The purpose of this document is to provide the Message Implementation Guideline (MIG) of 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 Intrastat system implementation model, version 6.2 is the basis of the definition of INSTAT/XML. These specifications provide the following models described in UML (Unified Modeling Language):

· 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.

INSTAT/XML is derived from the class diagram of the INSTAT message.

The specifications of INSTAT/XML take into account the following standards:
· Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Second Edition), W3C Recommendation, 6 October 2000 (http://www.w3.org/XML);
