day visitor. A visitor can be distinguished from a traveller by three main criteria:
− The place visited is outside the usual environment; − The visit does not last for more than 12 consecutive months; − The visit's main purpose excludes an activity that is renumerated from the place visited.
● Same-day visitor: a visitor who does not spend the night in collective/private accommodation in the country/place visited.
Cruise Passengers
8. The majority of passengers embarking on cruise liners from Malta generally end their trip at the same destination. Therefore embarkations are not included in cruise traffic figures to avoid double counting.
9. Cruise liners calling at both Malta and Gozo during a single voyage are recorded as one liner call.
10. Definitions:
● Embarkations: Maltese cruise passengers, and foreign cruise passengers who arrive in Malta by another means of transport.
● Transit passengers: cruise passengers who arrive in/leave Malta on the same cruise ship.
● Landings: cruise passengers who arrive in Malta on a cruise ship and leave by another means of transport or stay in Malta.
Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) Register
11. Definitions:
● Farmhouse: holiday premises which are constructed and finished to represent a typical Maltese farmhouse located in an area that is compatible with a farmhouse environment.
● Holiday premises: comprises apartments, studios, villas, maisonettes, townhouses, terraced houses and other accommodation, in line with the meaning assigned to such premises in the Malta Travel and Tourism Services Act.
