MISSCEO Correspondent Manual

This manual has been developed in order to co-ordinate the contents of the MISSCEO comparative tables. It is hoped that the national representatives from the member and observer states of the Council of Europe can take this book back to their home country and use it to train those who shall help them compile the comparative tables.

The basic aim of this manual is to facilitate that comparison by ensuring that the same type of information is provided for each section. It is very important that the same type of information is placed in the same field of the table. This is not just important for abstract comparability but also for fair representation. If different types of information are placed under the same field there is a danger that some states artificially appear better than others, this might be the case where one state mentions something that another state has taken for granted and thus not written down. This manual is therefore very important in order to provide a fair representation of each state’s social security legislation.

It is important to note that the manual will only specify the type of information required, as it respects the individuality of each system. The reflection of this individuality is crucial to the success of the tables, otherwise they may not be used for comparison.

As well as enhancing comparability this manual also contains references intended to improve the basic ‘understandability’ of the information provided. The tables should be composed in such a way the scheme in question is described briefly, clearly and above all accurately.

The manual deals with one comparative table at a time, briefly introducing the scope of that table before describing the type of information required by each field of that table.
